Just had my Leda B suspension overhauled and a good job too as 2 of the springs were broken.

I decided to upgrade the springs to a combined linear/ progressive temper setup - and the result is amazing.

My car had a fast road spring rate - linear 325 lbs front. 225 lbs rear.

Now having the progressive setup - the rates are 250-550 progressive springs all round with 600lbs front and 400 lbs rear. The result is a more compliant ride over bumpy roads with slight roll before the main springs take effect. This I believe will make a massive improvement in grip on twisty/ bumpy roads - which lets face it is the UK.

For my sprints and hillclimbs they will be amazing - I'm sure. Got some practising to do now in time for Scooby Shootout

Also must give top marks to John and Beverley at LEDA for making me feel so welcome and the top job they have done - very professional.

Cheers

Terry

Nice one Terry.

I'm looking at fitting some Tein SS coilovers with poillowball topmounts soon, to go with my new wheels!!

When's the next hillclimb? I might pop along for a 'family# day out!

Mate - what chance have I got against that EVO?? You're running more power and have an even better suspension setup - and 1B tyres.

You just need to push that right hand pedal a bit further down.

terryb

Jon - you're right mate - lovely folk and great hospitality. John is very knowledgeable too

I'll post on here once I've done some testing or competed in Scooby Shootout

Cheers

Top guys at Leda, went for a visit a while back and was impressed with the workmanship.
I will be getting a set of coilovers from leda when my std shocks die, they will also fit them and do laser tracking as well.

Local as well, Braintree.
