Hi all,

Thinking about the best setup for a S2 RST, i want it to look nice but really want it to handle well.

Do i go for coilovers?

Do i go for Koni adjustables and -25mm springs?

Is it worth using Powerflex Polybushes?

Is there such thing as a rear strut brace for the RST?

I've heard that over 25mm drops cause understeer - this true?

What are all you lot running?

Cheers

Will

 

GAZ Coilovers all the way IMO

and contact Lee@FusionFabrication and get a nice rear strut brace made up

 

speak to mef off here


i have just brought the whole caboodle off him not fitted yet but will soon

that a set of billy coilovers and adjustable everything (old group a spec stuff)

 

dont get powerflrx bushes, get deflex ones, apparently they supply powerflex
and there half the price

 

I would be VERY VERY surprised if Deflex supply Powerflex. Poweflex are made by their parent company EPTG. People on here have had quality issues with Deflex. Its a case of 'You get what you pay for' IMO.

 

I am pretty confident Deflex DON'T supply Powerflex. I have Powerflex bushes on mine and they are not the same as the Deflex kits....

 

I personally thought powerflex was the company next door to Power Engineering in Uxbridge, and they made their own stuff on site? Could be wrong...

 

ive had powerflex and the quality is shite,maybe i expect too much

rose joints and coilovers all the way

 

when you say shite quality, what do you mean mate?

They split or what?

I'd just rather get it right first time if you know what i mean!

 

Big Will 85, whats the car going to be used for ?

I run all the adjustable Gp A stuff and it's the only way to go if you want it to handle well round corners. The only bushes on my car are the ones the exhaust hangs from

Droping it too low will cause geometry problems yes, plus it will give you extremely rapid tyre wear as you will not have a full footprint on the road unless you can re adjust the settings.

Nat College for Motorsport....... is that Myerscough ??

 

National College for Motorsport is made up of 3 colleges mate, Tresham in Northampton, Oxford & Cherwell in Bicester and Milton Keynes College in Bletchley.

We've all got access to facilities up at silverstone and each college specialises in something a bit different...

I'm at Oxford & Cherwell myself, got an interview with Prodrive on wednesday, so might not be a student for much longer

So what sort of money am i looking at for group A stuff then?

 

Oh, and the car'll be used for general fast road, bit of track and quarter mile stuff

 

just what i heard on the grape vine

 

Thanks for the info on the College's

Good Luck with the interview and prices for the re-manufacturered Gp A stuff can be found in the traders section
