As to my first 20km test ride can confirm. 8kg front 6kg rear springs. Set on 16 clics from full soft. The car drives like a well damped very controled and complient suspension. Over the worst roadworks we have here, no bouncyness or bumpy ride as per my previous experience with Tein coilovers. Will do further testing on full soft and hard settings, but I will easy use this setup for a daily driven car.
Anyone is welcome to come and test drive my car.

I use 8 front and 6kg rear spings aswell, but i find i cant go softer than 10 clicks .. any softer and if I hit a bump at speed (120kmh) I get to feel exactly how hard those springs are.. fluppen hard. For track i run mine at about 3 towards soft on the front and 4 at the rear. So i dont have alot of damping to play with, but at 8 towards soft its a really sporty / streetable ride, but i wouldnt say cumfy. Im using D2's.
... just my 2c

@ Driftz.... I would have thought u wanted more damping for track use.
Any way, did some of our best and worst roads today (R300 for the capetonians) Have to say I am very impressed. Still have to play arround with full soft and hard damping to see how it performs.
The ride hight straight out of the box is a bit low for my liking, would be perfect for track use. I will lift it about 10mm at the back, maybe a bit at the front also.

Did some S14 work today: Shane's car got some BC coilover suspension, new boost controller, I am fitting Water/meth and Allistair car will get a "hart transplant" and nice BC coilovers. All RB25DET (for now) in various tune.

Even if I have to say so myself........... those 3 S14's do look nice, same but differant.

I have moved my future build of this car to a new topic " RB30DET S14"
