Hi,

Just got my 450 back after a body off chassis restoration. The car has Gaz gold shocks and the ride is fairly harsh and choppy over less than perfect roads. Have slacked off the shocks a few click but can’t seem to find a setting between harsh and floaty. I think the car rode much better on standard shocks. Nitrons too expensive and wondering if Bilstein Tuscan S is the best way forward. I’m not going to track the car or drive it very hard. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Also is it still possible to buy a standard exhaust? Mine has been sleeved not very well.

Thanks

I had Nitrons fitted during my renovation. They were set far too low and far too stiff. I asked Track V Road to do a full geo setup and it transformed the car. Also, I'm running 16"s all round, I'm sure the tyre wall helps too.

I have a std exhaust for sale in good condition. Collection only due to the size.

Most go for the Bilsteins to be honest, fit and forget.

Nitrons transformed my Tuscan Convertible (replacing Bilsteins setup by Ben at the factory) and has now done the same with my Chim (also previously on Billies) ... properly setup by experts and a nice piece of engineering to boot., but not for those with dirty chassis .
