JODY T Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Looking to get some new suspension. With my price range of about 700 these seem to top the list with their functions over say the tein superstreetz but I've never used these companies before so have no reference Has anyone used either, what would u recommend? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 HSD's woud be my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 But there more again lol I'm already stretching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Cant fault HSD. A bit firm ride on the softest setting and amazing on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I have BC on mine. Recently fitted by Whifbitz. Had Tein lowering springs and KYB shocks previously. Much softer for day to day use and nice and firm for more spirited stuff. With a full geo set up the difference was noticeable, in a good way. These were recommended by Paul as a good budget set up knowing I intend to do track days. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Looking at the website they see to only have the ride height adjustment on the springs like the teins.. IDE prefer to leave the spring alone and adjust the length of the strut, like the D2 or the BC ..

They're very popular over on itr-dc2.com, plus I certainly like them Jerrick really is one of the most approachable, helpful traders I've ever dealt with. Send him and email for sure (tell him you were referred to him by Ian W from itr-dc2.com - it may make no difference at all, but he does deals occasionally over there so you never know!)

Suprakeith Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well i have BC coilovers on my N/A and have to say the ride is very very good on soft setting for day to day use, and you still can have alot fun when on soft setting. Hard Setting is very firm and mean very firm i would imagine on a track it will be amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 i have d2's on mine and they are good. bit of a firm ride- but only have a mk3 supras stock suspension to compare them too as they came with the car when i got it (mkiv). once had to bring the tail back in on a wet corner and there was minimal body roll and i think it made the difference.

EMPEROR Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 For that price, I took Tanabe Sustec Pro Five + TEAS controller... Can share my first impression within a week or two, if you can wait that long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 I've only done a few hundred miles but they seem very good for the price, they are good quality and fit just lovely.. I have them a little bit low at the moment (as they came out of the box) and need to lift, but have hurt hand so will have to wait.. But even low they are comfortable and feel much nicer than the bilsteins and eibach springs I had, the steering is more precise with less body roll, all in all a bargain.. They do deals for forums also from reading their site, may be worth someone getting in touch about discounts etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
