Need to replace my tyres on standard tear drop wheel's. Does anyone have any brand recommendations? Wet weather performance no too important as I isn't driven in the wet. Currently using Dunlop sp sports which have been fine but doubt they are still around.

Thanks
Tom

Have tried there they seem to have nothing listed for shocks or springs these days

cheers yeh I did notice that the springs listed there on that ebay link do state they are KYB will look into that

Thanks

Hi I am trying to rebuild my suspension to stock, done the lowered adjustable koni route and frankly the car just isn't the same. Low speed and poor surface road ride quality is bad and their either too hard or just bouncy and floaty. Plus it's now too low to park on my sloped drive. I am aware it's...

thats useful comparison jayelem glad somebodys with me on the standard was actually a good balance for todays roads. Its just a shame theres so few sources for standard suspension components these days.

Earlier tried to change the adjustable koni settings and noticed that the left front wont turn more that 3/4 of a turn compared to rights 2.5 turns seems to just stop there like its at the end. Been on about a year and was turning fine up till now. Do they seize up? and is worth trying to use someth...

thanks for everyones help/suggestions. I guess having had the car for over ten years ive got used to what I like about it and felt Mr T got a good balance to start with. Think will look at keeping the poly bushes in places where it helps like roll bars etc and look to swap the others back to standar...

Maybe its just me and it has tightened everthing up but on todays crumbling roads crashing and jiggling about over stuff so your driving to avoid things is not really my bag. Perhaps its a combination of the lowered springs or just the bush type but its left me wanting to put it back as it was.

hi thanks for the comparison, yeh did have alignment done after, starting to think its the harshness of the bushes i dont like, heard some people suggesting only polybushing certain areas such as roll bars etc

Last year I bit the bullet and replaced all the suspension with a koni adjustable damper/spring kit, replaced the all bushes with a full super pro kit, changed drop links and ball joints alround. Ideally I would have liked to have kept the standard suspension but as nothing seems to be available I t...

As it seems timely on his return to the forum I just wanted to post some comments about some work that Tony recently carried out for me with on my car. I know hes well known here and for some years ive been meaning to get in touch with him. Recently I decided to put his experience to the test to try...

Hi I am getting the two red dash lights (electrical warning light and the battery discharge light) but only when the car is revved hard about the point when the tvis comes in (its like a slap on the wrist). Doesn't happen at any other point and usually if back off the power goes out after bout a min...

I have some surface rust on mine too which isnt as bad but be interested to know from others who have done it the best way of treating it

just to confirm do the roadster nuts fit the original teardrop alloys and hub then and with the only difference being that they are shorter?

Cheers
Tom

Currently having my wheels (teardrops) refurbished the original nuts are a bit tatty and rusty and think will probably let the wheels down a bit. Are new wheel nuts available anywhere are there also any other options for standard alloys as always felt the original nuts stick out a bit far

Cheers
Tom

thanks all, yeh just seems a shame there doesnt seem to be any options to just keep the car as standard as dont want to lower the car either just would like to replace the parts that are worn out with a suitable replacement. Take it there are no sources to get original suspension parts now or spring...

as soon as the front stock shocks were swapped for the kybs ride was noticably harder/crashy and bouncy. Think they are generally known for being harsh on road but really dont like them. I live in a bad area for roads and potholes so ideally like to keep the ride quality as it was. If there are no o...

Hi bar the shock/springs could anyone recommend the best parts to replace while doing the suspension (now at 120k on original parts), ball joints, drop links etc? is TCB a good source for these items.

Thanks
Tom

Hi I am looking to replace my tired suspension this year I have replaced the stock fronts with some kybs after an MOT failure, frankly hate the ride now and would like to get rid of them. Id like to go back as close to standard without going the koni route if poss. Can anyone recommend some thing cl...

thanks for you help will look into the ultimax pads
