Well, I finally got the
suspension finished on the Terracan. Rick at TJM, Dandenong fitted XGS springs and shockers a bit over a week ago. He then sent me off to drive it around for at least 500 km to allow the rear springs to settle before he adjusted the torsion bars. I now have 45mm lift at the rear and 40mm at the front as measured by me.
Handling is vastly improved. Where it would wallow around corners before, it now sits flat and firm. It used to porpoise over speed humps taken at very modest speeds, but now that is gone.
All up $900, bloody good value.
Now it's time to test it out.
Who fancies Gembrook this Saturday?
9.00 am at the Puffing Billy Station. If you've missed the last few, don't miss this one.

Sounds good, maybe have a bit of lunch and a yarn. Differing
views make for good conversation LOL.
That is if I can get a group together, they're a bit slow this time.
