82 Spheres with less damping?
Suspension
Is this really all about? A simple hole? Not even several layers of metal-plates with some magic
arrangements? Did really nothing happen in the past 40 years?
Hmm... I'm a little bit disappointed...
Enlarging from 0.5mm to 0.7mm gives essentially half the original damping, which I think is really
"challenging".
Do you have any experiences with +0.1mm ?
This would lower the damping for the front-spheres by 1.44 and for the rear spheres by 1.31 (if a hole is
really all about citroen-dampers...). Wouldn't that be a good compromise?

Hmm, I thought those so called "comfort spheres" have holes that have a 0.1mm bigger diameter. 0.2
mm sounds like too much to me.
I think that Cypharse told me that the damper hole is 0.1 mm bigger on comfort spheres.
My XM has "comfort spheres" on the front axle. They are ok. If they have a 0.1mm bigger damper hole,
then 0.2 mm bigger is certainly way too much !

The standard XM comfort spheres comes with a 0.1 mm wider center hole.
We have tried 0.2 and 0.3 wider, also 0.1 (0.2) front and 0.2 (0.3) rear and most people prefer the 0.2
version.
But, it depends a little bit on your driving style and how much you want to compromise.
The larger the center hole, the slower you can take "speedbumps". Personally I prefer 0.2 extra, front
and rear.

Do you know where to buy these spheres? My Citroen-Dealer has no idea (or doesn't want to know...)
