Sorry, the car's in storage for another month or two, but see Craig's post above.

Incidentally, the ride with the M033s/FSDs is no harsher than the ride with worn Monroes and standard North American springs.

Hope this helps.

Anyone worked with a shock engineer to revalve them appropriately? Look how well our absurdly stiffly spring cars with Moton/JRZ/Ohlins/etc. work. Has to be someone in England who does it. Over here it's less than $500/car.

Thanks Rinty.
That's the first definitive answer I've had on the subject- and the one I wanted to hear!

It may be my lead ***, but I couldn't tell that the stock Monroes were worn, except that the car would hobby horse on an undulating surface. They had 50,000 miles on them.

Now unless I misunderstood you, if you have M033s in your car now, the ride height will not change with the FSDs; they have minimal adjustment for corner balancing.

Also, I understand the stock North American spring is linear, as is the M033, and which is one of the reasons I picked it for a replacement spring.
