SILVER Star
My one-owner HJ61 from Spain is at the uphoulstery shop right now to have the seats sewn with a fun Scottish tartan wool. Then it heads on a ship for America!
The suspension is, as far as I can tell, original and quite tired. With a new interior, fresh paint job, and full dealer mechanical service I need to bring the suspension up to standard. My priority is on-road ride comfort, as the roads where I live are quite rough.
I'm currently leaning towards a Dobinsons suspension kit and Michelin Defender 31" tires. I was eyeing 33" tires but with the 3.70 gearing I worry 5th gear on the H55 will be too tall. My '07 LX has 33" BFGs so I'm familiar with how they drive. I'm also considering sticking with stock springs and Bilstein shocks, as my priority is ride quality not a lift.
Would love to hear any thoughts, opinions, or experiences
