I believe the GT's are the comfy version, I'm not 100% but I think they have rubber top mounts on the rear and pillowball at the front compared to the SP's which are the race spec ones with full pillowball top mounts front and rear.

I have the GT's as the SP's are a little harsh for road use. See link below with info on the system, i should have mine fitted
by next week and will let you know what the ride quality is like. My colleague has them fitted on his GT86 and the ride is very comfy,
would say better than stock.

Hi Guys,

Bit of an update, finally got round to fitting the Hipermax IV GT coilovers, must say i was very impressed!
The ride quality is superb and better than stock. Handling is improved and feels very stable under braking.

On Wednesday I did my first track day in the car at Snetterton, soon realized that I need to improve my braking. Any advice will be appreciated.

Improve your braking or the cars braking dude?

N/A I was fine with ds2500 pads and some decent cooling. First track day with the Hks charger and I trashed the brakes. Been looking at options but anything involves me changing from oem 16's to fit under and the price then rockets as your talking brake kit wheels and tyres.

A Car Limits day might be a good shout ahead of the trip to the ring:

Are you poly bushing the car? Very likely it will need it if not already done.

Good work so far
