StarletRick Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 they are pretty good handling wise, but the ride is really uncomfortable. i had them and got rid of them for fear of a crumpled spine in later life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slower82 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 thats alright, sounds ideal for the track Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 it is perfect,but, for road its horse shit. depends on what you need. i wouldnt recommend them for a daily driver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryno Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 had them in my daily driver for 2years, they are 'firm' but thats just down to the springs which are changable if you find them too stiff.tbh i have nothing but praise for them, you get use to them, i love my set-up to be hard and i loved every second of them, thats coming from someone that lives in the middle of no where on some propper shitty b-roads best thng i got for the GT and it completly changed the handling for the better! helped keep me to the road like no-ones business!for the money you'll be hard pushed to find anything close to what you get and they are fully adjustable if you decide you fancy a change or want some track action.you'll get alot of people that say they are shit, but thats BS, most people just moan about them being too stiff which as i said is down to the springs, not the coilovers as a whole.

RobSR Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 i thought the the first ones were really hard and uncomfortable, but the spec 2's were loads better?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 can't comment on the second gen ones, i had the first gen RAW badboys i got mine from Impulse Performance when D2's were a new name in the scene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big_T-SR Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well, i have a set of the second gen and they're great, too soft IMO at the beggening, so i changed the preload (the amount the springs bounce) and i love it. I keep the damper setting to the soft side so its a nice comfy ride but the preload lets me stay vertical when i go round any courner. With all Coilovers really its about setting it to your own preferences, anything can be personalised. However, i know the First gen were/are alot harsher than the second as shelly has them, and she had to change the springs to make it less harsh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slower82 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 ive been speeking to enzo about suspension and brakes and hes got me think back to what i really want which is buddy club racing spec coilovers, so iam to sure at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 can't comment on the second gen ones, i had the first gen RAW badboys i got mine from Impulse Performance when D2's were a new name in the scene.Same here For the money they are top notch IMO Mine is a daily driver but I have got used to it, just forget about the ride quality and think about the next corner BuddyClubs WILL break your back!!!!
