better than sachs dampers though....
B14's are epic. I love mine. Spax IMO are overrated.
This. If I was going serious on my trackcar I'd have the Billy's all day long. So competent on the road and really work well when pushing on.

I love mine, more than capable on road and track (especially given my lack of race car driver skillz 
)
)Well it's the same setup I have. And Emma. Actually. It's perfect, I was keeping up with a cup that was caged and running r888's at Bedford. Yet I was only on PE2's

I run the b14s with whiteline. It's awesome, and the full cage probably helps. But I need to run tyres other than road tyres to confirm fully. I was on road Pirellis at Bedford.

maybe a bit longer than a month as he'l at least wait till he's drove the car on them before he decides to sell lolSome will be in the car parts for sale section in a month then
Alot of roll???
Seems acceptable to me!
Looks pretty good to me also. Though with everything if the drivers ham fisted then it'll make the suspension look 's**t'. When really, if you drive smoother and adapt your driving style to the spec of the car, then driving is so much easier/enjoyable.

This is ClioSport Nick, people dont consider their inability to drive, they just fit spaffy coilovers and R888's to go fast.
Bilsteins are epic, id gladly fit them to a 182.
That was indeed on PE2's. but bare in mind I was keeping up with a stripped/caged/coilovered cup on r888's
I had this conversation with a customer yesterday with an MSD vectra.
He was complaining about knocking from his coilovers. Wanted me to have a look.'put it in the air and found they were cheap s**t, I told him that the shocks are knackered as there's no play in anything else. He couldn't understand why a £189 set of coilovers was leaking after just a year? I tried explaining that you'll never get a decent ride aswell as a long lasting coilovers for £50 a corner.
Can imagine with stickier tyres you'll get a bit more roll with the sheer extra grip. But tbf, I think that amount of roll's alright, given that the suspension is so versatile for both having fun on track and most of all... Road.
Want stiffer suspension, then sacrifice road comfort, if not, then go with these and if they roll 'too much', then learn to drive better.
Yup good point don't get me wrong I like a bit of roll and the b14's did feel great but I was quite low at front and I always knew if I went on track I would of had to raise the front to stop it scrubbing. And that was on parada spec 2's!

Phil also moans all the time that RAINsports overheat on a dry trackday, so i wouldnt take everything he says as gospel
Lol. Tbh, when I drove your Trophy at Bedford, what suspension did it have? Sachs or H&R'S (Bilsteins pretty much)? As even with quite a bit of roll and R888's that was actually more fun to drive on track than my old disciplined stiff FK Konigsport setup on my Cup.
Plus I was still running rings round caged 'track cars' with yours

Tbh it didn't feel like it was rolling around atall. But also, I have mine set quite high, higher than eibach springs!
Yeah Sir_Dave had his H&R'S set at near on standard ride height and I personally think they work better like that! The Bilsteins on my cup currently are as I got the car, and too low. Handles okay on the road but I don't really push the car hard. Could do with being set higher so they are more compliant in general.
