Had them on a classic years back, one word for them sh1te. Way too stiff and bouncy for our roads and to be of any use when wanting to drive spiritedly

My Spec C had HKS Hypermax fitted when it came over from Japan. With springs at 16kg/mm it was ROCK hard. The solid rear top mounts rattled away too. Couldn't wait to rip em off
|
Brother had them on a gtir he said fitted them drove down back road for some spirted driving the car was so hard first bump his head hit the roof so hard he almost went through it lol
|
I had them on my classic for a week before putting the Koni adjustables & Eibach springs back on.
They would be fantastic for track use but as has already been mentioned were way too hard for road use. |
Thanks guys your advice is invaluable decision taken
Any more options best suspension for road use? So I can keep my eyes open or atleast start saving for some, the more I drive the car I get more confident with the drive and the more I want to throw it about but I know my current setup will only take so much :) All advice appreciated thanks :thumb: |

The rb320 set-up is the optimum road suspension - you won't find its limit on the road.

Exe TC coilovers, KW v3, Ohlins etc
Unless you find some second hand and rebuild them at another great cost :D Op, kW v3 was at top of my list, or even the blisteins b14/16. But I'm thinking I might test the gt1 out as jerrick has offered me a no quibble offer. |

You can't buy exetc coilovers for fast road/track anymore, only the Motorsport stuff at a great cost.

But I'm thinking I might test the gt1 out as jerrick has offered me a no quibble offer. Cheaper than your gt1s that's for sure! Oh an if enough people ask EXE-TC they are not obverse to making more.... |

You won't find anything quite like them though 😉and you are assuming that one actually paid for them to have a rebuild....

You can get Bilstein B14s for a newage (dont fit classics) for about 1k ish new, would be a good option for fast road use and they are complaint too.

I looked at the B14's through Chevron and he pushed me toward the B16's.
I've gone for the GT1's as I didn't want to spend £2grand Trev |

Spoke Simon at chevron recently said the b16 performed better than the ohlins on a hatch they recently tested still got heart set on ohlins thou

I've gone for the GT1's as I didn't want to spend £2grand Trev I'm not afraid of trying something new tbh, all the info sounds good on these and if they are sh1te then I'll say they crap and send em back, simple. But scooby owners tend to sway you away without even trying themselves. On mlr I read a guy came 1st 3 times and all other reviews seem to be positive on other forums so, don't mind being a Guinea pig. May even still opt for KWs yet. |
best suspension for road use is standard shocks and springs, i made the mistake of fitting coilovers when i had a blob sti and they were utter crap.
they were bcs and they are without doubt utter cheap chinese shonky sh1t. take bannys advice above about the bilsteins |

I gave 3 options of which I would fit to my car. I refuse to fit **** to my car, so I'm hardly going to give him advice to fit bcs.... youre the one going on the defensive, I posted my experience and you started trying to pick holes in it :thumb: I forgot about the blisteins, that's a good shout by banny too. |

I told you how much a rebuild cost by them. Not what I paid, as I didn't pay squat for it :thumb: they still cost less even if I did pay for a rebuild than the gt1. But considering I didn't pay for it they were considerably cheaper..

The gt1 rebuild if free ;) Sorry i didnt just mean the post you quoted, i just meant in general on snet. Im crap with my words. Im not picking holes at anything ;) |

Don't really want to say on here tbh.
Have you got them on? Or you waiting for order? I'm not afraid of trying something new tbh, all the info sounds good on these and if they are sh1te then I'll say they crap and send em back, simple. But scooby owners tend to sway you away without even trying themselves. On mlr I read a guy came 1st 3 times and all other reviews seem to be positive on other forums so, don't mind being a Guinea pig. May even still opt for KWs yet. The price tag is about where I wanted to be, up from the BC BR range but not 2k, which others mentioned are if topmounts are included. The B14's are very slightly cheaper but don't have adjustable damping which for me did swing it. Very much personal choice. The GT1's look good and have been developed from MeisterR's experience of what they already have, so that has reassured me. Trev |

Do you have a link for chevron by any chance as I'm contacting all places on Monday @InTurbo "When speaking to Simon from chevron I explained to him that I wanted a compliant ride that can handle bumpy fast road use. He said the b14s are good with excellent handling, but even with him customising them with more bump travel and softer low speed bump they won't be as comfortable as the rb320 Bilsteins and for a fast road use there hard to beat." |
