yeah, they're good stuff - was the first mod I did to it 4 years ago and still going strong.

BCs on my GTR started knocking after like 10 months

i know someone that had teins on his FG and bent the lower mount where it joins to the hub bit..

Hahaha yeah no, don't do this.

Why not?

In all my internets, I have yet to see any product ever reviewed better than Shockworks suspension on Fords

Maybe its cause Fords handle uh, interestingly from the factory, or its Ford owners not expecting such a result.

But seriously, people act like they're the second coming of Christ, people fapping over Racepace built whatever comes nothing to the amount of praise that I read regarding these things on fords

While you are correct, all the praise I've seen are from dudes who own S13s or AE86s or similar on chopped springs so it's a HUGE upgrade for them, same story with the Fords. I'm yet to be impressed by a set yet, always been a let down unfortunately. That's not to say that cars can't be transformed with Shockworks coilovers, I just don't think they deserve the massive following that the drifters rant on about, in my experience anyway.

True, I was just always curious what would happen if someone put some serious thought into making a XR6T or GS actually handle, with some track oriented suspension.

Like a Supra (which CAN HANDLE, there's vids of people doing John Richardsonesque times at Winton in them) I wonder if its a "Culture of ford owner" problem instead of the car itself, cause noone's really given it a big try.

As for Shockworks, heard different things about them. Housemate has a set in his S15 and every person who's ever been in it pretty much reckons they are the shit. (these are not drift spec mind you). I doubt really there's a 6 second a lap difference between Shockworks and MCA and Tien's and Cusco and BC's mind you, probably relies a lot more on the dude sitting in the seat than the specific brand of coilover chosen once you have any of the more highly regarded sets

I'd say reasonably, he's got a quite a few engines on the cards. I'd imagine he could do it sometime next week or the following though.

No rush on it, just need a touch up tune sometime.

It absolutely is a culture thing, people don't usually buy them with the intention of tracking.. just quick street cars.

This is what you CAN do to them once it's intercooled (mods I listed before) with the right track pads / suspension

He came first in his class and 7th overall out of 120 cars @ Sandown 1:25 in the vid

btw he runs shockworks too so they must be arlight..

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
