AJI Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I have for sale : RS*R Sports-i coilovers and C-spanners. This suspension is aimed more for the track enthusiast and was designed by Orido in Japan and built by RS*R. It has 36-step 2-way adjustable suspension...ie.36-bump and 36-rebound. It also has adjustable pre-load and adjustable ride height - done through the shock absorber body itself. Please read the write up I did on this suspension after I had it fitted back in 2007. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=119697&highlight=suspension The suspension has not done many miles (as I take my car off the road every winter time), and it is in VERY GOOD condition (see pics below). It has been round the nurburgring on two visits and I can say from experience that this is where the suspension really shines !! Apart from that milage, then the units have not been through any abuse at all. (ie no other track days, or silly pot holed roads). There are NO leaks or any visual or mechanical damage. Basically the units are as good as new. Reasons for sale : Where I live, in Cumbria near the Lake District, I find myself driving too much on bumpy 'A' and 'B' roads and this suspension was not really designed for this use. On these types of roads the suspension works better the faster you drive, but I want to retain my driving license with a clean record, so really do not want to be driving fast on roads that have now been resricted to 50mph (from 60). And as I have two performance cars and alternately take them to the Nurburgring each year I find that my Supra is sitting on suspension that it is not really using to full effect. So, decided to sell it onto somebody who would get the full benefit of such a dedicated set up. The picture below shows the front and rear coilovers and the c-spanners for adjustments. Close up of the coilovers showing the spring type and condition. Top of the coilovers showing the adjustable bump and rebound dials. These can easily be adjusted once the units are on the car. Close up picture showing the spring seats and the screw thread for adjusting pre-load. Bottom of coilover units showing quality of the product and the screw threads at the base where the ride height can be adjusted. Picture of the two C-spanners used to turn the spring seats and coilover base for adjustments. . . . . This suspension set up to buy new for a Supra is around £2300. I am looking for £1000 or nearest offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'd be tempted by these if I wasn't happy with what I've got already, I know you really rated them when you fitted them and will have looked after them well. Good luck it the sale mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks Steve. Yes, these coilovers really do give confidence on a track. Body roll is very well managed, pitching and diving under acceleration and braking is also very well managed and with the 36-step adjustment it can be finely tuned. The quality of the units is also felt when driving, as there are no knocking or squeaking sounds, and the materials and construction are top notch. And with my motorsport history I have seen some quality units before on various race cars, this was one of the reasons I was happy with the RS*R product.

SteveR Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Out of interest, is there an equivalent electronic adjustor for these/any other dampers on the market, like the ETCS jobbie TEIN do (and I have fitted). I'm too lazy to get spanners out but also I value the ability to make adjustments whilst driving and instantly feel the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 the tein EDFC does exactly the same - more of a gimmick in my opinion. I use mine to tweak settings whilst I'm driving: to hone in on a better setup or to adjust for changes in road/weather conditions or driving style. It's cheap & cheerful but I love it.
