Have had my R for a few weeks now, and having sorted the binding handbrakes shoes that kept it immobile for a while have now had chance to get to know the car a bit better.
Have to say I was not overly impressed with the ride or handling, had basically dismissed the 4C as cack and yearned for some regular shocks. Well on checking tyre pressures last night they were all down to mid 20s; pumping them up to the right specs, well wow, the magic carpet "comfort" ride is back (not that I ever had it), no more shimmying on rough roads, can't wait to try it out in sport
Being a tyre geek already I know the importance of decent boots and the right pressures on any car, but the difference to an electronic damping setup seems to be multiplied many times over. Just shows you have to check the basics out before jumping to conclusions. I'm off on a half day now to have some fun with it!
