Parts:

-Powerflex all round
-Koni sport yellow adjustables
-H&R Suspension spring kit -25/25mm

All parts new.

The car take every bump in the road badly and i believe parts would fell off in the interior... i dont like it at all! I bet std suspension was far better.
There is zero bodyroll.. yes but the comfort is 0 too. I have been try all settings in konis.

 

powerflex bushes stiftens up the suspension. mines lowered 60mm and every uneven part on the road is felt on my ass, zero bodyroll and sticks to the road. its actually good fun.

 

So i have to treat it as hobby car and buy teeth protectors..

 

What do you expect from uprated parts? You tend to loose compfort when uprating to performance parts...you have pretty much changed all of the soft bushed and replaced with hard polly, you have removed soft wallowy dampers and put uprated stiffer items on, and also with the springs...soft items off and (I bet) hard items with different rates on in their place.

If you want to release some compfort back into the ride I'd start by looking at your springrate....you say you have a kit from H&R so look into what you actually bought and how it compares to std springs.....in terms or poundage and spring rate. If possible put your old springs back on for a test...if it rides a bit nicer then look at other springs.

Silly:
Yep i think you are most of the part right what you said. But i have been building cars before and used h&r damper and spring sets but std bushes and ride comfort have been 90% compared to original but handling much better. I have driven lot of cars with koni suspensions and they all worked perfectly. Is rs turbo something different or whats wrong?

I note one problem that i had 2.5 bar of tyre pressure , but tomorrow i will drop it to 1.8 bar (26 psi)

 

Sadly this happens as what was just mentioned try other springs.

I understand that you may not like it, i though it was well wierd when i first brought my car with the kit on, but i got used to it. one thing i should say it, dont get carried away going over speed humps....even with mine some roads in swindon are a no go, i just cant get down the road or gotta time my time.


is your car a daily driver?

 

dont expect to much of a change in stiffness by lowing the psi in the tires. but they shouldn't be over inflated anyway.

 

Nope. RST is hobby car and most of the time garaged. I have beemer 328 coupe for dailydriving and pug cabriolet too.

 

sorry misread your post above, and i see your sig. now.
looks nicecar from what i see in the avatar

 

Hi again!
I put 26psi tyre pressure and bit soften rear konis and now car is nice to drive
