Quick question for all here, what is the ride quality like on a V6 VN with King Superlows and KYB Excel-G's ?
(short story)
I had a stocker VN V6.
Shocks were blown, so I replaced front and rear with King Springs LOW and KYB Excel-G shocks (non short ones).
My strut tops were stuffed, so I needed to replace those and I wasnt happy with the ride height (35mm drop my-arse). The ride quality was rather sloppy. so I replaced the front and rear springs with King Springs Superlow.
and sold the King Low springs.
This restored the car to a reasonable height, however the ride quality is still pretty poor.
I bought shortened KYB-Excell G shocks for the rear, and I've noticed a significant improvement, as the rear is no where as sloppy.
alas the front is still sloppy and bouncy as hell.
QUESTION: Is matching King Superlow shocks with KYB shortened Excel-G's imperative?
Because i've been most disappointed with the ride quality as of yet.
And for the money blown during this ordeal, i could have bought quite decent suspension. Augh!
