Has anyone used or are using spring assistors it there tow car.
I have a piccaso which rides very low when towing, i load the van correctly as it should be but van is still very nose down and only gives a few inches clearance off the road.
We used MAD springs on two Ford Mondeos some years ago when we had a tin tent. We found they did make a difference and would use them again - don't need them with our current outfit.
We used to own a Picasso and fitted greyson engineering supplemental springs. the ride was much better and the back end was at the right height once the van was attached.
Mad - yes, very good - when my S-I-L's hubby sold his early Mondy, he gave me his MAD assisters & I fitted them to our (then) Cavalier. Did what they said on the tin. Years before, on our old Renault 20TS deffo needed some assistance even with the light old Musketeer. So got hold of a compressor from a warranty claim in the Volvo garage I was at (the claim was for the faulty air-adjustable shocks in a kit) - I also got all the piping and control thingy with the electric button to raise & button to lower. Connected it all up to a pair of Auto-Ballans - brilliant, plonk the 'van on, pump up until level, stable towing. The Bee-em we had didn't need anything; the Focus I had didn't tow a caravan but I did use it to pick up a Rover V8 engine & two auto boxes from Preston; I had the Grayston assisters and they were brill. The same ones were removed & fitted to the Rover 45 and kept that nice & level with the Whirlwind on.
The Saab doesn't seem to need any, though the Graystons are the same spec for it!
So some cars do, some cars don't...
hi we used to tow our 470/4 with a w reg xara estate which was very soft on the rear suspension i fitted some spring assistors and it really made a big difference , we now tow with a c5 estate the self levelling suspension is really good when hitched up the car and caravan sit perfectly
