A good few hundred cheaper than Teins.I had them set softer than I thought, 6 front 5 rear, adjusted them up a bit now 8/10 front 7/10 rear, very firm ride now but not jarring, and it's even sharper in corners. Bloody impressive, you would not believe this is an 1800kg car. Under hard braking the car feels completely solid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great bloke.He'd just got off the plane from China with very little sleep but was more than happy to talk shop and share his (wealth of) knowledge and experience.Anyway, I'm sold. Ordering a set off him tomorrow and install them next week. Got a feeling I'm not going to be disappointed.Ride height of around 345mm - 350mm HTG is where it's at for best performance and pretty much where I want it without being stupidly low.Rab - from what I understand, there's no need to do anything else (ie bigger swaybars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.Pic is on teinsImageUploadedByMotorculture1403062678.773026.jpgHad to crop out front cos plate and iPhone :(It depends on which spring rate kit you order. They have 2 models. We have the heavy spring kit and I agree its a bit harsh on the street. I reckon the softer version would be perfect for a daily.

I'm not sure if it's the heavy or soft kit, but on the softest damping setting it's like rolling in a soft suspension car (read: comfortable even on harsh roads) and on the hardest setting it is like a track car, you feel all of the little tiny bumps. I love them!It's also quite possible that I enjoy a bumpy ride, too, due to the outright performance you get from them... for me, the trade-off is always worth it!
