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

  • Like 2

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
