Whilst I love my 7. I do feel the ride quality could be improved without upsetting the rest of the cars dynamics.

I am speaking to Simon at Meteor today to see what his suggestions are, but I wondered what others have tried/considered and why ?

Personally, I feel the car should be able to ride the bumps better than mine currently does, and I dont really have enough experience in 7s to know if thats how they are ?

My impressions are that it feels either poorly or over damped, it feels like it crashes over bumps, or bounces around on the top of them.

Simons recommendation for my use was Core1 with digressive fronts and progressive rear springs….

Supply , fit and flat floor £3k

Friend has a 140 SV with this setup and says it’s a big step forward in all respects….

Do the Core 1 shocks require an annual refresh? I would refub the standard bilsteins .
2 years is the recomendation
