Shockworks Coilovers & BBK

[Brunsy3.0]

Just stumbled across this thread and am very impressed. Have been looking around for some time now in preparation of my billies packing it in.

Maybe a silly question but would the H6 being slightly heavier affect spring rates or any settings at all

Though am extremely impressed on the information about the products and if they can handle the same as advertised then they are definitely an affordable quality product

Top job

do these calipers fit under the spec b rims or sti wheels only?

I don't have time to test fit them on my liberty yet. We also need to make an adapter to space out the rears.

This is a very good question and it was one of the first questions that I asked. I was thinking "do we really need to release 4 different sets of dampers? H6 sedan & wagon, 2.0/2.5 sedan & wagon..."

From experience, slight increase or decrease in weight doesn't make a huge difference. For example your weight varies when you have a full tank vs an empty tank. What does matter though is if that extra weight is overhanging the rear axles (wagon). The rear end of a Stagea needed heaps more damping force than the rear end of an R34 Skyline.

Interested in brakes, more detail available???

They measured 6mm slimmer than STI Brembos. Haven't tried to mount my rims yet (although I doubt they will clear due to the amount of dish my rims have)

How many pots Owen?

How many pots Owen?

4 pot front, standard rear but with 340mm rear rotors. They found with the bigger rear calipers it unbalanced the bias too much and was setting off ABS too early.

Brakes have arrived. $2500 free fitting until first shipment runs out.

330mm rotors and forged monoblock calipers

Owen any pics of the spine/bridge & front face of the calipar and piston sizing?

Just finished the EXE club Haunted Hills hill climb day with very a pleasing result. Bone stock 86 with Shockworks coilovers and BBK on street tyres takes first place outright.

COMFORTABLY beating a GT-R, impressive stuff indeed!

Can't wait to hopefully get my mittens on a set of these coilovers
