General Panda Springs

[smokeme]

You got any pics of how it stands lowered, 40mm is quite a drop for a Panda!

 

[DevilRoad]

Not yet...but soon i´ll have some pics to show, but the ground clearence is quite aceptable (comparing to a saxo cup "de origem" now its the same height in both)

 

[smokeme]

btw the difference for the leght of the shocks is to compensate for the heaviar Y10.

smart thinking batman

Not so much a panda, more of a grizzaly bear. GRRRR

 

[smokeme]

Some people might actually think there are different mounting when they are the same just different lenght and spring rate(stiffness)!!!!

i know everyone's into lowering, but how easy is it to raise the back suspension just a little bit (i believe the 4x4's have a raised back as standard?)

Because every fox needs one!

 

[DevilRoad]

Behind the 4x4 is not an omega axle...the system is completely diferent

 

[smokeme]

The 4x4 uses a different suspension system, it uses leaf springs much like older pandas and marbellas. You could get longer coils and shocks and get the same result, maybe use front springs and shocks on back as they are a bit longer.

 

[Jaff_Fox]

hmmmm... maybe i'll stick longer springs and shocks in them.. 4x4's use wishbone suspension [:0] gosh! *giggles*

Because every fox needs one!

 

[pandafan]

Please don't 'giggle' my friend. I love this suspension system as it is very predictable and you can really push it to it's limits.... long live the cart spring.
P.S. I bet you can't get your suspension repaired by a local blacksmith for twopence and a pint of best !

HHmmmmmmm

 

[smokeme]

I also bet my wheels don´t bounce off the ground when someone tries to shake the carhappened to a friends 4x4

 

[Jaff_Fox]

I'm not laughing because i think its inferior.. just whenever i think of those suspensions i think of a pram .. you can always poke fun back at my 2x4 not having a servo [V]

Because every fox needs one!

 

[smokeme]

2x4, LOL i get it. You can always intall a servo but it won´t brake any better just the effort required is reduced.

 

[pandafan]

Ah c'mon Jaff....not having a servo makes driving much more interesting !
I've been driving for 35+ years and have only ever had two cars with servo's, never seen an air-bag or experienced any other accessory that is called by its initials..

Prior to my Panda experiences, my favourite vehicle was my Land-Rover IIa Safari LWB...now those wer SERIOUS pram springs.....front and back.....turning circle the size of Uranus. Huge.[)]

HHmmmmmmm
