Try Autoquip.

That being said, saw a track test of RGM's SC 86 with Eibach springs on Supersport - they said it pretty much ruined the handling and character of the chassis.

mmmm now thats a tough choice.. the car is so much fun standard.. wish that gap was less!

My advice is to just wait a bit, and see if you feel the same in a few months time...

I was also very gung-ho to do lowering springs, and I'm so glad that I didn't. I've learnt to live with the wheel gap, and I realise that even 1" lower would be a PITA with speedbumps, driveways, etc.

IMO, the stock suspension is amazing. I frequently track my car, and I won't be changing anything.

sav's right about RGM's 86. They put in Eibach springs and tested it at Midvaal where it performed very poorly (I was told this by Rob and the guys at Midvaal on seperate occasions). I think that they've since got it sorted out because when I last saw their car at Zwartkops in May, it seemed to be handling fine. Dunno if they went back to stock suspension though.

I've got them on my car and think they are great, it is a bit harder for sure but not hugely, really tightens up everything, handles superbly and doesnt feel out of balance at all. Of course it improves the look hugely as well. Have to reverse out my driveway now but normal speedbumps are OK. I found the review on Supersport absolutely bizarre and absolutely nothing like my own experience FWIW. It was also a very strange track test, I thought he was going to stall going round one of the corners he was going so slow

The ride might be a bit stiff for "normal road users" whatever they are... Rob reckons part of the problem was the Bridgestone tyres that they had just put on their car. Have another chat with Rob, seems the reviewer didn't want to give the car back, but then gave it a strange review.

They went with Bilstein coilovers.

They had to blame something when RMS's SC 86 ran circles around them, and RMS are also running eibach the last time i chatted to them at SwartKops

ps. i am also running the pro kit, and if anything the car slides much easier and is 10 times more stable

What lap times did RMS do?

Agree 100% with your comments on the pro kit
