- 02 VXII Berlina 3.8
Hi
My VXII Berlina is really getting on my nerves. The ride is so rough and harsh I feel every little imperfection and I don't want to because I've got some health issues. The car is stock in every respect, the shocks were replaced about 3 years ago and they are monroe gas shocks front and rear, tyres are michelin XM1s in bog standard size and are approaching 12 months old.
Question is, how can I improve the ride? New shocks? New tyres? Both? I'm hearing that gas shocks are always firmer than oil but don't know if this is true for 'all' gas shocks...
I'm not looking to change ride height at all, just really want to get a more comfortable ride.
Any suggestions?
Thanks heaps
Pete
