Best suspension setup for 05 182ff

[197_Dave]

What is the best suspension setup for the 182, i want improved handling without loosing to much comfort. It will be tracked a few times through the year aswell. Money wise just doesnt matter as will build it up over time.


Also how low is it best to go?

Cheers
Dave

Also looked and searched but not found a definative answer to what you lot is best on products, ride height, setup etc...

tough question to answer!

i'd say Eibach Sportlines if you wanna only spend about £200 (fitted)

or the other end of the scale is H&R's (fitted with a proper setup you should expect about £1K)

thats the only 2 main options really

 

[197_Dave]

Are the H&R's the best coilovers to go for, for the money? i was looking at these, also whats the best ride height to set them at so get a 50/50 of comfort and performance, about 30mm? and is there any other parts worth purchasing along with these? strust braces etc...

Thanks,

 

[Fred@BTM]

strut braces are a waste of time

ride height doesn't really affect comfort as much as people think

camber bolts are an option, onl really neccesary if you're going to be doing track days etc

 

[197_Dave]

A few track days will be had over the year but it is an everyday car so still need the little comfort it comes with, will this be worth the camber bolts? or for the couple of track days i do not worth it?

Will they effect day to day driving with the camber bolts? or will it go unoticed.

Sory for all the questions, i just want to spend wisely

camber bolts just allow precise adjustment/set up of the camber angle

who'd of thought!

I'd avoid camber bolts with H&R's, if you go that route.

I don't have them and have enough negative camber for track.

your camber is adjustable Chris,
newer versions have fixed camber, set for spirited driving

Oh right, on mine the holes have a little adjustment in them. It's a pig to setup as you need to keep taking the wheel off the check the angle.
