Springs vs Coilovers

Also applies to RWD, weight transfer to the front when in a high speed corner just causes the rear tyres to lose grip.

Yeah I know, that's why I said depending on the type of vehicle.

I've done 2 defensive driving courses, and a drifting course for them mad skills brah.

I thought braking mid corner in any car caused awkward combinations of oversteer and understeer depending on brake bias?

Tires can only apply a certain amount of grip, and depending on the weight bias of the car (front vs rear) and the weight transfer under braking around a corner, will determine if you will under steer or over steer.

In a DC2, in most circumstances will over steer.

In a BA Falcon, in most circumstances you will under steer.

I know because I've done it with both of these cars.

You also need to take into account the quality of your tires.

Yes it was fail heel and toe. And i dont do this on a daily basis. And yes im a troll bahaha i only come on ozhonda wen about change cars lol, or in the market for a new part. Yes i spun on the ground a few times due to my 'learning'. Since im getting serious about trying to attempt corners at high speed ill be investing money to track soon when i have a 'real' car to track in. 1st two corners were done perfectly that night. I was alone and it was wet in a newly developed industrial area with minimal buildings where roads a 4 lanes wide each side . Fyi public forum oh who cares its online and this happened just over a year ago and im just trolling till i find a car for my gf and bye bye ozhonda till next time i need something might not even come back after this car full license soon lad! *blow off valve sound*

Tread starter go coils man, honestly if you go springs your just wasting good 300 bucks that could go towards a set of coils, personal exp. I was once on a budget doing up cars too. Do it right the 1st time around the secret to saving money and backyard space lol


And oh to the hater, its my life at the end of the day, what do you care if i die (imma die sooner or later)? Will you be at me funeral? ya bud i don't think so.

Hopefully you learn from your mistake and dont endanger yourself or others if you can help it.

Most here like to play the angel angle as if they never did anything dumb in their youth/life but reality is a different matter

I assume you mean me? Well, while it's fair to say that your death wouldn't affect me on any emotional level, your attitude does. People like you dying on the roads gives the rest of us a bad name. I don't want to be considered a moron simply because I drive a Honda, but people like you contribute to the perception that P platers and Honda drivers are a bunch of reckless ****s who simply can't drive for shit.

Hey wats the point of buying a honda if u aren't gonna hit vtec at all, its the high revving thats giving you a 'bad name'. Might as well go buy a camry which gives u the safety and more torque and power lol. Dont come on here and act like you hvnt vtec'd in your car at all, and i have attended Traffic Offenders Program, before you worry about a P plater hoon killing people on the road, think about the drink/drug (normally full licensed) drivers out there mate. You have no idea, do you. Dont just go off what the media tells you, do your own research. Wait ill link you to a stats page if i can find one.




Hmm cant find one + cbf at this time, while i attended TOIP i was advised the major factor of fatal crashes are drink/drug drivers usually fully licensed) majority of p plater fatal crashes being inexperienced was the major factor not speed or hooning. also all the speakers are from the community services ie High way patrol, Fire, ambo, scientist laywers car manufactures and the list goes on.

He's not saying other people don't do shit. He's saying he doesn't want a bad name associated.

1. Learn to read.

2. **** off

What? So all the drunk drivers out there somehow make it more acceptable for you to pose a threat on the road because you were sober? That makes about as much sense as anything else you've said.

And you're really equating hitting a certain rev threshold, and engaging VTEC, with clumsily ****ing up a heel-toe braking manoeuvre and getting your car airborne? Another stupid statement. You've blamed everything from potholes to wet roads, rather than accepting that you can't drive for shit. And you talk as if you're some kind of race driver 'pushing the limits', and that trashing your car makes you a bad-ass. You actually have the audacity to recommend handling modifications to somebody, when you can't even keep your car on the road, and your 'limit-pushing' on the track.

So go on. You said you're trolling, so we're done here. I hope your girlfriend takes better care of her car than you do, and I hope she doesn't get wiped out by the clumsy heel and toe of some wannabe boy racer.

Go make a "Safe Driving" thread in the lounge guys, this has nothing to do with "Springs vs Coilovers".

If u are not a troll, it sounds like you had your accident because you failed to drive to the road conditions. One thing I have learnt is that driving fast on winding roads you don't know can lead to accidents. Push it on familiar roads, much like a race track, you get to know all the bumps and imperfections.

If you knew the road, you would have driven around the pothole instead of losing it. The excuse of heel/toe is rubbish.

You and your car are both very lucky to be alive today. Lesson learned hopefully
