Will definitely be posting topics and pics shortly thanks will be looking forward to getting my super back on the road been 17 years ! Has urs got hydrolastic suspension still ? How do you find it ?

Hi Rhys. Welcome on board.
Hydro suspension, when set up correctly works very well. There are some simple mods that can be done which makes the system even better.

[rhys-89]

What kind of mods would these be ? Thanks

[InimiaD]

Larger bump stops front and rear and standard shocks fitted to the front only.
Makes a world of difference.

[dhenry]

Yes, I made these mods and it works very well. I will be changing to dry fairly soon as mine will be a race car so I may have those bits going spare with very few miles on them.
