Experiences with HSD coilovers?

**mr_ree** · 10-05-2009 10:59 PM

Was just wondering if anyone has any any experiences with HSD coilovers...whether it is the TT or HR series.

I am in dire need of a new sussy setup ASAP. I was keen on the koni+eibach combo but happened to stumble across the HSD product lineup.

Any thoughts ?

good... but very bumpy for normal driving...

is that with the TT or HR ?

the TT has quite some soft spring rates ....12kg F and 7kg R i think?

I don't think 12 and 7 is soft for the streets.

hmmm...

any good alternatives?

its either that or ill just go with koni yellows + king springs or eibach springs.

better yet ill just go down to otomoto and speak to them.

I have a set of HR series.
They fronts felt alright, but I bought them second hand and found out the rears were seized. So I ended up with Tein coilovers instead.
My suspension guy doesn't like HSD at all. Before I took my set in he swore he would never work with them again. He is a Fulcrum dealer, but I trust him because he was a tech for a Mitsubishi Rally Team.

Ben at otomoto was good to deal with in my experiences.

which Tein coilovers did you settle with? the SS?

at the end of that day though, did you think that it was a good drive? (even though you bought them 2nd hand)

I have Tein Flex.
I can't give a full judgement because the rears were seized. The car only got driven to the workshop and home.

ahhhh i see.
nonetheless i will give HSD TT or even the HR coilovers a go.

if they are sh*t (crosses fingers that they aren't) ill just go with BC n+
