Just a question but whats the price for factory springs and dampers?At the moment the cars on Red Line springs and dampers,but with London Roads the ride at times can be bone jarring to say the least,especialy speed bumps.Was thinking about returning them to standard.

I have a set in the workshop, I used them while my shocks were being rebuilt and they are fine. They are not Nitron but they do the job. I will put them on ebay one of these days.

I had mine replaced by my local garage about 2 years ago and had the standard suspension put on. By the time they had bought the kit from HHC, manufactured new spring compressors because the springs are so narrow, and done the job, it cost just over £1000.

Unfortunately, I found this out after the work had been done so I wish that I had either taken it to HHC or gone for an upgrade with Joolz, either option would have resulted in approx the same cost!

You live and learn, I hope you learn from my mistake.

Think if I had Redlines I would consider other options as well.....
Maybe Protech, Nitrons, AVOs, Gaz etc - all better value than the standard stuff.

Arent they going to give me the same ride as the redlines? The set up i have is ok for the track but no good at all for the london roads.
