MattP Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Looking for some feedback on these what are they like I currently have Ohlins fitted but they are typical crashy 18 year old japanese dampeners on our English roads. Anybody care to comment on the benefits of CW Bilsteins as Im not into the whole coilover slammed thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have them on my car. It's a personal preference thing really, but I had Tein Mono Flex with EDFC on my last car and I much prefer the CW setup. I would add that mine are also height adjustable which was an additional mod done by the last owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 what springs do you use or are these supplied by CW aswell? are they a nice smooth ride or really bumpy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I didn't buy or install the suspension, it was all done by the previous owner. Have a look here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?299527-My-Single-Supra-Facelift-Gunmetal-Six-Speed-600bhp&highlight=alcon The suspension is firmer than stock, and it's hard to say definitively what impact the suspension has in isolation, as you can see from the above link, I've got strut brace and uprated anti roll bars. I don't find it uncomfortable and it is easily comfortable enough, in my opinion, for daily use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Might be worth messaging DanDan about the setup, although it is also documented on his build thread from a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have them on my car and I find them to be a fantastic set up can't recommend them enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 They don't make the car sit lower do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I had some on my old UK spec. Chris fitted them when he decatted it. That car (on stock 17s) handled incredibly. I had a spirited run with a mate in an Evo from Skegvegas to Lincoln (with my lad in the Evo) and they struggled to keep up on the twisties. I would recommend it in a heartbeat - best handling car I ever had. Then I put 19s on it and ruined it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 They don't make the car sit lower do they? Chris can make it sit lower when he puts them together, if you want, but expect teeth sucking and a lecture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 That's the thing I like my stock ride height so being able to keep it where it is.. Is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2soops Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have them on mine with standard TT springs. I have uprated anti roll bars and had a full geo set up done and the car handles fantastically. Very easy to live with day to day as they are only slightly firmer than stock. Would definitely have no trouble recommending these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
