Suspension set up that is.

My S special is mega hard and crashy and yet leans like a drunk hobo on track. My old V special was on standard springs and dampers and drove like a dream, soaking up bumps and generally behaving more like the 5* mx5 I'd heard all about (despite leaning even more than the S special!)

What's the general preference?

Widely acknowledge the S-Spec Bilsteins are far too hard for everyday use on UK roads.

Speaking as somebody who's been using an S-Spec on standard Bilsteins everyday on UK roads for 4 years. My lower back is hurting as I think about it frown

Still waiting for somebody to suggest a reasonable (cheap!) alternative for a Mk.1.

I'm experiencing a good hard ride on my S-Spec as well. I'd be keen to find out how to get it to give me a more gentle, easy time.
