My Suspenion is rooted, and Ive been looking at my options, firstly, I've been looking at spring chioces, namely Kings and Lovell's. Both seem to be simialry priced, has anyone used both brands by any chance, if so, did you notice a difference at all? I've read that by installing a lowered spring, and a shorter shock absorber, the spring rate is reduced, and therefore gives a firmer ride. Is it true that a stiffer spring, puts more force on the tyres, and can cause them to break traction sooner, if poorly set up?
i ask because i will be moving to Cairns in a couple of months time, and as many of you would know, it rains more often than not up there. Knowing how easily my car can lose it's composure as it is now when it rains, i'd like know that what i'm putting into it, isn't going to do more harm than good. Because if it is, i'd probably rather just replace my suspension components with factory spec items..
Lastly, if i was to re-compress a new factory spring, to say superlow height, do you think it would come out firmer, than an aftermarket spring of that height? Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice..
