Citroen XM Forum

Now that would explain why riding in Jaaps 2.1 it is soooo soft. He had it in soft mode all the time anyway, but the ride is very good indeed. I haven't really sampled the two different hydractives enough to tell the difference.

I'm afraid I don't really remember your black one Paul, although I knew you had one and...well it came to an unfortunate and unessessary end.

Yea, I was being brainless... like I normally do.. but there we go..

H2 cars have larger corner spheres with larger damper orifices, so ride softer, but the centre sphere is smaller so the ride isn't floaty and also the hydractive block incorporates the ball bearing valve so roll is less than an H1 car on larger corner spheres would be.
The whole combination works very well.

I have found drilling the front sphere dampers out to 0.7mm works well to stop the jarring that 0.6mm orifices cause.
