Got a mk1 1.2 merit, evrything standard except i put 14" gsi 3-spokes on it. they're wearing 185/60 tyres (so not too low-profile) & pressures are fine.

The ride is pretty harsh over poor road surfaces. not so bad at motorways, but uneven urban roads can be really rough & sometimes makes the cd player skip :?

has anyone had similar symptoms that can be fixed in the suspension department, ie. is it the shocks, ball-joints or rubber bushes? had some cav gsi 15s on it for a while which i'm sure could've worn something- question is what??? :roll:

any suggestions welcome, cheers
