Coilovers

[Baz]

Talking to Matt Humphries, I think I'll be going for a set of these entry level coilys

Height and dampening adjustable and front have camber adjustment

Nice one Baz!!! I love your car!

Cheers ,I was hoping to get a discussion going about the coilover though. . .Anyone use Spax, I have too say they look the part

 

[ollie240585]

I've got Spax shocks and springs on the Mighty Orion. A nice ride, although am only on -25mm springs.

Coilovers are a much better option and should make the handling even more outstanding on the wee march.

Hope they they exceed your handling expectations!!

I say so mate, the nismo suspenion I use on track is great make the car feel like a big sturdy car not out of control like the standard setup,so I'd imagine these would be better because the nismo stuff has seen better days

Not to sure as of yet, still in negotiations with Matt,does'nt really matter I'm getting them anyway:laugh:

Thats cool. I can imagine anything for these cars is an expense and not the easiest thing to get hold of.

So do you use Nismo on track and have a standard set up for daily use?

i use spax rear adj dampers and ive had no problems
they are a really nice ride on the roads with them set to soft
not so nice if set to hard as you tend to feel every little bump
the main thing i like about these spaxs is that it takes 1 minute to make ajustments
with the right settings,hight and and geometry setup you car will handle like a gokart

Rang Matt today and put a deposit on these(Y)
Costed a left ball but Its worth it

 

[jim_bling]

nice one mate would love to get some for mine

 

[smidge]

awesome mate! i really need to do something about my setup

the KYBs in the front and Starlet rears the ride is just shocking... actually makes the handling bad cause it doesn't stick to the road well enough, but maybe i want what i can't have which is it sticking without feeling every single twig and stone on the road!!

Very strange cars when it comes to suspension, coilovers is the only route for what I use it for

nice one, youll enjoy them and what i found weird on the k11 was that instead of the spring being seperate from the damper it come as one and still fits perfect
