another suspension question
I've read where some remove rear shocks on Club Car DS to soften ride and make room for larger motors. I also saw where someone removed upper leaf spring on a new Onward sport to soften ride. Are either of these feasible on the I20/EV1s ???

Re: another suspension question
Nothing can be changed to improve the ride

Re: another suspension question
It may happen still....
Not long ago there were zero if any accesories for ICON..when low and behold floor mats made for ICON got 1 fits great. It seems to me that as popular as ICONs are becoming with many thousand sold since 2019 ....that some entrepreneur would see the need for softer shocks and produce them... So somewhere in time it will happen!! Happy Cartin' |

Re: another suspension question
I need a stiffer ride myself. I have an i40L and when I get 4 people on it at high speeds, the thing wobbles back/forth between the lanes and can be pretty dangerous.
Not sure what to replace to fix that though? |

Re: another suspension question
Lowering the tire pressure from what the dealer set it at (35 psig) to 14 front and 18 rear, completely changed the handling charecteristics around. Gone is the squirrelly ride, bone jarring stiffness and now you can take your hands off the wheel without turning into something. My wife loves driving it now.

Re: another suspension question
Yes I get flat spots also, but are gone after about 2 blocks. Go golfing with it too, have the low profile street tires. 18 was too high for my fronts, at 16 the ride started to soften up and at 14 obtained best ride and handling. Not very far from what I ran on the Kart.

Re: another suspension question
I just changed out the horrible original Wanda tires with some 205/65-10 steel belted radials. My i40F is non lifted so I do get a slight rubbing, but only when making very slow tight turns. Otherwise the ride is night and day. I'm still testing various inflation settings, have tried several between 19 to 25. More rubbing at the higher levels, and as of now it seems that around 20 psi is the sweet spot.

Re: another suspension question
Hey @Becker135; did you mount the new tires on your stock 10” rims? I also have a i40, and want larger tires for a little softer ride and maybe extra mile or two.
Thanks for any info. |
