Ride comfort will differ depending on spring stiffness and weight of car. Friend I bought the sussy off, said the ride comfort was more bumpy on the same setting in his ITR compared to my vtir

um, it might also depend on how comfortable the seats are too, (unless the VTiR had Type R seats in it...)

i'd say in a comparison between a VTiR and Type R - the seats would have more effect on percieved 'comfort' and 'bumpyness' than the difference in weight...

so your implying the vtir seats are more comfy than the recaros

yep exactly, this is referred to a "pre-load" it is a very bad thing...

Make sure when you set our coilovers that the spring isnt compressed. I was a noobie and i used the middle thread thingys to adjust my suspension. It was bouncy and had alot of after bounce? I fixed the problem and adjusted the suspension from the bottom part, man was it comfortable afterwards. I set it to F1/R1 and it soo nice to drive around.

How tight do you compress the spring?
you say it should have no "pre-load" so that means just tighten it so it just touches? I mean, if it doesn't touch, the spring would be loose right?
pls enlighten me becos i have never used coilovers and about to pick up a set.

Thanks in advance

yep - it should be *just* tight so that there is no up/down movement of the spring when the car is up off the ground, (that is, the spring is known as "captive")

but there should be no tension on the spring, so you should be able to move it side to side or spin it with a bit of effort...

hope this helps

yes, i think it is the construction of the seats...

when i get in a type r, i feel the seats firmness compared to my vtir... and think - wow these type r's feel *tight y0!*

(where in fact, the *tight* feeling mostly comes from the Recaro, rather than the chassis)

but then i put my Sparco race seat for track days, and feel like i am bolted to a go-kart...

i love the feeling of my car on a track day. it is hard, harsh and uncomfortable!

cool. Can't wait to get to the track some day to test out the higher settings lol.

maybe a different topic....but what psi are you running your tyres on?.....i just had a wheel alignment and after i filled up today i checked tyre pressure ..the wheel alignment guy has pumped my tyres to 38psi on all four. I had set it at 34 front and 32 rear before hand.
I was just wondering what would be the optimum psi to have my tyres on...with relation to the cusco zero 2z i have?
