First of all, thanks for Option fans on the review on coilovers so make u go for this coilover instead of GAB
:thumbsup:
I got my HKS CCpmact installed on Friday. I got this kit MYSELF in HK which is so troublesome as carrying 20kg+ on the street to the post office is not a funny thing. It cost me around the same price than got it from ozhonda trader in HK. I paid $130 for install and wheel alignment (paid in advance as I havent done any alignment yet)
:rolleyes:
I have them set to about two finer at front and 1 finger at rear. These things ride great. It is the most comfort coilover kit i even tried as I was really expecting worse. I would say on the small bumps they ride better than stock. Only when hitting a railroad tracks do you notice that anything is different. It was dry out that day so I couldn't get a great feel for how they corner. What I did notice was that it is much faster to change direction. When in an S turn the car switches direction much more quicker. It's very nice. That was the feeling that I was looking for. Quick in transition and small amounts of body roll.
:D
However, my tyres scratches my rear aftermarket bar as I have set it too low so I will reset it back to 2 fingers at the rear when I get my alignment done. Also camber is now going positive which affect a lot on handling is I am planning to get Pedders Camber Pins kit (thx for advise from Danny)
:p
This is my first impression of the suspension after driving about 2 days drive in dry conditions.
:wave:
NOTE: All my struct bars havent been installed so I believe it is pretty impressed with just having the coilover plus my lovely recaro in.
Pictures are in my pictures' gallery and I will link some up for those who are too lazy to click the link. =) :o
