No doubt they are a compromise for out and out performance, reasonably priced though, got a good name to them so I'm sure they are fine for a road car/track.
Mike on here that rally's a cup racer actually runs these inserts in his racer Billy's and is quite chuffed, you need more compliance for rallying so would be better suited to his purposes.
Like I said, you can expect too much for £650
Phil also moans all the time that RAINsports overheat on a dry trackday, so i wouldnt take everything he says as gospel
TBF he's not the first person I have heard complain about them, middle budget road tyre can't be asked for miracles.
I guess you have quite a smooth/progressive driving style? I would shred them no problem, too much tread/blocks.

Yup, we set them at the same height as Sachs/Sportlines & they were very good imho. Same dampers as the Bilsteins, different springs as far as im aware? You drove it on the Sachs at Bedford Nick, and yeah, as you say, even then it would quite happily keep up with caged/stripped/sticky tyres things - i did the same there the other day, with a completely standard car on knackered A048's.
Im so smooth on track that Sarah still falls asleep in a Trendline without a harness, & i dont tend to get overtaken that much ...

Just spoken to Kam racing about these and they had a few issues with the ones they got in stock so they have had to send them back to Bilstein for a bit more testing from what I could gather on the phone.
He also mentioned that he doesn't think they can do a discount on these at all.
He's got my contact details so will let me know when its updated and I'll update the thread when they are officially available.

If I recall correctly the B14's were actually developed (valved) for the Ring. They have a fair bit of give in them because the last thing you want on the Ring is an uber stiff setup. And remember, you don't want to eradicate body roll, you need it, you just want controlled body roll, which is different.

Are you sure it's problems as I spoke to then yesterday and they said they are waiting for them to come in and they need a 182cup to test them on soon after.
Yep, well the person I spoke to mentioned sending them back for more testing and was going on about holes at the back, I imagine this to be the part where it mounts to the hub possibly was incorrect still. He said he has spoken to them this morning about sending them back.
Sounds bit odd they tell you that and me something else though :S.

I'll bump this as it saves creating a new thread. I'm looking at these from Kamracing for my Clio instead of the GAZ GHA's, does anyone know if these issues mentioned have been ironed out yet? I'm wanting to order on Monday.
If not I'll give them a bell tomorrow and see what they say.
Still waiting to hear from them mate didn't want to nag and the Clio is costing me a fortune lately any way. Was going to ring them again in a couple weeks to see what's going on. There waiting on Bilstein to send some out and then they will be trialling them on my car when they get them and if all is well I imagine they will be available straight away.
If you speak to them tomorrow update the thread on the situation though please

I will do buddy, only thing is I want to be ordering them on Monday so not sure what I am doing to do! I have little patience!
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I spoke to them and he said its incorrect measurements on the initial batch. He's been busy so not had chance to chase it up but he will do. Told me to call on Monday and he will let me know where they are at with it.
Nice one mate hopefully it doesn't take too long
He said hopefully they will start selling them in a few weeks. Sounds like too long for me. Just seen some FK Konigsports for not much more which I'm tempted by, but the bolt spacing says "58mm" :S
Spoke to Kam today. Apparently Bilstein have fitted these to a 182 Cup and they are under testing. Kam expect to have these late this week for delivery early next week if all goes well with the testing. They have produced 50 sets they told me.
