Enhance your ride and optimise performance with premium shock absorbers and suspension systems
Mag, Tyre & Suspension specialises in enhancing your driving experience by focusing on the often-overlooked yet crucial aspect of your vehicle's performance – the suspension system. Your car's suspension plays a pivotal role in how it rides on the road, affecting everything from comfort and stability to safety and control. With components like air shocks, struts, and springs, the suspension system is responsible for ensuring a smooth and well-balanced ride while absorbing the shocks and bumps that the road throws at you.
Understanding your vehicle's suspension system is key to optimising your driving pleasure, and that's where we come in. We understand that car enthusiasts have diverse preferences when it comes to suspension systems. Some seek the lowered suspension for its cool, sleek appearance and improved performance, as it lowers the center of gravity, enhancing stability and handling. This setup is often favoured by sports car and performance enthusiasts looking for that extra edge on the road or track. On the other hand, many drivers prioritise the comfort and smoothness of their ride. They opt for suspension systems that provide a plush, cushioned experience, especially crucial for daily commuting and long journeys.
Our team is well-equipped to cater to both ends of the spectrum, whether you're seeking that low-slung, sporty look or a comfortable, family-friendly ride. We'll help you find the perfect balance that matches your unique driving style and needs, ensuring you get the most out of your time behind the wheel. Give us a call today to find out more.

Don’t bottom out - why lowering your car suspension should be done professionally
Lowering a car's suspension is the process of making the car sit closer to the road which can give it a sharp, more high performance appearance, especially if you have new tyres and alloy wheels. Once lowered, you'll experience enhanced aerodynamics, improved traction and reduced risk of rollover due to the lower centre of gravity. There are a few ways of lowering a car’s suspension to trim height and get a stiffer ride. These changes cut weight transfer during rapid speed or braking, allowing for improved acceleration and shorter braking distances. Modifications can include:
Airbags A type of suspension that uses air to absorb bumps and vibrations. The air pressure determines the stiffness of the ride.
Blocks & Adapter Spacers Spacers are small plates that are inserted between the springs and the car's body. Spacers will lower the car's ride height without making the car ride stiffer.
Leaf springs A series of shorter metal springs that absorb bumps and vibrations and can be modified by changing the spring rate, i.e. the force it takes to compress the spring; the higher the spring rate, the stiffer the ride.
When deciding to lower your car's suspension, we can give you advice to avoid issues. Selecting the wrong modifications for your car means you could struggle to manoeuvre speed bumps, find it more difficult to change oil or rotate tyres, and make it more uncomfortable for passengers.
Looking for a more comfortable ride and improved safety? You've come to the right place
A well-designed suspension system can transform your driving experience, making it more comfortable. Whether you're just doing the usual daily driving, carrying heavy loads, venturing off-road, or embarking on a long-distance journey, the right suspension system can make all the difference. A well-maintained and efficient suspension system is vital for safety reasons too as it ensures your vehicle maintains optimal contact with the road surface which provides stability and control.
The suspension system of a car includes various components, such as springs, struts, shock absorbers, and in some cases, air shocks. We carry a range of brands but recommend Monroe shock absorbers and air shocks and can talk through the products available and what's right for your vehicle.
In addition to enhancing comfort, handling and appearance, a well-functioning suspension system offers a number of benefits including:
