R-Spec Typhoon suspension worth it?

[ERICtheBERIC]

Theres a full set of R-Spec Typhoon suspension I am able to get for $350 for my BA. From what I've read they are supposed to be better for track duties which is sort of what im going for with this thing. Do you recon itd be quite a noticeable improvement or should I just save up and get some teins or something?

BA and BF2 different.  Just get some springs and descent shocks

Thanks mate, saved me some coin there for sure. Im guessing from your profile pic youve done a fair bit of track work, any personal recommendations?

Not quite, ba/bf1 struts are different to BF2 and have a different spring length. Ba/f1 spings are not suitable for bf2 strut assy's and vice versa for bf2 to ba/f1.

 

As complete assemblies they are interchangeable.

 

Either way unless the r-spec suspension was very very low km and on the near side to free...not much point.

Keep in mind that shocks wear out, so changing old ba suspension for old bf suspension might not be such a good idea

Those last two posts summed it up. 

 

Suspension doesn't last forever. You might buy something that is worse than what you currently have if you go second hand.

I've got an Rspec Typhoon and I do track days........one of the best mods I've ever done was to fit a set of adjustable coilovers to it.....

Turned an already good car into a great car......;)

And don't think you need top shelf ones either.......the ozrace setup I've got on mine does the job just fine.....and the front and rear owes me less than 1500 bucks.
