Re: Grande 120 Suspension Upgrade
Ike
I had i done in SA by a group that do the "Darren- autocraft" method. The ride is permanently firm as the only functionality you lose is the "ride comfort setting". The firmness is different to the firm setting and in my layman terms is because of the shocks and springs. BTW you will get used it within hours and frankly it is a much better feel than pre upgrade.
I am not sure of the cost using Darren direct and it would be unfair for me to state what I paid as I am dealing with an agent here rather than direct to Darren. That said, I think the price I paid was fair. Budget a few grand and your safe give or take a few dollars.
I have a video thread if you want some comfort on the "popping" airbags, just scroll through the previous page. My profile pic shows the rig on 3 tyres and all air bags staying in place.
The upgrade gives close to a 2 inch ride and preserves your ability to raise (a lot) and lower the back end. They use bilstein shocks all round, easy rider springs on the front, and weld the air bags to prevent "pop out of the bags. I short, its the closest thing to a 2 inch lift for a Grande and I am happy with the result.
In summary, do it!
