Some labour, a machine polisher and some cutting compound and that's all it takes!

...after half my clearcoat has been re-applied! Half of it on the roof and some of it on the bonnet are missing.

...The Skoda is nicely shiny though, does that count?

So what was the verdict Tim, were the comfort sphere good or too floaty?

Best I found on my pevious Xantia was CX GTi fronts on the front of the Xantia.

CX GTi fronts are 500cc, 75bar and 1.6 damper center hole. They were truly excellent on my old 1.9 TD. Had the 1.9D/ 1.6i rears on it too

The GTi ones are good because they are soft but the damper is slightly stiffer stopping them from being out of control soft.

Worth a thought!

I have tried those, but my Xantia felt like a boat, causing me headaches with too much rocking motion.

Any reviews for the comfort spheres?
