Wez Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Chris Wilson setup on billies I have a slightly more track focused version of his street setup and even that is still very compliant on UK roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you have adjustable suspension I wouldn't go much lower then 25mm front and rear. For me personally I prefer to have my car slightly stiffer on the rear and a bit softer on the front. I find it helps with front end turn in. What kind of suspension system do you have or are looking to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, the opposite to most, you tend to run a little softer in the rear to allow the car to squat a little to aid traction, you also run stiffer upfront to help with braking as the front is already heavier and then when braking you have the weight transfer from rear to front.

mellonman Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 i managed to get my self hight adjustable bilsteins trd ones but i hear they are stiff and give a drop of 15mm out the bag so was wondering what shall i set them at also hear the same as wez that the rear should be softer and the front alittle higher i was thinking of only changing the front spring and dampers only for this reson and using just the trd springs as they are slightly stiffer then stock on the rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) The grey TRD/Bilsteins are stiffly dampened, the spring seats can be adjusted to give 3 different ride heights (with 5mm increments), with aftermarket lowering springs they are going to give a very firm ride. I think I'd try them first with a set of late model standard springs and adjust the spring seats to the required ride height.

mellonman Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well looks like I can only fit the springs now as the dampeners are goosed , are the springs any good on there own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
