That's an easy one. Stock springs and dampers with 15" RA's and 185-55 tyres. It's the only way.  :cool:

Any suspension tyre combo will be comfortable whilst its stuck in the garage being treated like a Ferrari.

My MOT is up next month, ive done 450 mile since last year, which according to this thread is quite alot actually ... took it out today first time since the rear end overhaul and front suspension, and it had a funny knocking noise, fixed that when i realised some of the wheel bolts weren't completely tight  :whistle:
