Value oriented? Value is subjective. I'll pay a premium for good dampers, and have spent the dollars. Others, not so much. Everyone wants to defending their choice of suspension, but the majority have never experienced anything that's seriously good.
I am a bit jealous of @ ImperiousRex's setup... especially after dialing it in this weekend. Every time I dial in one of those, it's super easy. Don't have to keep going back and forth to try to find the best compromise between settings; I can just set it the way it needs to be set on the first go. |
Wow, deflection and redirection all in one answer. I'm not sure if you should be a politician or write for Penn & Teller.
Everyone keeps expecting this thread to turn to people justifying their setup, after having never driven anything else. So, here goes. I went with RCE and stock dampers, and here's why. My FRS even on the stock tires was way too bumpstoptastic. This destroyed my confidence while pushing the car. So, given that my car is a DD, I wanted to stiffing up the front end a bunch, without destroying the ride or the factory dampers, and without going too low that I had to worry about what I was driving over. After looking around, RCE's seemed right for what I wanted.
I wanted to stick with the stock dampers because I'm waiting for Bilstein to come out with a non adjustable, drop in damper setup. Something that I can get rebuilt locally and I don't have to worry about adjusting. Again, it's a DD, I just want it to work.
Finally, I figured if I found the car pushed too much with the RCE's there's plenty of sway bar options to chose from, I could tune the nature of the car with them.
Now, please critique.
