Review Of The Kumho Ecsta Ku31

[Missileman]

Where did you get the SK Bilsteins, Is he still able to supply or did you pick up some secondhand?

[GTSBoy]

Direct from SK. Just message him on here. He still does it for SAU peeps as a community service!

[Missileman]

Cheers, good to know.

Typically 36-38 psi. R32 GTSt with stock arms, urethane camber bushes F&R, ball-end caster rods, sensible sporty street alignment, Bilstein@F & KYB@R + Kings springs, 24mm adjustable F&R. Spot on legal ride height.

Some of that has changed this month - new SK B6s F&R, GTR Kings Springs F&R. Not using KU36s atm having bought some Goodyears for almost nothing from Tirerack some months ago.

FWIW, the new dampers and springs have changed my car so much that I have more grip now on the lesser Goodyears than I did on KU36s, and if I were to put KU36s back on I would either have massive grip or I'd wear them out in 3 weeks (or both!).

Or break a gearbox?

[GTSBoy]

Probably not. I give no faark for launch grip. Turn in and mid corner grip is the only thing I worry about.

Must. have. launch. grip.

Hate losing to HSV's.

At the drag strip

[GTSBoy]

I just had a run with a VF GTS. They are bloody quick.

[jjman]

Hahaha, yeah my mate has one. Im quite astonished at what they put down.

And honestly the ones at the drag strip scare me (im in WA so all the mining guys love em and throw mad money into their LS's). If its lumpy its usually in the 11's

[Blackkers]

Yes it's getting easier for these v8 guys. I also know someone with a vf who is making over 330rwkw. I know they're heavy but that is not a slow car

We drive dinosaur cars, just accept it. I have, but still enjoy 1990s technology and have a fondness.
