[nick///M3]

ok ok...

first of all......

WE DO NOT HAVE HAIRY WOMEN IN GREECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
ever been in Greek islands in summer time?...
well if you don't...... to bad for you guys !!!!!!!:thumbs:
oh and yeah "souvlaki" does kick ass...!!!!



as far as the susp goes...my mistake that i did not point my location...
Greece - Athens = F@cked up roads....

BUT i have driven on stock suspension and frankly did not like it...
i have driven a couple of csl's too...waaay better but still not quite...

Ever driven a GT3 997 guys?
that's the best combo...the car is firm, planted, but you don't hear anything, don't feel like sh!t when going over potholes or train rails....
yet it is so much stable...

Now the tech here says that with the clubsport i will have the same result....
A friend with the nitron - track, said the same....

WHAT THE HECK TO DO !?!?!?!?!?!??!!

i don't track the car but i really really want something good when on the track or on journeys ( in which i tend to kick the car's @ss...)


SO????

any more info on the road behavior?

how about Nitron sport+ ?

i now am running -2 fr/r camber and love it so i want the camber plates....

i would love intrax but more expensive, no one to dial it in, coilover in the back...

At this point the clubsport seems to be in the lead...

I am about to spend 2,5k more on this car which i have already spend more than enough...

sorry to be so annoying but i am depending on your knowledge....:beer:

I have additional plates on the turrets as a temporary measure. Julian at Simpson's is making a proper solution for me. I may develop that into a half cage this Winter, along with some sub-frame strengthening measures. Mine has no signs of the dreaded cracks yet but I thought it better to be pro-active in this area.

I think I'll be doing the same if and when the time comes mate, mine (touch wood!) at the moment is solid as a rock and clean as a whistle underneath, I'm very very tempted on the KW's but would really like Simpson's to be able to set them up!

What strengthening method did you go for on the rear turret's Alex?

You got done there Shim and you know it! :thumbs: :bigcry: :bigcry:

I find my Intrax fine. Lots of adjustment from soft to hard and easy to adjust. Mind you, we have some very fine driving roads here in Wales. That makes a difference.

If it was an every day car or if I lived in a built up area, I'd definately stick to OEM.

After 4 years of ownership in various guises my conclusion is that unless you are doing multiple trackdays and car is not a daily drive STICK TO OEM SUSPENSION.

It is far better suited to UK roads than any aftermarket suspension I have seen. Coilovers at thecrear ovviously have serious warranty issues and potential for refusal of goodwill on subframe cracking and will make the road ride slower and harsher.

I guess thus advice wil fall on deaf ears. I certainly ignored it 2 years ago.

If you do ignore it, try Intrax IK2

I think you will find the KW's to stiff for the road including V3. Stick with oem CSL or if you must then nitron with a soft spring rate, they will tailor there suspension to what you want. Better than KW and very good quality monotube shock rather than twin tube KW.
