    Default Harsh Ride

    Hello my ride is a 2003 Vy Monaro.The car rides really bumpy and harsh.I have recently fitted 19"GTS Rims and Pedders Springs.I reckon the car is still almost at standard height.Any ideas on springs shocks and maybe struts to smooth the ride.

    what kind of bumpy?
    what speed are you traveling?
    could be tight suspension/shocks
    or if its a vibration feeling, it could be your rims are buckled slightly

    19's with sports suspension dont usually equal a nice ride...dunno though.
    Need some parts for my VH 253:
    Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
    Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
    PM with any info.

    they dont usauly, because you get less cusion out of the tyre, due to the very low profile, thats why i like having medium profile tyres on my car.

    When you improve handling it comes at the expense of ride quality simple as that. My old VP GTS was magnificent to drive as it handled like a go-cart but you also felt every bump in the road like a go-cart too. Compare that to my friends VP Calais that handles not nearly as well but the ride is a ton smoother as well.
