Lude Generation

Laugh if you must but what is the difference between ordinary suspension and coilovers? My Lude does not have them but the Soarer's are factory fitted. I am not trying to wind anyone up but what is the advantage of these things. Bare in mind when I started driving independent front suspension was a selling point.

Keep it simple please

Lower centre of gravity.

Less roll so more grip.

Less 'bound' & 'rebound' so
more body control.

Looks better than oem

- Adjustable ride height/spring rate
- Adjustable damper force (stiffness)
- Sturdier construction

In a nutshell, they give you the ability to alter the vehicle's geometry to best suit it's characteristics, or your individual driving style.

No advantage to a pensioner

Front to rear spring and damper
rates should be more balanced.

Oem settings have a built in
understeer safety factor

Thankyou for the information I understand now. Oh and Tom If we ever meet up I shall insert my walking stick up your bottom!
