Just popped a mail to RS*R to make sure everything is OK. Couple of quick questions for @Moto-P - Will the coil overs arrive with the height settings already set to the 'Moto-P spec' as previously mentioned? - What about the damper settings? Will those be pre-set to a 'Moto-P spec' out of the box as well and/or do you have some personal damper settings that you could share? Thanks again for arranging this! Ryan C.

I'm picking mine up tomorrow, yay!
@Moto-P do you have any recommendations on how to adjust the damper setup - either baseline settings or settings for street vs track? Thanks

(I delayed shipment of mine until I returned from my holidays, so I just received my coilovers earlier this week.)
I was surprised to find a less-than-tight collar on one of mine and find it a bit unexpected that the rear units shipped at the very end of their knob's adjustment range. Has anyone in the group buy taken the various measurements in mm, threads, clicks, etc. for the coilovers between recieving and installing them? I'd love to compare mine to those numbers before installation. Thanks in advance to anyone who happens to have gathered the numbers! |

I figured no one needed it to be any softer than this, while having a full range harder will accommodate for future wear, and also for more aggressive tires or high speed track uses. Having said this, the softer setting is softer than what is specced in Japan to accommodate the bumpier USA roads, as well as less than ideal track surface on our older less pristine raceway. I gave it just enough softer bound settings to cover compliant ride, while not giving it too much rebound compression reduction to keep the tires planted. In some cases the rear wheel may "lift" at times climbing a driveway where rear suspension will float the tire off the ground due to not having enough extension, but this is also a side-effect of having a very short shock dimension by original design of the FR-S. And to make the actual road manners work well, we gave it a lot of travel room on the compression direction and preserving a lot of stroke for even the lowest setting at 40mm below stock for those of you who want things low, or trying to make 19" wheels tuck visually well. There is no such things as one shock set that will work mighty well in ALL cases and application, but we tried out best to accomodate the use for mainly SUnday racers, and enthusiastic road, daily use system. What the RS*R Super-i we designed this time is meant to make the car feel more expensive, by improving on the necessary constraints of the $25,000 automobile, what it couldn't have at this price-tag, and made it so that it is similar in feel and equipment to cars like Cayman and Boxter, M3 and S4 which all have a more expensive mono-tubed compliancy and poise. It's not a balls out racing setup, but simply a way to make our cars more refined as a sports car for the road. Let me know how you like it.

Yep, the MSRP now is at $1799 after lots and lots of convincing and twisting arms... SO you can all enjoy it at the original Group Buy pricing now!
