Different approaches for different applications, I've experimented with both as I'm sure you have. For those interested in the theory behind it all, the papers in the spring and damper section found here ( http://www.optimumg.com/technical/technical-papers/) goes into a little more depth, but the approach is sound. 1- Determine target undamped freq. 2- Determine spring rate to reach this. 3- Use swaybars to set balance and/or remove remaining [undesirable] roll. -R.

Over the past nine years i've used and recommended (in order of preference, due to consistency and location): 1- Traction 2- Trackside 3- Centreline

Out of curiosity, aside from the voting process, how is succession planning done? i.e.: if the President feels they only have one year left in them, are they proactively switched with the VP if the club agrees?

If I were in NSW, I'd use them.

Compression stroke is a little f**ked in my fronts. Have you put yours on a shock dyno?

Only challenge there is that Gary Cook is based in NSW and I'm down to one car, attempting to minimise down time by using a local engineer.

G'day, As SAU has always had a reasonable Bilstein user population, figured it's worth asking here- Who has had their PSS/PSS10/PSS9 etc. tweaked in Australia? Local options for Victorians are: - Gary Baker of Baker Bros Engineering (well known in rally) - Brett O'Brien of Shockworks (formerly Delphi etc.) - Quadrant (pass, crap attitudes) - Others? Reason for rebuild/revalve: - Spring rates have changed - Over 70k km have passed Feedback is appreciated. Ryan

BMW do the same thing, rip it out.

Manufacturer of shock?

Access to Sandown, Calder, PI? A lot of that can be automated with Xero or similar. (MYOB seem to be in catchup mode!)

I spent the day trying to work out where I'd seen your plate before. /fail First time with the 1er on the track, I now appreciate why everyone says they understeer horribly.

They correctly aligned my car last time I took it in. I have non-standard geometry.

Thank you Marc.

The PSS9 has a flawed adjuster and has been replaced by the B16 PSS10. The B14 PSS is likely a better option than the PSS9 as the savings allow for linear springs and camber tops. The B8 is of the same design as the B6 although with a shorter stroke to suit lowering springs. Agreed, that's exactly why I run them. I've owned Koni, Kings, Tokico etc, and am on my third car with Bilsteins. Reliability and consistency being the key reasons. I know I can drive a couple of hundred kms on gravel roads per month and still have a functional shock. If they die, I can drive 8minutes down the road to Brett O'Brien of shock works and get them rebuilt to whatever rates we see fit, knowing components are likely on hand at the distributor who is another 20 minutes away. It's often not that simple with the cheapo BC/Tein stuff.

Hi, From: RB_Ryan To: _Ryan_ Thanks.

Or a full license.

[VIC] Who owns the white C34 S2 with custom plates, 4f**** ? They were checking me out on Friday afternoon.

correct, he went to Cuscos. Nope, and sometimes onshore they would measure from the wrong side of the bar bwahahaha

Fair enough. I've owned whiteline bars on diff cars, had fitment issues on them all.

THIS GUY GOT IT IN ONE

Cusco are lighter and a better fit- if you can find them.

Yes, because Victorian Police make the decision, not the politicians and bean counters?
