jazz1 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I was thinking of hydraulics, from http://www.rayvernhydraulics.com its about 2k. The only reason im considering this rather than tein suspension is because im worried that i would constantly have to repiar my kit as there are many speed bumps etc, what do you guys think?

RobSheffield Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 hydraulics are the ultimate in blinged up ridiculous, and totally NOT right on a Supra Jazz there are suspension setups that let you drive over bumps you know! i have a do luck nose, reputedly one of the the lowest noses out there, and i have HKS hipermax 2 suspension. i have no problems with speed humps, but i do drive over them sensibly.

jazz1 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 cheers rob i was just worried about my do luck nose but id suppose it would be fine if i have the tein coilovers its just i was reading this airbag suspension in the banzai magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Culture Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 All depends on what you want from the car, Jazz. Airbag suspension is great for shows. Coilovers are good for driving a car hard. In fairness, a Supra handles like poo anyway, but you have to remember, this is a GT cruiser type car, not a lightweight, flickable track car. It all depends on what you want from it. As for adding weight, i wouldnt worry about that, its hardly the catwalk, stick-thin supermodel of cars! BUT, any ride quality and ability the Supra does have would go out the window. Decision is yours, dude!!!! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on what you want from it. It weighs 1500kg and generates 0.98 lateral G. That's very similar to a 911, I wouldn't say it handles like poo! It's a great track car IMHO...

Sub_Culture Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Really? I must admit, I havent tracked a Supe before, but I cant imagine it handling too hot or getting round a corner in a hurry. Would love to be proved wrong though, I love my Supra and would love to see it play with other big jap cars! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitting poor quality, lowered, wrongly set up suspension, with big bling wheels will result in very poor handling. I also suspect that most of the early Supras are riding around on very worn out suspension bushes, which will have a huge detrimental effect on handling.

Chase Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Didn't I hear a story a while back about Chris Wilson upsetting the Porsche owners club on a trackday because he embarrased them all in a Supe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after owning a Nissan 200SX S14 with 335BHP and full suspension set up coilovers etc, i can honestly say that i can get the Supra round corners faster than i could the S14! not as flickable! but it does feel better in the bends.

whitesupratt Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 We've fitted a few from them, quite good to fit. But they are chavtastic! Not for the Supe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
