NO limit to funds! What would be your dream daily driver suspension setup?

 

anyone have a setup that they absolutley love that would like to share please post

 

for a budget setup on an actual daily driver H&R sports over Tokico Illuminas with some swaybar setup.

not on this car though

 

if you're not looking for a lowered look, then the itr stock setup is pretty good too

 

opps it says no limit to funds. zeals? too bumpy for most people, but i don't mind haha

 

custom made shocks, after extensive track tunning, reshaped suspension geometry, custom arms, stratospherically bushings all around... and a baby jesus driving

 

My "no-limit" daily driver setup would look something like this:

 

Seriously...I would drive over traffic every day.

 

No springs or swaybars. Computer controlled independent hydraulic "shocks". The knuckles would be fully articulate. And the computer would take in various factors (including tire temps at three points across the surface) to determine the ideal camber, castor, toe, spring rate; independently for each wheel, dynamically throughout the turn.

Basically driving down a bumpy road you'd see the wheels move up and down quite a bit while the chassis stays steady, but then in a turn there'd be no body roll. The ride height would decrease and the car would lean into the turns.

And they all lived happily ever after.

 

And it would weight like 18 bazillion pounds.

But that 18 bazillion pounds would get through turns faster than your honda.

That doe sound pretty dreamy though...

but actually, I'm pretty happy with my suspension setup,
koni yellows/ground control coilvers.
jdm itr rear sway bar

That might be it, but I like it.. still need to do a few things to make it a little nicer, but it will do for now.

Ok, forget hydrolic control. Its never going to be fast enough to compensate for the road at any real speed.

This is what you want instead.

Although:

The regenerative power amplifiers allow power to flow into the linear electromagnetic motor and also allow power to be returned from the motor. For example, when the Bose suspension encounters a pothole, power is used to extend the motor and isolate the vehicle's occupants from the disturbance. On the far side of the pothole, the motor operates as a generator and returns power back through the amplifier. In so doing, the Bose suspension requires less than a third of the power of a typical vehicle's air conditioner system.

I refuse to believe their power estimates until I see it. The regenerative braking process in hybrids were always claimed as insanely efficient, yet the Prius still only manages 35 mpg in real world use for most people.

Tell the designer of the Veyron that.
