Poor percy has very tired suspension and is in dire need of a new set of of springs, shocks and bushes. He will be getting poly-bushes, regardless of which set-up we go with.
Last weekend we competed in our club RTV trials and found that we were scraping the chassis on just about every bump and divot!!! On a couple of sections we incurred penalties because we grounded out and couldn't continue. My question though is this:
What are the on-road handling implications of using a 1.5-2inch lift kit or a set of standard height heavy duty springs, and will it make enough of a difference to performance to consider not using these, as percy is my daily transport as well as my weekend play pal?!?
All input gratefully recieved, especially from anyone who has carried out either mod and has on and off road driving experience there-of!!!
Thanks,
Chris
