Hi Guys,

Just intrigued to what Shocks/Srings our ERST are on and what "mm" theyve been lowered, whether your on Adjustables to Standard Ford Shocks??? Also what size alloys you have to match the suspension, i.e std RST alloys or 17" RS 7 spokes etc

Thanks,

Sheppy.

*EDIT* Was thinking, dont go crazy with the .resolution of the photos but about 640 x 480 - 800 x 600 max! Edit your original posts with pictures so people can compare and see what it looks like riding at different heights

Heres me - standard springs and shocks with RS 7 Soft Spokes - 17":

Im standard at the mo but either going to go Spax adjustables and go 40mm or Gaz coilovers (bit expensive though - £500). Im on RS 7 Spoke 17" but want to go to Standard 15" ERST alloy's.

Koni adjustables with a 25mm drop all round

Shep_Cobain

what the handling like Chris?

Chris69

very impressive once you play with the hardness to get it feeling right, is very controllable/neutral on the limit but can be a bit harsh day to day mate.
only kit to have on your s2 rst imo if budget allows!

nigel b

not sure
i think it used to be 300ish
they will be getting stiffer soon

nope,even with a boot full of stereo stuff

Shep_Cobain

lol, i may get spax but for £50 more been offered GAZ's brand new

Linsay

GAZ coilovers - speak to GAZ about speccing springs, they were really helpful with me
The standard rears were too soft for track use

i would never go back to Koni's

koni's



GAZ

whats it handle like on the road ????.

hows it set up ie how much is it lowered etc ????.

what poundage springs did you go for ????.

cheers

dave

Linsay

it handled fine on the GAZ std issue springs and i would probably have them on the softest setting if i used the car a lot

I went for quite hard springs on the rear for the trackdays and it's not very nice anymore. I think that they are 200 or 220lb springs, but they made the car handle awesome and it doesn't go light on the front anymore

i'm not sure how much it is lowered, but have seen it next to Pagey's and mine looks really tall, so i'm guessing it's not much
i had to have it reasonably high as i can't get on my drive

vroooom ptssssh

I think im goin for Gaz silver!

Linsay

i've got GAZ blacks lol i asked for them to be done in black to match everything else

i could only get the usual ones when i bought mine - what are the new ones like?


PS Switchblade, this was mine under acceleration with the GAZ std springs, it used to feel all light on the front

vroooom ptssssh

lol, just to be different!

Gaz Gold you can adjust the rebound or something like that, not entierly sure!

so basically if your rst is powerfull your as well with a higher poundage on the rear? but it doesnt feel as good?

Linsay

lol i was drunk at the Autosport show and spent about half an hour at the GAZ stand asking what i could have
The chrome ones looked good, but nothing is shiney on my car

hmmm might go for the golds at some point, but i'm happy enough with these


Pretty much i still drive the car a lot, i've used it for work all week and compared with some of the lowered rst's on big wheels i've been in, it's probably similar. Just bangs a bit on the back

i also went from the 6" gaz springs to 10" springs to stop the rear squatting

koni's with a 35mm drop, polly bushed all round , front and rear sturt braces and 16" ecosy wheels on it .handles like its on rails!

Might just go with:



£421.99 inc VAT Spax adjustible upto 40mm

Chris69

If your going coilovers read the ebay ad mate, there not just a simple bolt and go affair you have to make a few mods regarding the strength if the top mount- i think theres more mods needed aswell but i'm sure somebody will clarify
