I've never driven in a car with progressive springs... All I heard was to avoid them for track work.

I've got Kings on Bilsteins & cant fault them.

Not like any of us do enough track-work to blame performance on springs anyways haha

I had tien progressives on mine first time round with new shocks.

They were awful. Crashed about on the street then got all floaty when pushed had on the track

Worst of both worlds

Moved to my coilovers. Slightly more comfy on street and so much better on track

yeah ive got teins but the thing is, the thing has no traction in 2nd or 3rd gear with 280kw.

the thing hardly squats

Dude you've got base model Teins that are all rusted and flogged out because they're 20+ years old.......

"Yeah but I've got Teins"

Edit: Oh and don't let me forget your second hand "Semi Slicks" !

Bc it is

The Toyos were great when warm, not so much on the street lol

haha all round,

this one time i had ku36s on the back and federals on the front, doing a u turn with johno and the car went straight lmao

do you have any suspension work done to the car? Swaybars, camber, castor adjustments?

Swaybars make a massive improvement in understeering/oversteering.

Achilles all around > old semis

I call bullshit on this..

went from the old R888 to Achilles 123 Sport (their supposedly track tyres)

grip level dropped so fast it was not funny.

just ended up spinning tyres out of every corner.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
