Suspension upgrade for my 01 imp L.
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 1:31 pm
I bought the good old GR2s and some springs from an 01 RS imp. I originally just wanted to lower the front a little and didn't intend to use the rears. They're so easy to swap, I figured I'd try the RS springs in the rear to see what would happen. Can't say I remember anyone trying the set up.
It lowered the front a little more than the rear, leveled it out nicely.
It handles like a dream now. The shape of the road is all I feel, without it being too stiff that it's uncomfortable.
Here's before.
Here's after. (and after a romp on some gravel roads and half way thru a 140 mile round trip on the highway to feel it out some.)
