Who does your shock tuning? Beyond being adjustable, what are the major differences in damping between the motorsports and the stock dampers? Do the upgraded shocks offer more travel? Thanks, keep up the good videos.
I had ProFlex evo2 inverted coilovers on my Forester, didn't like them as they were too harsh even with very low damping because the bearings make too much friction, even with the appropriate grease as it gets wiped off of the bearings very fast, having no seals to keep them lubricated. I had 22cm front/25cm rear wheel travel. I now have HotBits non-inverted coilovers with approximately the same overall length but gained 2cm of wheel travel. I am very happy with the Hotbits, only downside being the oil seals that worn off/leaked very fast due to a bad design but replaced with U shaped seals. Now for hard rally conditions, the inverted coilovers are much more robust than the non-inverted coilovers but I'm not driving in those conditions....
I was expecting to see a mich longer shock body, with idk... a long helper spring, and a short main spring. Perhaps internal position sensitive shocks? I want to see WRC rally 1 stuff that rides low, but has 12" of droop travel for soaking up big landings.
Would you use a completely different set of suspension for tarmac, or can these be adjusted for both on and off road conditions? Either by adjustment or minimal part swapping?
What’s the service interval on a set of the Reiger Clubmans? Is it 60hrs as mentioned in the servicing video or longer with the more basic damper? I’d like to run something like that on my WRX for street/gravel road use and I’d like it to last 2 yrs between services if possible.
It's a lot stronger and gives you more adjustability. What we use here is specifically designed to function better and last longer on rough and loose surfaces.
What do you recommend for a delivery driver in OKC with constant potholes everywhere in an early 2000's Corolla XRS? My income is completely based on quickness of driving and reliability of my car
Is something like Baratec that much nicer on build quality that Cusco Rally coilovers? not just for the hydraulic bump stops... and with that being said do hydraulic bump stops greatly prevent breaking and long term permanent damage?
How about the coil springs almost same as stocks otherwise material and Via metal treatment some improvement does?? On rally car Front MacPherson Sturt with torsional bar just a Idea myself and I know all wheel independent suspension is used on technical terms for front and rear what types are using in rally?? Let me know
Is there a good place here in the US to buy Reiger suspension? Trying to get ahold of a tarmac set for an R2 Fiesta build and can only find one outlet and hes in the UK
@@Obama___ thanks for the information mate! Can you elaborate a little more? For example, if I raise the height and put coilovers on… what kind of spring should I be using to get a good setup?
Hello guys I want to do rally car myself and I was thinking if the opel vectra not the sedan but the hatchback is a good idea or i should look for different car. Thanks
Haha, not really. If you have a really low budget then maybe, but considering the amount of money you need to put in (safety equipment, suspension upgrades etc) you are better off buying a better car than that. Lots of older awd cars out there that would do you good
I also wish a race engineer would once and for all make a video explaining why stanced cars are the dumbest thing to happen send people thinking the Earth is flat
