Hi Guys and Gals,
I have recently been refurbishing our 1995 VR6. We bought the car when it was 3 years old. The car has now done just over 80,000 miles. Although the car has always passed its MOTs I have, for many years, thought that it had lost (!) some of the quality in the handling department. The car would judder over ruts and wander about at high speed!
I have just taken the plunge and sorted it out. Having read many of the postings on this forum I was very keen not to make a mistake and ruin the ride. After a lot of dithering and mind changing I decided on OEM dampers and H&R springs. I wanted to lower the car slightly and regain a comfortable but firm ride. In fact I was trying to recreate the ride that the car had when we bought it. Matters were brought to a head because I need to replace both cv joints. So, with 2 new cv joints, new oem dampers all round, H&R springs all round, 2 new oem front wishbones, 2 oem front bottom ball joints, 2 new oem rear bump stops, 2 oem new front suspension top mounts, new oem anti-roll bar rubbers and 4 wheel alignment the job was completed.
Result?
Brilliant. The ride is excellent, the juddering through the steering has gone and the car looks great! I am totally satisfied.
