VXR8 suspension questions

[Demon Hill]

Vehicle - LS2 VXR8, mileage, 31,000

I've had the car nearly two years now, and put up with the bang crash wallop suspension, the car seems to bounce over underlations on the road, rather than ride over them, I used to think German cars were hard on the suspension, but this seems worse, and before you all think I'm getting old....I am.

Is there anything that can be done to change the suspension without compromising handling ?

I've had a look at the Monkfish website and there were a couple of set-ups on there, one was a Pedders suspension kit, and the other one was a coilover suspension kit, both very similar in price.

How do these differ from the standard set-up ?

How do these differ from each other ? one appeared to offer top mounts and therefore seemed better value for money

Any comments appreciated

We prefer good, compliant suspension. After chatting with Monkfish, we settled on keeping the standard springs (I'm not a fan of the coilover vogue) with replacement Pedders dampers (it has been reported that the originals are a budget item), and then just an uprated rear anti-roll bar (to just sharpen the handling a little).

My ultimate dream was to get the car on 18" wheels for a slightly taller sidewall, but I never found anything to fit over the standard front calipers.

I've had the supercar kit fitted to mine and it transformed the car! Compliant yet secure handling. Stock is a bit unbalanced IMHO.
Choice of tyres also helps, MPSS also transform the handling and seem to suit these cars well. Cheaper tyres may add to the crashy feeling.

Thanks for the replies so far, has anyone got a view ?

Full pedders on mine and feels really nice but then again never driven one with standard suspension, changed to pedders on my old Monaro and it transformed the car, was well worth £1200 at the time.
