Need new coilovers! Recommendations?

[cantfind1]

Any reason you want a rear coilover setup?

Any of the top brand coilovers are going to be very similar ... but at the end of the day it comes down to the driver ...

To illustrate my point

http://www.performancecar.co.nz/tag/mike-eady

Mike is NZ's head BMW driving instructor and he recently won the North Island endurance racing title for his class beating the likes of factory backed 996 GT3 Cup cars and Ford GT40s to name a few ... and this was on a virtually stock standard car on stock standard brakes with race pads (I shit you not - I know Mike personally and am a great friend with his personal mechanic and I've studied this car up close in person) - the car runs crappy Taiwan made BC coilovers and is never adjusted - never. Other than the cage, seats, and a bastardised exhaust system, the car is stock standard - it even runs a stock ECU after the aftermarket tune caused issues with endurance runs.

I have seen this car in action at the track and it's testiment to BMW's engineering and phenomenal driving skills from Mike (Mike tells me that he has the aircon on when he's racing haha .. and he loves it!!).

Be it Moton, Intrax, high end KWs, Bilsteins or Ohlins ... find the one that you are comfortable with (both in terms of adjustability and damper and rebound range requirements - the rest is up to the setup and driver input).

So basically you are saying all of us have wasted our money modding our cars?! Damn it!:supz:

IMHO the most important part of any well driven car ( modded or not) is the quality of the gasket between the steering wheel and the driver seat :whistle:

No wonder you're so slow if your steering wheel is on the drivers seat. :gayfight:

Well if that´s the case my cars got a rediculously thick gasket!!:thumbs:

So managed to find myself a set of second hand Intrax 4 ways, thanks Shimmy for the heads up!

My question is, any one on here using these, do you have any hints on damper settings?

Have got Julian at Simpsons giving me some settings but any others would be very helpful.

Cheers:thumbs:

DuncanR has 4s.

Is there a great deal of difference in performance between the 1K2's and the 4's?
