Which Suspension?

Ok here is the deal. I want the closest thing to an all out race suspension that I can drive on the street. I'm not a big wuss so comfort is of no concern to me. I put around 32,000mi a year on the R.

Closest to an all out race suspension?

I'm sure you can find something cheaper but ...

Nothing like remote reservoirs.

Oh yeah ... my serious vote is probably the Zeal B6s within your choices since that's the one I'd consider personally (budgets and all ... hehehe). Either that or a Truechoice suspension (I'd consider this more myself if/when I find out if the ITR rear Konis they use have a external adjustment). One of these days when I have the money.

You could always convert to GSR rear control arms.

DOH! Rear Koni's for GS-Rs have an external adjustment system? Boo on them for not having that feature for ITR shocks.

TC does use externally adjustables for ITR's. You need to tell them to throw in the tube while they are revalving. I run on TC coilovers w/ externally adjustable singles.

Re: Which Suspension? (Warren)

unless you're a pure track racer i say go with teh TEIN HA with pillow ball mounts. i was going to get the ZEAL function B6 but they were 200 more and from what a guy i know says they're almost the same as the TEIN HA performance wise. I was going to get the RA's but i drive my car daily so those IMO are a lil too stiff for street use. i got the HA's with the upper pillow ball mounts and i know i can hit a G with them on. i just need better tires ;[.

Re: Which Suspension? (owen_the_soyboy)

B6 and S6 has the same dampering but S6 does come with SWIFT lightweight spring.

Buddyclub has superior dampering but if you are for track usuage I would suggest you to go with BC or Spoon N1 dampers.

Re: Which Suspension? (AJ PwR)

Besides the Buddy Club being really stiff, are there any side effects to running them on the street?

Tein HA or the new Tein FLEX are both very nice.

Re: Which Suspension? (RacingE_Teg)

I have been running these Super Function for years and I love them but I really missed my Buddyclub dampers that I used to have.

Anyways, I will go for the P.1 Racing dampers in the future.
