Quantum Racing Suspension

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone heard of Quantum Racing Suspension, the are a UK company that makes suspension for race cars. I have a set of their height and rate adjustable coil-overs. These things are made of aluminum (see "Light as F%#*"), and have spring rates of 10kg/mm (see "Stiff as F%#*").

I have tried the net to little avail, only being featured in Mini Cooper racing. The latest HPI, GTR Special, has an article at the back with the "Trial" GTR have a set.

If anyone knows a seller or website could you please let me know.

Your damm lucky to have a set of these. I have a japanese mag that has them for sale ranging from 325000 to 468000 yen.

All i know is that they are really expensive!

They are manufactured for TRIAL, and TRIAL puts their brand name on them, and resells them.

There are different specs:

F8K/R6K (Street)

F10K/R8K (Circuit)

F10K/R8K (Street)

F12K/R10K (Circuit)

Excellent coilovers. They range in price from 348,000 - 425,000 for R33 GTS-t models.

Thanks for the response Maddness and Merli,

Its good to see that someone else has heard of these coilovers.

Yeah I do feel lucky as I got them pretty cheap off a friend who imports cars. I will have to attempt to get a sticker for it, like on the Trial GTR in HPI.

sorry to dig this thread up, I have a set of these on my 32GTSt, the left rear shocks has just blown a seal. Does anyone know where or who can rebuild them?

I'm hoping that it is possible as the same thing has happened to mine. But I plan on putting something a bit softer inside, there way too stiff, but I love the fact that ther so light:D

[Chris32]

well so far I have contacted these people - www.shockreco.com.au - and I am awaiting a reply. I have also spoken to the guy I got them off, and he is lending me a let of shocks and getting in touch with a place in Melbourne about rebuilding it

Has yours gone a bit clunky as well? I think becasue the oil has come out, the piston is moving about a bit. Hopefully they can be repaired, as they are awesome

I like how hard they are, as with 225x16 on 16x7.5 rims, it makes up for a bit of sidewall flex and makes them grip really well

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Mine were very clunky, I think most of the oil has come out of one of the shocks, will look at the cost of rebuilding all of them vs. the cost of new bilsteins.

[Chris32]

Yeah, I am in pretty well the same boat

I have been quoted $242ea for adjustable Bilstiens, and without checking, hopefully I can use the springs of the Quantums

either way its going to be a bit of a pain in the ass. The way I look at it, is if one has gone, the others must be close, so it might pay for me to get brand new Bilstiens, which are fully re-buildable
