I have a 97 D1 300tdi, it came to me with raised springs/dampers (Terrafirma +4" I think), and tired suspension bushes. The ride quality is pretty bad, harsh and crashing. It's fitted with 235/70R16 tyres.
It's mainly used on road, although sometimes loaded heavily, but generally not.
My plan is to replace the suspension bushes, fit 205/80R16 tyres (for less unsprung weight, and maybe minor MPG improvement), and return to standard height, or maybe just a little higher.
I'd like to get a softer, floaty ride, but really struggling to understand what springs/shocks will give me this.
Has anyone here any recommendations on springs/shocks, or generally improving the ride?
Thanks
