Spax vs. FK

[Adamm.]

I'll have a hunt for some pictures, will be going for some F1's after lowering as well so definitely don't want the stilts effect lol.

edit, if I went for the cooksport springs could I later fit sachs dampers with the springs?

For a road car im a massive fan of Eibachs and Cup shocks.


Here is my mrs car on that setup at the ring:

YES!!

When I bought my car it had eibach springs on it with nearly new cup shock absorbers, it sat nicely, was a bit harsh but handled sooo welll
Did a 9:40 ish at the ring on them and to be honest the Bilsteins seemed a step down because they were soo much softer. They roll so much my front splitter kept catching at Brands and I had to raise the car just to compensate for the softness of the springs

For the money eibachs + cup shocks work very well!

Think it was about a 9:40 on that video I just posted too funnily enough, on a not totally dry track, on rsr, with bigash (120kg+) as a passenger and I wasnt especially pushing it, should think on 888s and no passenger on a hotter day it would be sub 9 mins with a committed driver.

They felt out of their depth at spa, but for road and ring use they are a really good combination.

Ask Josh is your best bet mate, he's a very approachable guy

Yeah I was on 16's with conti road tyres, passenger and had to slow down for an accident for a bit. I'm 90% sure I could have done a 9:20 while there with a clear run - and that was with a standard engine and full leather interior lol

If I manage to get back again this year on 888's with the new engine I'll be aiming for a sub 9

I wont, I just aim to enjoy myself without pushing it too hard, I save that for UK tracks.

(crashed there hard in 2005, took out 32M of barrier, 6K bill, slowed down since!)

Have you seen the new AST that CookSport are doing for almost as cheap as spax retail money?

I haven't, may be interested once I have sent this kit back

 

[Chip-mk1]

Only just over 650 for the coilover rear version of the spax now from DC by the way.

I have I only just changed over from cup shocks & sportlines. Haven't even had the ride hight set yet. But feels awsome with the spax rsx's. also haven't messed about with settings either. Is there any 1 in the Devon / Somerset that would set them up for me. To maybe make it even better so I can get the most out of the spax.
