How do you adjust the damping? Or are they just height adjustable?

 

[Jekyll]

They have adjusters that screw into the top of the dampers front and rear and you twist them the way you want for soft or hard.

 

[Jekyll]

Like this: (this is with standard top mounts btw)

 

[JB21]

Nice! Can't wait to get set of these.

 

[Jekyll]

They are fantastic.

 

[JB21]

What spring rates did you go with?

 

[jay182bg]

I went for 9/8kg wondering if I can still run a rear strut brace with these?

[imprezaworks]

For looks I assume?

 

[JamesBryan]

[jay182bg]

Rear ARB does work, rear strut brace does nothing but add weight.

Mark, have you been using them on the road? What are they like?

Thanks
Keith

I've found them to be fantastic on the road. I preferred them to the bilsteins.

Everything about them was great. Price, quality, adjustments, performance, etc. Obviously that's my personal opinion but for what they cost, I'd say they are the best out there in that price range.

 

[masekwm]

Tempted to swap my B14s whilst I move the bits from cup to turbo. Will have to give it some consideration. Thanks

Looking good, how are you finding the 9kg/8k spring rates on the road?

Just knowing what settings now for Combe and if to adjust topmounts or not. Also has eibach camber bolts on front. Will be taking to get corner weighted and set up properly once cage arrives and pms shifter on but will get some vids up. Did well last year and was running crap suspension etc

Maybe try and set the camber up by eye, I done mine by eye with camber bolts and got -2.3ns and -2.4os, lol. Regarding damping, full hard on the rear and middle setting on the front and adjust accordingly throughout the day, if wet middle setting on both and adjust accordingly.

 

[jay182bg]

Lol ok mate will do by eye on that for now. Think ment to be dry sun little cloudy. Got my pms arb set on middle for now aswell. Running r888r tyres so any tips on tyre pressure?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

[JamesBryan]

You want the tyres about 30psi hot, maybe a touch more on the front if you find the sidewall rolling over.

 

[Christopher]

These look great!
No Mk3 fitment?

Another DIY way to set the camber is with a spirit level, its more so to get it even both sides. I run R888's and as James mentioned above 30psi hot pressure all-round is a nice starting point. I set mine cold around 25psi front/27psi rear and after a few laps depending on weather find the fronts need dropping around 2-5psi and the rears 1-3 psi. Again you can play about with pressures for small changes in the way the car handles, see below.

Glad I came across this thread, ready to pull the trigger on buying some of these for a 172 cup, interested in the performance on track with those spring rates on the DRs.

Does anyone know if these are compatible with the PMS front strut and solid mounts? I'm I right to assume the mounts that can be purchased with the BCs offer additional castor (as the PMS ones don't)?

Don't think they offer caster mate no, but makes sense to get the BC topmounts with the coilovers as theyre only £60 extra...

Placed my order this morning...:beers:

Went for 8/8kg springs in the end. Adjustable top mounts etc. I'm now like a kid at Christmas.
