My car seems quite nervy at speeds above 80.

Not sure if Joolz can answer this one but apparently I have adjustable suspension (It's the silver Cerbera that James Agger brought to you before he went on holiday)...

Any ideas?

it has avos, but can't remember what springs, i think they were std rate in which case running it stiffer and lower would help. i can't remeber it being nervous though wen i drove it ..

Hi Joolz

Did you happen to note what mine had?
Seems to handle very well and has a lot softer ride
than the '96?


Clutch is so sweet on the car - thanks for that.

( Sorry to hijack the thread Steven! )

It was quite a rough road and yes I think stiffer springs would come in useful

How much for a set then?

Also any idea on this knocking exhaust?

Joolz fitted avo's to mine, initially very boucy at speed but got him to stiffen them up. Works like magic now. Now if only it was that easy for other problems.....

Oops, sorry, I was sure the title of this thread was something to do with high speed.
