In The Club

Quite a few of us on here are running them now mate (Bellato & 1NSANE). I'm very happy with them - pretty sure so are the others. They're matched perfectly to the kings. I rate the ride better than stock on choppy stuff. They still have a sporty feel and handle rebound very well. The car feels planted without feeling every pebble in the road.

The 3yr 60k warranty closed the deal for me. I seriously can't fault them. Unless you're chasing premium handling I think they're hard to beat.

f*ck it I am sold.<br /><br />Was originally wanting a boy racer feel like my EL (custom springs, bilsteins and whiteline swaybars - handled so well for what it was 6 years ago but was tiresome on the choppy stuff) however have now decided comfort is where it's at. And more dollars for other chit. Like <br />

Haha they tried to sell me rda as well but I made them order in dba.

QFM are bloody awesome. They weren't due to run off another batch of the rear HPX pads for about a month. But, made me a set today. Now that's customer service. All fitted and bed in now Hi-Torque advised my new braided hoses have shown up this arvo. Still waiting on a price for the rotors.

I had thrown a set of these in my last GTS. It was up to 120k and I was selling it to a friend. Thought Id do him a favour before I gave it to him.. I didnt rate them.

They were matched to king springs by the way. But admittedly it was probably a little bit too low

Good shocks are so critical.. more than any mod you could do

^^^ probably a Expensive Daewoo thing - they're sh*t, lol.

[jimmixr]

agreed...

They just felt less controlled than the 120k old shocks I was replacing..

Just to hijack I'm running sssl front and ssssl rear with monroe sports on 20's with not a whole lot of tyre and It's the same as it was stock on 19's. The stock suspension is quite stiff, a bit of an improvement performance wise over B series but lost a bit of its ride comfort. Definitely rate the monroe's for a street car. Can't comment on how they are for track though

Got my safebrake hose kit today. Looks to be good quality. Just need my rotors now.

Organised rotors today. Ended up going the 'povo' option with RDA slotted. Race brakes in Sydney are doing them insanely cheap atm. $250 delivery for all four! I know the DBA T3's are better quality but for my application, it's pretty hard to justify near $500 extra.
