Geo Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 So i managed to bust a shock going over a pot hole in Glasgow, why the fek do we pay road tax for and they cant even give us decent roads. Anyway i spoke to Nic about getting one shock, car is setup using hypermax but i cant get just the one shock, iv got to get a complete set. So looks like i'll be buying a set of Nic soon. So was just wondering what everyone has on there cars? And are you's happy with them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 if its any help, if this pot hole is bad, take some pictures of the hole in th road and the damage to your car, and write into the council say your going to take action. someone down here went over a pot hole, cracked bumper and buckled magnesium wheel on his skyline. they ended up nearly paying 4k for geniune parts from japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Bilsteins here with Eibachs. Good setup, but bery low, low, low and very firm ride too. Not for the comfort minded or speed bump bombarded persons IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Maybe give Chris Wilson a call mate in my sig. He's the man when it comes to suspension and geometry technical advice and work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also does an awesome suspension set up based around modified yellow billies. Said to be the dog's bollox, once set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I got them from Whifbitz, same price (to the penny!) as MkIVstore, but Paul is a lot nearer to me. I have 18" wheels, and cos of the speed bumps round here I only lowered 1 or 2cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Ive got the yellow bilsteins, are they stock then???? Yes the Bilsteins were fitted as a handling option on earlier models and as standard on later model Supras.
