I dont have the details of the standard stroke Im afraid.

If anyone has any questions or issues with their coilovers then give us a ring, we are back at work now

Managed to get a set of coilovers ordered this morning - They should make the rear end a bit quieter - was told that mine are the worst that the guy had ever seen!!!!!

Hopefully just made the group buy price?

And to confirm - Newage (2003) 100 PCD road car - I assume they will be 5/4s with rear camber adjustment and long adjuster thingies?

Many thanks

Castors,

I dont deal with orders but yeah they should be camber rear mounts and extenders.

Andy,

dave,

All being sorted for you

got mine(2004 sti) fitted at the weekend,great build quality and the height adjustment is huge.you can literally have it nigh on standard height or scraping off the floor.
don't get my alignment done until friday so just taking it easy,but up to now the car feels stiffer and more composed with a lot less body roll yet its still not as harsh a ride as the sti set up with prodrive springs.
fantastic bit of kit for the money,big thumbs up from me

any news on the classic 4's 3's

davedipster

Exactly what I wanted to here The Guys on iwsti and nasioc have fitted these before they came to the UK I think, and have great things to say about them also.
Mine will be fitted by extreme scoobs, cos its to dam cold on the driveway this time of year!

i had just enough space to do mine in my garage and i was still froze to the bone by the time i finished lol.
you won't be disappointed with the coilovers

davedipster

Turned up today
Will fit myself cos it's above freezing during the day now! just.

Mine arrived yesterday - look absolutely brilliant.

The sweetie in the box was a nice touch - kept the missus quiet for a minute or so

Can't wait to fit 'em and rid the car of the knocking and banging.

Many thanks

davedipster

Fitted today, real easy apart from the odd rusted on 19mm bolts.
I added 30mm of ride height to each damper out of the box, this gave a 20mm front and 30mm rear drop on a 03sti. Ideal.
Thanks steve for the heads up on adding 30mm to each damper, cos out of the box it would of been way way too low.

The bc's are not silent, but they are a leap forward in performance.

Bren,
Is this GB still going?
I am looking for a set for a 2003 Sti - 5/4 kgmm (5x100 PCD)

Cheers Steve_wr1

Steve, what spring rates did you get? 5/4 ? How do they compare with the stock springs? What sort of damper settings do you use? Thanks Peter

steve_wr1

i should be on commission lol.

I am tempted by these for my Hawkeye STi when I uprate the suspension. Luckily, after 12k miles (and about 11k on Tein Springs) my shocks haven't gone t!ts up yet, but I'm guessing its just a matter of time so would rather sort something out before the inevitable happens.

I know its probably been asked in the thread, but as I'm struggling with a poo internet connection so I cant scan the many pages before this..

For a fast road and occasional track application for my 2007 Hawkeye STi (5x114.3), what kit and spring rate would you recommend?? Also, could you confirm the price for the kit.


Cheers,
Grant

Received mine on Friday morning and fitted it yesterday along with an perrin droplinks and ARB. Wish someone told me to rase the bloody things up 30mm.. Lol

I left the front as they came and put the back up 15mm, i really need to get some settings for the alignment / geomerty as its all out obviously.. but i felt the need to test it out and OMG!!! everyone needs a set of these.

does anybody know how long this will be going on for,can't get any until next month cheers

any news on the 4/3 spring rates arriving?

scooby222

Grant,if you want to see what theyre like firet hand give me a shout over on ss,or il be at the meet in stirling in 2 weeks if your going.
cheers Dave

prwatts

Rob, what coilovers did you buy and what spring rates? Peter

prwatts

Grant, my calculations have concluded that our STi's have almost 5kg/mm front and 4kg/mm rear but I am not 100% certain. My STi had Prodrive springs in when I got it and they were 25% stiffer which implies 6.25 Front and 5 Rear and the ride was horrible. I went back to stock and am much happier, so I will specify 5/4. I have asked Rob2006 above what his rates are. What I cannot quantify is how much different the Apex Damping Rates (Variable) will be over the fixed stock damping rates. I want a fast road car, and I want to be able to ride in comfort up to Scottishland with the dampers set to soft, then when I get there turn the damping up for the fun stuff.

Gents, I went to the Autosport Show at the NEC this weekend and Suspension was one of my main interests. I guess there were at least 15 exhibitors there with suspension on display. Some said outright "We don't do coilovers for Subaru" such as Koni. Others quite frankly did not know what they were talking about and basically werre selling ice creams: they would dive for their own catalogue and say words to the effect of "Do you want the red one or the green one?" Actual hard data was NIL. At a prestigious international sporting show, not one exhibitor who was displaying suspension could talk data. So far in a 4 month investigation the only one who has quoted believeable data to me has been Bren at Apex. My other source is NASIOC but we have to be careful with their data in Blighty and filter it. Conclusion: the Apex Coilovers are the best value for money. I have prices from Tein and others but none has data so I don't know if they are right, and most were more expensive than Apex. BTW there was one exhibitor there who builds off-road buggies and is a suspension designer and we had a fantastic chat about suspension, and I ended up on my knees before him: "Please become a suspension solutions consultant !" and he just laughed. In the next few days I will type up all my findings for my application: Fast Road 2.5 STi GDF and you can all lay into me. I will copy this post onto Technical: Suspensions.

Glad you like them

In in the UK now, will be with us early next week

Im sure youll like them.

Cool arent they.

Glad youre happy

Yeah just, its being stopped in the very near future as its less of a GB than a perminant discount and its no good for the brand now we have launched it properly.

6/5kg.mm, £535 if youre quick, the deal price is about to end.

They are proper, excellent value for money

Not much longer, its been running for far longer than originally planned so we are going to call it a day at the end of this week.

In the UK, with us next week

We had a stand at the Autosports show but it was a last minute thing. We were going with our Skyline as part of the show (we opened the Live Arena bit) so thought wed book a stand lats minute
