Ok call me a old fooker but now im used to the comforts of newer cars, i find the jamex suspension lwered 20mm rather harsh. I wont be tracking the car, so do i REALLY need sports suspension? Its my everyday driver so id like a tad of comfort!!!

Anyone been in a standard RST suspensioned car? Is it comfy? And, would it look too high even with 17's on?

Yes, it would look too high IMO. There really isn't any way to make it any more comfortable. There may be a spring/damper combination that will be slightly better, but I reckon the difference will be negligable.

The only way to make it more comfortable is to install Airbag suspension, but thats going MILES to far for what you want I reckon.

Best to sell the S2 and buy a Mondeo.

LOL cheers mate. I had my old s2 rather low on gas damper(forget make) and it was about the same as this....buy i was used to it and didnt care! Now ive been used to having power steering, comfy suspesion etc etc im a little bone shaken!!! PMSL

Nevermind, ill stick with it. Wheres the yellow pages......Chiropractor

It's impossible to get an S2 to ride smoothly. Best try lowered, but not progressively wound springs, and Monroe Gas dampers. Won't handle too well, but it'll take the bumps a bit better!

hi mate

just took standards off mine and put some -30 on there will let ya know the difference

did look like the 126 from dudley to brum before tho

Lee Reynolds

u decided on 90 speccing yet stu?

Stu.H

nope not yet mate, still wanting to get it thru mot.

warleydaddy and tony.c came round yesterday to change springs and was hoping to get it all sorted for today with the bit of welding that needs doing. but wasw already fookin 9:30pm and started to rain AND ive gotta take a couple of rivets out the kit.

and today, its bloody peeing it down

it was my last day for the free re-test as well

Lee Reynolds

Aye pssing it down here ive fooked work off. Thing is, its pissing it down, i have all windows open, and sweat is runing down me its fooking boiling

LOL it does look propper high in your sig!

as regards to 'sports susp' its gonna be very dificult to get a smooth ride in an RST they really are just rattly.. esp when lowered with Koni/spax/whatever.
You could just lower it using new standard suspension.. my mate did this about 6 months ago.. it certainly isnt anywhere near as bumpy as mine.. but it is a LOT more whallowy round corners (it looks like hes 'floating' round!)

koni's on my s2 with -40mm Pi Springs was absolutely awesome, granted it was caged and bushed, but i left the koni's on completely soft, and it was the best s2 for smoothness and handling i've been in.

Granted i didnt through it round the track to find out how well it would fair on there, but as you say its not going on the track.

Granted it was firmer than standard, but no wear near harsh.

I've got an idea for you anyway, why don't you just add a bit more cushioning to your booster seat............should sort it out a treat PLUS people will actually think your normal size! or near enough

LOL
