Coil Over Choice

[zebra]

hey guys,

I'm after some feed back on coil overs as im undecided on what to get, im leaning towards the buddy clubs as they look like a really well put together unit....and the street spec ones have a softer spring rate than the g4's

any one used the above and what are your thoughts on them. I dont want a rock hard ride what so so ever just a nice handling car that can put up with a few track days.

thanks in advance.

HSD seem to be ok, you can choose your spring rates aswell so you can make it ride however you please. Tien Super streets by all accounts are pretty forgiving on the street too

i have G4's with the softess springs they come with and they are damn solid, but you get used to them

my rx7 has stiff springs in it and it hops all over the place on broken ground. A Daewo Lanos would be faster point to point on rough roads!!! But the mazda weighs like 1000kg. what spring rates are you using and do you have any problems on rough roads with the car bouncing off line?

sorry i dont know facts and figures on the spring rates, i have the softest in the rear and medium soft upfront (due to wheel clearance from the guard) , although your main problem will be the rear obviously with less weight in the back

some roads are a pain in the butt, it will only bounce offline on a bumpy road if your doing stupid shit

you need to tell yourself its a 'sporty ride' not a 'bumpy ride' lol took me some time to adjust

handling and overall feel of the car is tops, body roll doesnt exist, gear changes are much more solid

I have Tein HA's they are very hard and bouncy but i looooove it more and more each day it makes the car feel like a skyline should. If you are willing to adapt it really does open up your options, but the buddy clubs are a well made shock

looks like im going the buddy clubs....for a few hundred bucks over g4s they seem like a good deal

Do your self a favour and take a look at the responses from the guys who have bought the Group Buy kits.

The street spec G4's are still way to hard - trust me.

Cheers Guys

SK. I will have to see what my car comes with picking it up on thursday....i know it has a adj caster rods but unsure on springs/shocks. How do you adjust the ride height using the circlips does it just cange where the spring sit on the shock.

for instance running 18" wheels with 235/40 rubber would the tyre sit in line with the guard...just to get an idea of how low the car will sit.

It's height adjustable in 8mm steps. You just have to pull the strut apart to adjust the heights. It changes where the spring seat sits in relation to the rest of the shock
