Ryno Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 i use some of the shittest roads everyday, single track country lanes which should of been re-surfaced years ago and with pot holes you could lose a tractor down, coilovers were the best thing i've ever used on them, end of the day if you want cumfort then buy a cushion, if you want your starlet to stay on the road and have a decent ride then get coilovers Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 indeed she does SNAPS!!!!Now back to suspension chat....the nanglewagon fancies D2s!Phil. Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I have to agree that coilovers are the way forward, no matter how hard or soft they are.Thats if you want to get the best out of your car regardless of comfort. They are certainly bearable and I have the same harsh single country roads that Ryno mentioned.Decent shocks and springs in the world wont compare to the full limit good coilys can take imo when cornering hard.I also think that you get truer road feel. Saying this, they only come into their own once you start to pick up speed where you get the real benefits.The starlet is not particularly made for straight roads (unless you are building a dragstrip monster) so coilovers give you a real advantage on hard & fast cornering say70-100mph depending on the type of corner. Of course coilovers alone wont get you this ability without the rest of the suspension setup and balls of steel I say this being my mates vti with the s+s setup, the ride is bumpier and also he cant take corners as harshly w/o braking. I would say his shocks are similar to Konis.Coming from a handling junky, I wont be satisfied until I have an even stiffer ride.Very good group buy on Whiteline Gear ending soon >> Whiteline GBOn a lighter note, here's those t-shirts >>Get your T-Shirts!They are all selling really fast!!Joz Link to post Share on other sites
