I thought Teins (RA's and RS's) were good stuff???? What's a better choice...for racing?

 

Scot, I'm sure you'd see benefit from the LSD, however you might not see quite as much as me because your not running stock springs.

2812s are $750 or $800 a corner with no springs. The four way ones I mentioned (2822s) are $1500 (ouch!). When is comes to suspension, there's no such thing as too much testing, I can't imagine the amount of time you'd spend trying to dial in 4 ways at every track.

Bedded in another set of pads and tires today, tomorrow I'll run old tires since it's an afternoon session and save the fresh ones for Wens/Thurs which are morning sessions and should be faster.

 

In what price range? Most of the JDM stuff, Tein included, is total crap for actual on-track performance. There. I said it. Someone prove me wrong by coming to a Speed Ventures event and turning some fast times.

In the mega bucks category, have a look at JRZ/Penske/Moton. All make suitable dampers and you can mix/match spring rates etc. Be prepared to spend $6000+ for a double or triple adjustable setup once you factor in all the extras.

In the slightly less than megabucks category, jlucas seems to be having good luck with his Koni 2812s at $800/corner (sans springs) but I don't know anyone else currently running those.

For a competent street/track car at a price less than $2500 complete, you'd be hard pressed to find anything better than the KW Variant 3.

 

BTW, I've been told there are several Solo National S2000 guys on 2812.

 

sans is one of my favorite french words

 

i paid $1100 for my Tein RA's......slightly used....now almost 2 full racing seasons old with no work......i am waaaay too cheap to spend $3k++++ on suspension.

 

But you'll spend a grand on a diff?

 

Yet you continually complain about getting beat on by civic hybrids this season...so you have multiple threads about what you can do to improve your lap times. So far you've talked about spending money on wheels, on a diff, on a counterfeit Mugen intake, etc.

 

$850 for Kaaz (of course not counting install.....)
$1150 for ATS carbon

 

so what is different/special about the ATS?
