Rally Coilovers! Anyone?

[MR2]

well, I've popped some Tein Flex coil-overs on my car and well they are pretty bad...I've played with the dampening rates and nothing seems to really help...SO

I'm looking around for something with considerable more travel, I'm not sure what the stock travel is but it'd have to be 3-4 times that of what the flex have which by way of shocks pretty much puts me straight into rally territory.

anyone played around with shocks of this level? Ksport have some that look like they'd be interesting to "try"

Spring rates: 504 lb Front(9kg ish) and 392 lb Rear (7kg)

Stock Tein flex are 12kg front and 5kg rear

Tein flex's are ment to have a total travel of what...4" maximum? :| not goooood enough.

1G dsm suspension is not drastically different in front from the 3S setup. You may want to try Drummond Motor Sports (DMS). When I had rally dreams for my dsm's they were on my list as you see them on many SCCA rally cars and were very popular on the dsm's that rally.

Yeah I own a set and I love them. Just set the ride height to where you it unless you use the EDFC unit.

To my knowledge, the EDFC doesn't control ride height.

It controls the damper, which lets you raise or lower the car without getting out and using the little hex on the top or taking off your wheels and adjusting the things you need the tools for (sry don't remember their names).

The EDFC is a Electronic Damping Force Controller and its caveman technology compared to stock ECS suspension, in short words; worthless piece of shit .

D2 makes rally coilovers for our cars, i think its pricey though.
edit: ~2 grand, also no clue on travel or quality

[MR2]

yeah the Ksport are pretty much the same shit as D2....I'm currently asking them quite a few questions

Good luck with that. D2 and KSport are both the same Chinaware. A fellow German 3s driver works as engineer in China and managed to find out where they are actually made.
He's been in China for almost 15 years now and he sais he'd never put a chinese made suspension on his car.

No..

Just no.

I cant believe the amount of dumbness being posted on this site recently.

Between Steve and a few other people, they manage to keep me off this site unless i have to buy or sell something
