Stay KW or go Intrax / Moton...

I think shim means 140/70 I had on my car,which Alex is running now,surprisingly it didnt feel that much harsher than the 100/50's and ran the car on the road,the KW clubsport felt harsher on the road.

The very ones you're always keen to organise
FYI... there's absolutely nothing wrong with PSS10 for road or track it's like having brand spanking NEW OEM CSL suspension (already a great bit of kit ) with the advantage of ride height and rebound adjust-ability

First post says that it won't be going near a track though, on the road only I'd find that tiresome, fair enough if it is something you put up with on the road with the knowledge that it is better on track. I personally think that is too stiff for road use though especially on a bumpy road in the pissing rain, unless he is going to disconnect his ARBs when nipping out for a pint of milk in the rain

To be honest that sounds pretty much perfect given the requirements in the first post.

Shimmy, I am going down the Nitron route-

We will see.... A, how they compare with your car at Oulton (we can drive eachothers cars to compare for a better comparison)
....................B, how they compare to the KW clubsport that I ran on my previous CSL.

I never had an issue with the KW, but I want to try something different.
Incidently the Nitron I had on my previous evo X seemed better than the KW clubsport on it now.

I was going to go the intrax route, but decided to try the Nitrons.

You pays your money- take your chance.

What are you running on your car? I know intrax, but what kit/spring rates etc.

So, it seems we've come full circle, a RARE moment on this forum I thank you

Mine are two way with steel damper bodies, I think 100F/50R prog springs. They do cope with kerbs very well.

Hi again, the bilstein dampers can be teamed with different springs, paired with intrax springs, your car will be lower than a crack heads morals, paired with oem springs the car will have same ride height, you have choice
As you mentioned in your first post, your car isn't going to be tracked so spending a fortunate on some top notch suspension is pointless.
I've been looking at different suspensions options lately and would probably prefer brand new oem with slightly stiffer front springs to lessen dive under braking and give more direct feeling/connection. Can this be done anyone?
It might not be the fastest around the track, but I only do a handful of TD's a year and I find oem pretty good 99% of the time.
