Berlinetta springing

[gouldalan]

Hi Folks. My recently purchased Berlinetta seems to be a very hard ride. It's a cortina based one and am wondering if it is possible to fit longer softer springs to improve comfort levels. Any ideas welcomed, Cheers, Alan.

this subject is well documented in the archives . Briefly, the problem exists due to the springs being cut down in length to get the required ride height which increases the poundage hence harder ride. Burton power use to do Cortina springs in standard, minus 1 and minus 2 inch lengths - maybe they still do. Search facility is your friend !

I've had specialist springs made for my in the past by SpringCoil in Sheffield; not for my Berli though, which has the original setup from the guy who built the car; I've added a couple of doughnut spacers to raise the ride height a bit.
