Hi Folks,
I am new here so hello. I am thinking of buying my wife's work FR which has 85K miles on it. It has standard tyres and fittings etc on it. It is a great car to drive and very responsive. However I do not find the ride very relaxing which is hardly surprising since it is a sports car. I currently drive a MK 4 GT TDI golf with 164K miles on it and it is very relaxing, but getting a bit high on mileage. I guess the FR is the spaniel and the Golf a labrador..!!!
So is there anything straight forward and practical that can be done to signifantly soften the ride on the FR? Ie not planning on a new suspension etc.... My current ideas are:
a) Tyres
b) New Shocks although I think these should be OK since the car is regularly serviced since it is a business car.
Thanks for any help...
