Hi all, haven't posted for quite a while.
bit of a ramble here.....
Fitted a set of parabolics to the '56 S1, after deciding that 46 years of
hard use is enough for the originals.
Ride quality is a lot firmer than the advertising led me to expect, (coil
spring ride??) these springs seem about equal to standard springs well
greased, I think I was expecting a softer ride than I am getting.
The springs are TI Console, load level 'A', that means 2 leaf fronts and 2
leaf rears, fitted to a SWB hardtop petrol. (100Kg of tools in the back).
I am continuing to use the Bilstein dampers (direct replacements for the OE
Monroes). Thought that might be the problem, although the Bilsteins are not
a hard damper, so I refitted the used originals to see if there was a
difference. No difference, still a fairly sharp reaction to bumps,
especially at the front.
The S1 is a bit lighter than a S2 at the front, but not much.
Anyone else had any experiences with parabolics?
Cheers,
Terry
