Hi All
Having just joined and have been considering moving onto a more comfortable option, I have decided to keep my Coupe a little longer.
I have a 52 Plate Gen 3 v6. Red 62k. TSW 19" alloys 235/35/19 Tyres.
I have owned for 2 years, prior it had been lowered (Eibach?) rear anti sway bars, Ripspeed air intake, AIF Chip and other mods.
Pro's; Superb handling, fast, looks superb!
Cons; very poor ride, thirsty (20mpg at best)
With a bad back the ride is not good
But after seeing some of the comments posted I will look into the suspension and tuning.
Switching back to 205/55/16" Alloys and tyres should help the ride quality and improve economy due to lighter wheel diameter, any comments?
Possibly putting standard springs back on, so if anyone has any and wants to swap for some lowered ones, let me know!!!
Any suggestions on how to go about improving economy, (apart from the usual stuff like tyres pressures and a good service
)
Do you guys know of any ECU chips or tuning devices that will allow me to switch between performance or economy? what about the APEXI Neo?
Looking forward to keepin' in touch........
