Handling kits for Rolls Royce & Bentley models from 1965 to 2003

24 Dec 2018

IntroCar now has a handling kit available for all SZ series models including Silver Shadow, T series, Silver Spirit, Silver Spur, Mulsanne, Eight, Turbo R, Brooklands, Flying Spur & Silver Dawn!

This video details shows the handling kit for an early chassis Bentley SZ car and more details about why you may want to consider improving the ride for your Rolls-Royce or Bentley.

These cars are very loose on the roads and they lean a lot when you steer and they tip a lot front and back when you're accelerating and braking. The idea behind that is to give you a very soft ride.. more like the kind of American car market you would expect there. That is not always great for UK roads.

The road handling kit here is an upgrade set of springs; including front springs which are a lot 'beefier' than the rears because the rears also have gas springs. These front springs are uprated from the original ones. They will still give you the same comfort and ride but a much firmer ride so that you don't feel the car leaning forward and backwards too much when accelerating and braking.

The other issue is the lean that you get when you go around a roundabout or around the corner and to help stop that happening are these anti roll bars. The anti roll bars connect one side set of the suspension to the other side. So if you turn the corner and the weight of the car is pushing down one side of the suspension then the anti roll bar will then pull down the other side that will twist, the anti roll bar will actually twist.

Depending on the strength of the anti roll bar it will affect this more or less. So the fact that this is such a strong anti roll bar it will pull down the other side more so the car doesn't lean so much. As you can see in this video this is a huge anti roll bar. They are heavy cars so it has got a lot of weight to contend with and that is the reason it has to be so thick. The rear one less so because it hasn't got as much weight at the back but it's still a pretty thick anti roll bar.

Fitting this kit will improve the handing of your car significantly. Everybody who's ever had one fitted has raved about how good it makes the car feel! What we do as well as is we supply the seats, the bushes for the anti roll bars, the drop links for the anti roll bars and also with any handling kit you get a discount on a full set of dampers as well.  If you have an early shadow with the short stroke dampers then you probably want to change the top plates and fit the long stroke dampers in conjunction with the handling kit.
