I want the one set on the car and another set to cuddle at night.I swear - if these things could brew hot coffee in the morning I'd marry them." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Stripes. All stock bar the k&n panel filter Silver Donating Members 8,061 Member For: 12y 9m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 14/07/14 10:19 PM Share Posted 14/07/14 10:19 PM From my conversations with Brett about his coilovers and swaybars this is why he recommends sticking with the factory ones:"Many people upgrade (or in my opinion, down grade) to stiffer stabilizer bars which have a much bigger increase on the loads for the drop links and mounts. When testing for the GT black we use a 20mm bar for the rear but this failed durability with the drop links on the lower rear arms failing. This diameter is sold as a aftermarket replacment. Our spring rates are such, that we don't need the bigger bars to make the car handle well but still have the ability to have great ride with our tuning experience. The rear is very sensitive to bar changes so would be careful with this. I went up 0.5mm on the rear bar to 19.5mm and ended up screwing the lap times but had fun with my new drift car haha."I'd be trusting his opinion mate, the guy knows these chasis better than anyone and from everything I've read and heard he notices things in the way the car reacts and responds to things that most of us would struggle to feel, which is why he's so good at tuning his setup accordingly and why all the big tuners over east who's tried his coilovers reckon they're the best suspension setup for our cars (Herrod, Nizpro, Pitlane...to name a few).

My F6 has kings and Koni with white line 27 and 22 adjustable bars in the 2nd of the 3 adjustable options. The tein are quite stiff. I can only just tell the difference. My car sits slightly flatter in the corners when pushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many brand of dampers also have an area of movement before any damping occurs (a dead zone), this is also very minimal with the shockworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
