I want a firmer ride but don't know what to get.
Guys,
I have a MY99/00 classic and was thinking of upgrading the suspension. I don't have a great deal to spend. All I want to do is have a slightly firmer ride. I currently have standard shocks and springs. I don't want or need it lowering, just a bit firmer. Any ideas? Thought about different springs or shocks or both but wouldn't really know what to go for. Some from a different model perhaps? Or coilovers? I really don't know how to get the ride I'm after so any ideas appreciated.
Cheers,
Chad.

From: Somewhere in Kent, sniffing some V-Power
I've got some Eibach Pro 35mm lowering springs on my MY99 UK Turbo.
Feels firm, but definatley not uncomfortable.
Thats on standard shocks with Prodrive geometry settings.
£150 for springs, £50-£100 for geometry setup.

I've got the Eibach Pro Springs (25mm drop) on mine, with standard shocks and the ride is greatly improved, especially after geometry setup. I think I paid something like £300 all in at Powerstation inc. parts, labour and geometry, so not a fortune either.
