True, I had the Teins in my turbo, they could have been more comfortable...

Even though there are a million possible config settings as a very good guide the teins are very suited to smooth track work and this is where EDFC really can be tuned to suit and this is where the cost of a full tein set up would shine IMHO

But for straight out the box comfort and ride the shockworx are brilliant and made extremely well quality and finish wise

From your experience, Jet, do you feel the Shockworks would be as good on the track as the Teins is setup correctly? When I was chatting to Brett about all this he raised some interesting points form his experience: "If the Falcon is too flat you may not get the best out of the chassis. It needs some weight on the tyre. I had tested kits where the is nice and flat but is disconnected and the feedback from the wheel is lacking. You also do not need any bigger bars then the factory items as they just load the tyre too quickly and the breakaway in the wet quite fast."

I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has cut plenty of laps in both and can really comment. I think the teins have a higher spring rate which would explain why they are former on the street. If matched well with the damper settings this could translate to bring better on the track but happy to be proven wrong. In base form there's not much difference in cost between them.

I put the teins in mine earlier this year and I'd have to agree with JET, they are brutal on the road. Smooth Tarmac roads are very bumpy things. In saying that, they are so amazingly good at the same time. No more lean, sticks to the road like glue and the feel of the car at speed, good speed is incredible.

So, is there a consensus on shockworks vs XYZ?

There's a few happy people running XYZ

I'm leaning toward the shockworks, but are they worth the extra $$$ ?

What are the main differences?

Cheers
Paul

I have XYZ's and they have been fine so far

considered shockworks but didn't front the cash cos not racecar.

probably would have been just as happy with koni reds and king springs
