 |
|
| Hey everybodys =) I have a TG with lowered springs and new munrow shocks... My problem is that the suspention is way too hard. Is there anyway around this probley besides getting adjustable shocks or springs with more coils??? Anyone else here have this problem because I'm worried about the long term effects like ball joint wear and maybe cracking |

well ball joints are cheep to replace and are worth the handling
if you want a softer ride get some stock springs put back in and keep the decent shockers and it will be alright |

| I would try changing the shocks first because it is cheaper. But you could also try getting the springs changed (cant think of the right word), if you do this you can also get the ride height changed at the same time. |

| dont forget your running some big rims there too if you want to soften the ride put the rubber bushes back in that will soften it up |

| Yeah well I don't mind the hard suspention it's just this bit of road that I have to drive on everyday and it piss's me off... I'll go wack my locker in and melt the road and maybe the government will fix it =) |
