Where is SK?

Nope, we haven't found that the brackets are necessary on the Road and Track kit, as most guys doing track work have changed to braided hoses all the way to the calliper. The brackets are there on the Road Kit of course.

A few comments;

Coil overs can't fix suspension geometry problems when you lower a 200SX too far. Hence it doesn't matter what brand of coil over over you use, anything below the recomended heights will most certainly result in geometry issues. Stick to a sensible height and you will have a great handling vehicle with good ride comfort.

The "metallic noise" previously mentioned was a loose sub woofer crashing around in the boot and the spare wheel well, which had no spare wheel in it.

The bump stops are 80 mm when untrimmed. The trimming ratio is not 1 to 1, we need to have more bump stop available to absorb the impact the lower the chassis is. Otherwise there is potential for the shock to bottom out. The theory (of 1 to 1) means that 80 mm lowering = zero bump stop, which is pretty silly. Obviously we use a ratio for bump stop trimming that is less than 1 to 1.

I have spoken to Chris at Centreline and he is happy that there are no issues with the kit as supplied.

Well, not exactly. My rear is 355mm now and there's still a pretty loud metallic noise when going over hard/high bumps.

Then for the fronts, which is 355mm at the moment, occasionally, I get a little creaking when steering is under stress. Or when going over undulated road surfaces.

Other than that, at the ride height, it's fantastic!

Have you taken it back to Chris to check? Last time he spoke to me, he said it was OK.

Just realised that morph got the "s15 specialized" Noltec Strut top,

while I got the "stock" Noltec ones.

Why?

I also just noticed eron has helper springs on the front strut but I don't hrmm..

+1 to Gary aka Sydneykid he has been very helpful throughout the whole process was a slightly longer wait then expected but deffinately worth it car feels amazing. Haven't had a good chance to try it out at its limit but definitely very happy with this product.

Thanks for all your understanding and help Gary!

Gary,

I've had some trouble with the road kit.

Can you clear your inbox so we can discuss via PM, please?

Thanks

Hey Gary,

Just wondering how you are going with the S13 kit.

thanks

[trivial]

it's already done.

read my review if you want.

Gary if you believe i'm too critical please ask me to revise it. I honestly appreciated your work.

Sorry for the delay in responding, especially to PM's. The video card in my home PC died and it took me 4 days to find out what it was and fix it. So I am about 110 PM's behind at the moment and trying hard to catch up. Add that to the workload at Superior Suspension (12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week) and it will take me a few days to answer everyone.

Hang in there, if you have transferred money, it's safe, I am not going to run off to Brazil with it. You won't miiss out, the Group Buy isn't going to end soon as I have spent some time with Bilstein securing the shock supply for a couple of months at least.

Advanced warning, I am off to the US for 5 weeks from 1st October to 5th November. Checking out some east coast action, Detroit, Chicago, Daytona and the SEMA show in Vegas. So when I don't respond to PM's or emails in that period, I am sure you will understand why.

cheers
