Default New coilovers fitted to RA Wannabe

Well, as I have bent my D2 coilovers during some spirited driving on some gravel roads, it was time to get some proper suspension. Here a HUGE thank you is due to Ralph @ Milsport who provided me with these awesome spec coilovers.

This is what they looked like when I took them out of the box:






Fitted to my RA Wannabe:




The quality of these is second to none. They are equipped with remote reservoirs, have camber adjustments on both front and rear, spring preload, damping, rebound and bump, so basically everthing I will ever need.

I am very impressed with the way these perform, we haven't finished the adjustments yet, but the ride quality is greatly improved compared to the D2's. I'll be able to say more next week as I'm spending the whole weekend on the track testing different settings.

They look awesome.
Is that the same set up that Milsport had featured in Japanese Performance magazine this month ?
How do you find the ride quality?

Yes it's the same setup, only better because mine has the remote canisters. The ride quality is amazingly good on the road, I honestly did not expect coilover suspension to be as comfy on the road as KYB dampers on Eibach springs, but it is.

They are made by Verus, the same company that make all the BuddyClub suspension.

They are available through Milsport.
