Its a case of how much are you willing to spend the zimmeride from RHSC are cheap and are adequate for road use but nothing special then you can go up from there these are on eBay at the moment don’t know what condition they are in but ask it may be a cheap way of getting a decent set. NTDWM by the way

[Guest chris]

I can recommend Gaz adjustable shocks,spring height and damper adjustable.Got them all round on my S7 and a huge improvement on the RH standard issue

regards chris

DOnt go for zimmerides,(sorry Chris but there cheap and INadequate) you will end up changing them very quickly.

 

I have Gaz units on my 2b and would recommend them all

 

Dont forget to ask them for a owners club discount

 

HTH

OK Mitch perhaps I should have said barely adequate for road use and must admit to looking at changing mine for Gaz ones when finances allow (us retired ones have to look after the pennies you know)

[Guest Battery Bill]

Well if you wait a couple of weeks we are changing our Zimerframes for Gaz and we will sell ours for peanuts.

[Guest chris brown]

we will sell ours for peanuts.

Ready salted or dry roasted?

Good point the later zimmerframes are not to be touched with a barge pole as the springs are much shorter and almost coilbound when standing static. At least the earlier ones gave an acceptable ride thro a bit on the soft side. But what do you expect they do have Rover (rear ones) on the lable.

[Guest Battery Bill]

Hey

later zimmerframes are not to be touched with a barge pole

Stop trying to put the poor bloke off

Nothing wrong with them

I recently changed my 'ZimmerFrames' for GAZ - £300 Front & Rear.

 

The bottom bush on each of the front Zimmers distorted after only 2000 miles.

 

Beware!!!!!

[Guest Battery Bill]

Carl

Like This ? (Thats after about 30 miles )

Did you have any problems with the changeover?

[Guest chris brown]

Mine has done about 12k daren’t even look at them until I get some replacements otherwise I may have to give up thrashing it around

So why change them????

[Guest kenton]

My front zimmers bottom out occasionaly, i had to screw the springs up to get the ride hight up to 6 1/2 ".

This has reduced the travel. Stronger springs have been sugested (350)s. After reading your comments im having second thoughts, a shopping trip at detling maybe?

What spring rating should i go for?

Bill/Chris just fit the lolocost poly bushes instead, they are cheap enough.

The Zeemers are looking pretty old and we have only been on the road proper 3 weeks. The springs on the fronts are rusting, the ally bodies are corroding, God knows what they will look like after a full winter

Anyway we want a less rigid set up without losing any ground clearance and speaking to Mr Gaz this morning this seems to be a good way forward.

 

Oh by the way Gaz do "Not" do discounts for RHOCAR mambers
