FD Suspension Recommendations

[mr_tim]

I want to improve the handling what do you guys recommend for fast road/occasional track use?

[davefrith]

I've got adjustable Ohlins, I really like them if thats any help, firm ride but handle sweet

Chris Wilson in Shropshire is a good guy to speak to regarding suspension, he frequents some lists such as FDUK

Gab do a fantastic set for the fd:D

rgds

And Koni do some pretty good adjustables for the FD.

Beauty of these are that you can buy them just about anywhere.

George Svar..........yeah, him! - uses these I think?

Eibach do a spring and anti roll bar kit as well.

There's plenty of choice out there!

You really need adjustables to mantain good handling for both road and track use.

What do I know though, I'm still running stock.....for now......

I've had Koni on previous cars and to be honest felt that the trade of in ride wasn't backed up by improved handling.

I visited the Euro Ohlins site but they only list for the MX-5. Who sells Ohlins, how much are they and will they be over kill for my proposed usage?

I was after Tein Flex with the EDFC but have heard that they are prone to leaking.

I have driven quite a few FDs with different suspension sey-ups. And I like the Ohlins the best, especially on the road the handling is amazing. I think Lee was impressed, when I took him out for test drive in the white one with the ohlins, just a shame it was only running low boost then!

Impressed - I thought I was going to die (remembering the last time I was in an FD it went the wrong way up!)

I remember saying at the time that I couldnt drive like that - im taking that comment back now im behind the wheel again :D

Hi - I still haven't managed to track down where to get them and how much they are. Any ideas
