GTV

Upgrade GTV suspension

Hi all,

Just found this site - looks great!!!

I have owned a 3.0L GTV with 18000 miles on the clock since 2001, never had the opportunity to use it much (not the best family car) but am getting it ready for regular use again now.

One of the things I would love to do is to improve the handling as I find it a little soft and wallowy. It would be great to hear from anyone who has had a play with roll bars, adjustable shocks etc. be great to benefit from your experience!!!

Cheers

Julian

Re: Upgrade GTV suspension

Julian - if your GTV feels soft and wallowy I would first check that the tyres are inflated correctly, and then check the bushes etc. |Even in standard form the suspension of the GTV is quite hard.
