How many 360's with Air Con?

Post by **Chris_C** » 04 May 2005 01:14 am

Not too often I don't think, and yeah, FWD. Not keen myself, though driven worse

Feels all a bit 'unconnected' on the front wheels, worse than mums mondeo.

AC is fairly common on 400s.

tbh, they may be fwd but they do handle a LOT better than 300s - they are much lower to the ground with nicer, tighter suspension..

A friend has a bilstein lowering kit on his, and it handles very nicely...although the uncompromising ride makes me feel travel sick!

I think a 300 has the better chassis, but a much softer suspension setup. Shame really, as most people (and I don't mean any one here!) can't see the difference between 'soft suspension setup' and 'rubbish chassis'. Take Griz's 940 as a perfect example. Let's have a rematch when we've sourced some serious shocks & springs

They really are stiff. Soft springs are an issue, the front air dam has so much ripped off it from heavy cornering/braking

Jeez man, that ain't normal! I've got the GLT lip spolier too, and I've only given it a little scratch when landing after getting air off a hump-back bridge! I think you've got some tired suspension components there...either that or the older ones have even softer suspension?!

remember that mk2 had a different lip spoiler from mk3

I've never seen a lip spoiler on any mk2 GLTs

I meant my car is lower at the front, so all other things being equal would scrape sooner

cheers

I'll have to get some photos, its even got dents from reaaaally hard braking! With the piston slap, rust, crap body work and generally shagged parts I will have to retire it this summer!

there is another 360 for sale in london, with a buggered torque tube. you could use your car as a doner..

Make sure you don't scrap it

cheers
