After a lot of debate I have decided that the 1st proper mod I want to carry out is Coilovers I have spent absolutely ages looking into what I want to buy but I need some help.
I have decided that I am going to purchase ZEAL Function S6
A 6-Way Piston Valve Shock (PVS) Dial mechanism adjusts the rebound/compression force with its Piston Valve Shock Technology, Level 1 being the softest and Level 6 being the stiffest. A lightweight, AluminIum Rigid upper mount with rubber bushing decreases noise level and eliminates vibration through absorption. (Strut-type uses Pillow Ball camber adjustable upper mounts for direct feel of suspension motion while helping to decrease piston rod tension). Rubber dust boots protect piston shaft against debris and other forms of damage to help increase life. ID60 SWIFT Spring (Street or Hard rates) maitains stroke and ensures a "seated" fit with upper and lower portions processed to a flat cut. A new and improved lightweight, single, monotube-type, AluminIum-Type Shell Casing Shock Absorber with a very large piston for direct feeling and steering response now also includes a DIV Free Piston inducing more pressure inside the shock and causing less on the spring enabling more responsive movement and a softer, smoother, more natural feel. DIV Free Piston also separates nitrogen gas and oil within chamber for increased life. The Adjustable Shock-Stroke System is a separate, adjustable lower cup/bracket used for height adjustability which eliminates problem of sacrificing stroke and altering spring tension. Spin the mechanism over the threaded shock casing up to lower (and down to raise) vehicle height. All Zeal Function Series systems include this height-adjustable system.
However what Spring Rates Should I Choose ? 12/8 or 14/10
How much would I feel the difference between these 2 set ups?
I had TEIN suspension before and they were utter **** I will never buy TEIN again. The only other setups I would consider are
ZEAL Function B6, ZEAL Function X or possible Ohlins if I could get them.
Car is a daily driver but im looking to take it to the track a few times a year and next year considering going to the Nürburgring.
Thanks Steven
