Some nice new wheels... mostly not on the car |

The new suspension is a tad soft but does the job |
Now to the suspension. After hunting around and sending about 100 emails to one well-known supplier and getting no response, I ended up with a much cheaper option on the suspension. Jamex springs and struts are great value and do the job. They are fully adjustable and a snip at just under £300. They’re a little soft but that’s nice in such a large car. They were not too difficult to fit either. The car, as you can see, just sits right; the tyres may be a bit wider than I imagined, but they work well. PS
