For the moment MMC tried everything to get the suspension work to justify the Minilites. This ended up with stiffer springs, a second rubber washer to reduce total spring travel and consecutive overall pre load taking the rebound spring into account. Icing the cake they recommended 8 clicks on the GAZ. The result is undrivable but this way the Minilites will not touch the suspension. For this "solution" they even had the car ordered back to Malvern...
My dealer is not inactive and next Friday we will see to reach a drivable compromise until I get new wheels.
I like the Suplex idea, but first I will manage to get wheels (on my own bill) which will match the required dimensions for the car and most important which give the necessary space due to bigger inner rim diameter to let the suspension travel without abrade. After achievingthat Suplex could be a solution. As PJB wrote some years back in Morgamania a stiffer spring with a very stiff rebound but without pre compression could also be a solution perhaps. (That was written before he developed the Suplex system).
I would like to PM because in August we are (again) in nice Italy for vacation.
