I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I want to increase the comfort of my Suzuki Escudo, model 1991, Long chasis. It has 205/14 tyre sizes and new Monroe shock absorbers. I do a lot of town running and rarelly off-raod. I wanted to increase its comfort a litle. So are there some special springs or shocks I can use to increase the comfort. I know Zuki's are not all that comfortable but I want to raise the comfort a bit.

An easy thing to do is air pressure in your tires. Most people fill their tires to the 32-35 psi reccomended on the tire instead of the approximate 25 psi reccomended for the vehicle weight. I'm not sure what the pressure for the LWB is, but it should be listed in the owners manual of on the trag in the door frame.

Old Man Emu struts for the front should also help out on ride quality.

Yes, the tyre pressure reduction helped me a lot. I used to put 35psi =, but through this site, I was advised to put 20psi. When I checked with the manual, I found the recommended was 24psi, but I am putting 28psi. I find 24psi too little.

Tires are major... so if it's nearly time to swap out, go for high quality. (Granted, they'll probably rot before you wear 'em out.)

Tires made for touring coupes seem to do best. Bridgestone Turanza's made a huge difference in handling and ride.

You'll be perfectly safe at 24lbs, with stock tire sizes. These trucklets are about half the weight of the minivans this tire size was designed for.
