supradibbs Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Dont have any info on the but would say that after speaking with Andy Barnes at sumo last week he told me some good stuff He was basically saying that any demestic Jap brand would be extremley harsh ride Went as far to say that the new hipermax for the uk market have been road tested here and will be diffrent from the coilovers sold in japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I believe JIC have a UK service centre. Having said that I genuinely believe the Europeans have the high end damper market cornered, along with Penske in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 He was basically saying that any demestic Jap brand would be extremley harsh ride Even with adjustable dampening etc? Thanks Chris - calling Amber in a mo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Jap dampers usually have insufficient droop travel, too much rebound damping, and are often paired with ludicrous spring rates. They seem to like a car that's very loose at the back, presumably so they can get sideways easily at low speeds, rather than maximise grip and have their accident at a respectable rate of knots.
