i hate it when ever i leave work there is one road with a terrible surface and i see it coming and try not to let it happen so now i just clutch it/change gears over it or take it off throttle, this is a section of the road not the entire road fyi 8)

You just answered your own comment there, your aristo (read barge) is so bloody heavy it NEEDS stiff suspension to eliminate all the commodore like bodyroll.

As for the lurching, what sort of clutch do you have? How much play do you have with your release point etc? Might just want to give it a few move revs before you engage the clutch. Your suspension doesn't have anything to do with how you're using the clutch :P

Actually, standard suspension is quite soft, i have Tanabe Sustec coilovers in there, they are stiff, the only reason why they roll so much from the factory is the standard(on some) Air Suspension cant control roll too well around corners, the other standard(coil type suspension) cant control it because its not stiff enough, aristos arent supposed to go around corners like they are on rails, they are a luxury car!! just so happens to have either a 1uz-fe mated to a 4wd system, or a 2jz!!

hehe yeah, I neglected to mention they were actually a luxury car in japan :happy: Theres a dude rollin one with custom plates (can't think what they were at the moment) running about 500hp. Youngish guy, managed 420rwhp at a toyota dyno day last year down at In Tune Performance. 2jz's are hax...

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
