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.

What kind of mods would these be ? Thanks

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

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.

Hi & welcome sounds like you have lots of things & toys to spend time on/with
