Shockworks Coilovers & BBK

Good suspension is nice hey

Sure is at last, BC's plus setup was a step in the right direction but Shockworks is next level!

Had these fitted to my F6 yesterday and the difference is amazing!

The car always felt like a boat through turns and the body roll was ridiculous.

Now that these have been fitted the car sits flat through turns and bumps are almost unnoticeable. The car doesn't unsettle easily at all. No more boat feeling for me!

Even driving normally, the confort from them makes it seem as though I've still got the factory suspension, however start throwing the car around and they come alive and hold everything tight.

Definately made the right decision getting these over King Springs (never really an option) or other coilovers

bigBADbenny, are you running the standard sways? I know that Shockworks/Owen recommend the stocks one should be used unless one has semi slicks etc.

Im going ad08rs on Wednesday to match the sways...

Stock swaybars!
The Shockworks are valved to suit stock swaybars.
Whilst in practice this may allow for some roll in corners, it's for the benefit of grip, and in practice nothing at all like the roll I eperienced with worn out billies and stock sways.
Even for hitting the track, just dialling up the camber by one degree eg from -2 to -3 is the recommendation.
To do the latter lower camber bolts are required.

I still used stock sways on the track with semis. Just dialed my front camber to -3.5 to compensate the extra grip.

Cool, when I got my Tein S spring (for Shit) fitted as well as some Cusco sways, I kept the original sways.

Knew they would come in handy one day...

Owen, how will the rear units be adjusted for bump/rebound? I think units such as the Ohlins had a cable that poked out of the boot trim.

[owen]

They are adjusted using a knob at the top for the rear and bottom for the front. I leave two clips off my boot trim for easy access.

Hi Owen, just seeing if you received my pm regarding getting a set of these.

Hi Azza, I have. I haven't taken any sea freight deposits yet, just waiting for them to get a little closer as I don't want to hold people's deposits just in case I can't get them out before Xmas. I have made notes and dates of when people confirmed their order so nobody will be left out.

GTBee, your set will be sent via courier on Monday

Hmmm I may have to rely on educated feedback on rear damper settings when I eventually bite the bullet

As I have a large sub taking up majority of the boot space weighing around 65kg gross

In your case I would most likely supply you with the wagon code.

Ok Owen, thanks mate. Can't wait to bolt a set of these on.
