    Default VS Statesman IRS comfortable rear springs

    Hi everyone,

    I just had my rear suspension replaced on my statesman, i think it was pretty much original gear.

    I have noticed that the Lovell HRS-66 and the KYB shocks that have been put in are quite a firm ride, and far from the comfort I would prefer. Its still the same standard height, which I am happy with.

    Does anyone know where I can get springs that are progressive rate for the rear in IRS, the suspension mob told me they dont do them.

    There has to be a way to make the ride nice and comfortable again.

    Cheers

    yeah would have thought the same, but the guy reckons it needs these KYB short throw shocks to keep the springs captive, and that it's the springs that are causing the stiff ride.

    so what would be the cushiest shock i should put in there to get it back to ride nice and plush again?
