Default Suspension

Now one of my shocks is fecked. see other thread

I'm thinking of upgrading my suspension. I don't want or need any serious high end racing gear just something thats good for road use and occasional track whilst obviously being better than stock.

Reading up it seems that the US guys like
Tein Flex
Buddy Clubs racing spec
Leda

Does anyone in the UK run aftermarket suspension and hopefully the teins?
Could anyone sort me out with a test drive and/or ride?

Group buy anyone?

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately not too sure on price as the car used to belong to Brian and came nicely tuned and fettled. The ride is very solid and only slightly lower as with coilovers you have adjustment. I feel after reading your sig and posts you know far more about the s then I do.

Driving wise the car sticks to the road and handles extremely well. I believe the price for the suspension set up to be quite high as the bushes were all upgraded as well.

Sorry I can't be of more use, as I add to the car myself I learn more but suspension would be above my tampering skills

Yea, I don't think the ohlins are within my price range but interesting non the less.

I think Brian id alot of research etc.. so i'd hope they were good!!

Reckon you're opening a can of worms there Lou! Suspension seems to be an emotional subject

That link in the 2nd reply of the link s2uk just posted is interesting reading....Leda are just down the road from me which could be handy.
