So what does everyone think of the Group Buy coilovers? What type of ride do they give and what type of settings are people running them on?
Only got my rears fitted as engines still not in.
 
If there similar to D2's which ive heard they are (Gary Yuen got a Batch made for the Del sol's aswell) then there no doubt, brill :)
 
chuffed with mine, first time iv had a proper drive with them tonight apart from just around town and the handling is immense. i had the shocks set about half way for stiffness for about a week and have just put them to the softest setting and it feels so much smoother now.

You dont need that mate, i dont not even on the track! Softening the fronts will actually improve handling, by increasing oversteer.
 
to be honest its not as hard as it sounds. As paynee says he fitted his on Softest & enjoys the ride. I dunno if the difference is so visible on Daiyamas as it is on D2's. the Hardest is hard but not ridicoulously hard.... while softest quite literally makes you feel sick & destroys the cars handling.

Gonna try goin down a few notches soon
 
Your suspension must be different to mine then.....the softest on mine is still 50% firmer then stock and certainly dont make me feel sick or destroys the handling.

Remember the extra spring firmness makes the most difference, the shock adjustment just dampens it slightly.
 
Mine came with specific instructions not to adjust the spring seat at all as it can cause problems.

Mine on Full Hardness is enough to give you back ache after long drives & feels every single bump in the road. (Even going over Painted markings)

On fully soft its so bouncy that the car rocks from side to side after turning, kinda makes you feel sea sick. Mind The Shocks & Springs that were on the car before wernt that soft in the 1st place
 
mine r still to go on - next wednesday

counting down.....man i have been missing driving my car
