Righty oh! My little Spitty is back on the road, and tomorrow she will be charging around the International Lorry Raceway, also known as the M25, once again. Now, I have been quite concerned recently

If they cut the springs like you said you are most likely hitting the bump stops. Bump stops are little pieces of rubber that are meant to absorb some of the shock when your suspension compresses to

I might be wrong about this, but I have a feeling that only America got the pumped-up, nose-in-the-air front suspension, because only they had the legislation that necessitated it. So, if your DPO c

Actually, cutting off a coil will stiffen the spring, not soften it. (Counterintuitive, but true according to my library.) Perhaps your bushes have perished? -- -- Douglas Frank DigitalWhoopsCompaqIm
