The main reason why the back end of any cossie gets light is because the front suspension is far too soft , when you brake under high speeds the wieght is all transfered to front causing the back end to go very light

but when you have proper suspension on the front it stops all this

see this is a misconception with most of you lot mension Bilstein and the first thing you lot say is "bloody hell they are too hard " and yet most of you don't even know what they are like on the car , no offence

Tarmac's start from 400/150 and go up in every 10lbs on bump and rebound all the way up to 650/250

Gravels start from 260/110 up to 380 on the front

and one good bouns with the gravel mag rears that they are light weight magnesuim alloy ..one spring is heavyer than the 2 shocks put together

I dont care what anyone says for what they COSTthey are the best out of all of the normal coilovers ...... i know i have tryed loads of coilovers they either leak/break or bend one of the 3.....


I would only take these of my car if i was to have something like proflex /ohilins/ Reiger all with remote resiviors of corse
