Hmmm interesting. I was going to get the BC but now am considering these.

Does anyone have any feedback on these?

 

[steveP]

I've had these in both my cars for over 3 years. Going strong and very happy with them.

 

[AKKO]

So far so good with my set, need to get my camber kits in to prevent the faster than normal tyre wear though!

Just had these installed in mine today, good thoughts on them so far and Ryan is a champ to deal with!

Hi guys I have a set of these on their way. Re spring rates I got 10F and 8R.

I will be installing them this week, can anyone please provide advice on the setup ie ride height, spring preload, damper setting etc.

My goals are aesthetics and comfort ie have the tyre about an inch from the arch (not dropped to the ground) and have the ride firm yet compliant (don't want the wife in my ear).

 

[SLY-031]

I have my preload set to about 5mm past captive, and damper is about half way I think.

Firm but still comfortable.

 

[steveP]

Yeah, turn the lock ring until the spring is just captive, then give it 2 full turns.

I have my dampening set to about 1/4 from the hardest setting.

 

[aiwasaki]

Thanks guys. Can't wait for them to turn up now.

Are they hard to install?

BTW what about height adjustment? Steve I can see by your profile pic you have your car set pretty low, I want mine about 4cm higher than yours. Do you recall how much of the bottom bracket you had threaded in?

 

[steveP]

It's just trial and error. Just guess the height a little too high. Then drop the car, recalculate how much you need to adjust and you're done.

 

[aiwasaki]

Thanks

Might have a go a doing a write up when I install mine

Hi guys I have a set of these on their way. Re spring rates I got 10F and 8R.

I was thinking the same spring rates but for a galant. Should I be going 6 for the rear instead?

 

[SLY-031]

Steve has 10/8 in his Galant, he can tell you what he thinks.

 

[steveP]

I've actually got 10/6. Like I said before, 10/8 would have been better so I had more adjustability. I've basically got the dampening set to maixmum with the 6 spring rate.

 

[J-B]

Thanks for that Steve, 10F 8R it is then

 

[aiwasaki]

Hi guys did your coilovers come with any instructions? Mine didn't, I'm going to give Ryan a buzz now to see what the story is

 

[steveP]

Nuh, no instructions as all coilovers pretty much work the same way. There's a write up on here somewhere if you need a guide.
