Mike et Al,

I hear that there is going to be an improved Prodrive suspension kit for the MY01. It sounds like it's going to be a fully adjustable (hight and rebound) kit similar to the Scoobysport Leda B.

Does anyone have any details ? Prices ? Availability ? Will it be a Prodrive fit or a dealer fit ?

Anything appreciated .... Andy

Read Mike's and my comments about 01 suspension on the thread listed below.

We are both in agreement that fitting lowering springs (only) to this car will be disastrous.

I'm sure some will be available soon though

pete,

fair enough, so whats your opinion on using springs only on the old car- loads seem to do it with good results?

The old car has completely different travel distances and damper rates.

Personally I prefer the damping on a tuned set up but, ON THE OLD CAR, provided the springs don't lower it more than about 15mm, it seems to get good reviews.
