Just Put Bilsteins On My F6

[Evil F6]

The Advan V103's would be 2x better than the SP9000's I had before in the wet and 4 x better in the dry.

Good to hear as I'm getting Advans for my new 19" rims.

The V103s are also softer.

My 27mm is great.  I was out having some highspeed fun in the wet yesterday and today without issue.

I have changed my fron to be on the med setting and the rear on soft.  I am not happy with this on a dry day, but it is needed for the wet, or it is just too tail happy.

Iconic, you might find it was tyres or oil that caused the problem.

Tyres are all good and I have been thinking about oil today. If it was oil I'll never know but very well could have been. Was pretty wet but not enough water on road to be aquaplaining, which also has a very different feel.

Well the rear swaybar goes on in a few days and the rains stopped so it will be another 6 months before it rains again.

Whteline 27mm non-adjustable.

Or maybe to much boost

Remeber there are five settings on your whiteline swaybar that may help you fine tune the handling a little more.

Yes, but they grip a lot better wet or dry. I'd rather they were 220 treadwear, but in the 19" size my much trusted Goodyear GS-D3 don't come in 275/30 and the Dunlop Sport Maxx are $200 dearer than the Advans. Still I only do around 10-12K a year so I'm not too worried by the softness of the Yokies. Those poor bastards with VE commodores are in for a shock; 140 treadwear and very dear the RE050A.

Just had the Bilsteins fitted on monday, there is definatley a big differance, the car a lot smoother in the corners and the back end is a lot less twichyer.

I think it has added maybe an extra 5 to 10Ks in cornering speed to the car and feels a lot more comfortable doing it. Sway bars go in on friday so it should be better again.
