My business partner keeps grounding his 210 (the roads are dreadful near him) and it isn't doing anything any good. Is there some way to improve this like shims or changing springs or spring rates? It would be cheaper than changing to a shagged out old 4x4 (which is all he could afford).
 
He should get a diesel Transit. Brilliant things

They are. He'll still wreck it, so I'm trying to find the cheapest route to a wreck as the more he spends the less there is for his petrol to buy antiques!
 
Are you sure he hasn't snapped any springs?
 
Springs are fine. It is just very rutted and the Elegance has a lot of travel.
 
Cheapest way is the brake... He's going too fast if he's doing that sort of damage....
 
The springs and dampers will be worn and replacement will fix this issue.
