Volcane Suspension Vs Aura Suspension?
Hello People
I have a Aura TD and would like to know how much better is the volcane suspension to mine, would it be better to buy the shocks and springs for a volcane and fit them to my aura or would it be better to go and get a spax vsx Lower 35mm Suspensoin kit !!!?[8D]
I will be looking at replacing my rear brake drums to discs, i know i need a rear axel from a volcane but what else do i need?
if i uprate my suspension now and then change the rear axel will the new stiffer rear shocks fit the volcane axel or should i wait on the suspension upgrade untill after i change the rear axel?

If you buy a suspension kit the rear shocks will be shorter than even the Volcane ones, which means you need to lower the torsion bar (which is a pig to do).
When I fitted the GMax kit to mine my dads Aura Estate got my old front shocks and springs and he thought it was much firmer and cornered better, didnt feel as much like a boat. It was slightly lower, but not so much as you could really notice.

I think the flexable brake hoses are different for the Volcane discs to your drums, as for the rest of the pipework it should be the same, bias valve could be different but i'm sure someone here will know.
Order all 4 torsion bar mounts from GSF, and maybe some new discs and pads.
That should be all you need i think.

ok People,
so all i need to ask for when i phone up the scrapy is one Volcane Axel, the Flexable hoses, the Discs and cailpers. then order 4 new torsion ber mounts from GSF.
On the suspension side of things how much lower would a Spax VSX suspension kit (lower 35mm at the front and stiffens up the back) be compared to the standard volcane suspension. i only ask again cos money is a bit tight so i was thinking about getting the volcane suspension for time being !!!?

The only difference between your front suspension and the Volcane suspension is spring and damper rates and lengths, not too sure if the anti-roll bar is thicker on the Volcane but it should all fit together ok.
As i said in a eariler post my old Volcane front struts went straight onto my dads old Aura Estate without any problems and transformed the handling.
