I am the proud owner of a live axled seven. This week end, I friend was kind enough to let me loose with his di-dion HPC (thanks Mike). The difference was more than just 'ride quality'. If I had been able to get my Xflow up to the speeds we reached in the HPC, I don't think I would have been able to keep my car on the road! Compared to my car, it just absorbed bumps that would have sent me ditchwards.
Does this mean that my car needs some sorting? To be fair I guess the springs and damps are the original 10 year old items.
