Hello, I'm new here... and while I like most aspects of my Twinair Lounge a lot, its ability to cope with poor road surfaces is not one of them. The standard dampers really aren't much use, and feel as if they are almost worn out even though the car has done just 12,000 miles. They feel like this from new in my experience of several Twinairs.
I don't want a taut rollerskate of a car, but I do want proper body and wheel control and the ability to soak up lumps and bumps without bangs and shudders.
The Bilstein B6 dampers sound as if they might be a good solution, retaining standard springs because I don't want the suspension any stiffer, just better controlled. Even Bilstein B4s, a direct replacement for the OE dampers (Cofap?) might make a small improvement, but if the B6s make a significant difference then they might be a better bet.
Has anyone on this forum tried B6s with standard springs? Is this the route to go? I'd love to know.
I haven't given this thead a 'tuning' prefix because making the ride as it ought to be from the factory isn't really tuning. Hope that's OK.
Many thanks
John
