....for a 00MY UK?

Do they destroy the ride?

Do they do a bespoke set for a 5Dr? (longer rear spring??)

Cheers!

No noticeable difference in road handling for me, put loads better improvement in cornering.

£235 fitted from the boys at Tyres Northampton.

Greg,

Really no difference to ride?

I think the damping and body control in the Scooby is excellent, but it does roll a bit in the long-quicker corners and with quick weight transfer.....I want to reduce this without sending the car all over the road.......

>> Really no difference to ride

Really, in fact it feels better all round. I have a load of speed humps around me, no noticeable difference in going over them.

Whereabouts are you? I'm in Leeds but am in Slough Wednesday if you want a ride to see if you can notice any difference.

I had mine fitted by Tyres Northampton about 6 weeks ago along with 17" wheels so of course, I felt a little difference to the ride quality, but not as much as I thought. Greg is right about speed humps - I do not experience any difference in going over them. I have been unfortunate enough to go over a few minor potholes, and this is where it is felt more, but in terms of reduced bodyroll and ouright cornering confidence they are a fantastic modification.

I'm not sure if there is any difference between 4 dr and 5 dr (I have 4 dr), but I would call the guys at Tyres Northampton - 01604-588599.
