Suspension

[Gemini]

Me again - Yes I'm after alot of information but thats because I've found a good un' so I will be treating it to a few subtle upgrades, after all the cars are showing their age so upgrading the brakes/suspension to me is sensible. So I'm looking for people who have had aftermarket suspension kits fitted and some feedback on good and bad points.

Thanks again

This is probably not a good answer to your question as I think you mean that you want upgrades not replacements. If you do just want new components to replace your tired old ones you can get original Rover parts from the chap at Ledbury. £150 (same price as most garages charge for a brake disc and pads job) got me the following:

- 2 x Rear suspension damper and spring assemply
- 2 x Front suspension damper and spring assemply
- 2 x driveshafts complete with new wheel bearings, brake discs and calipers (some come with pads - luck of the draw!) and CV boots all already assembled
- All the suspension bushes and bolts that I needed.

Took about 7 hours to whack it all on (pictures coming very soon!) and the ride is now sharp and smooth and cornering excellent. Added bonus for me is that I now have the more durable one piece wheel bearings instead of the notoriously weak Mark 1 two piece ones.
