Nice gear! I hope you're going to be racing on those coilovers, they look like major overkill for street driving.

Very nice set up bro, I'm liking. How much did your brake kit set you back bro?

I have the Tein Flex and loving the handling on those as well. My set up is Front=14, Rear= 16
and the handling is good. Let me know about the brake kit bro. Thanks. And Nice suspension.

The Ap 4 pot kit is really nice. Im using Goodridge lines which has allowed for more brake pedal travel stock pedal was a little restrictive so to speak....

Brake shop told me to not get the brake system to hot for a couple of weekends so im not really stomping on them yet..,.

Im off to my mechanic to fit the BC RS dampers I'll keep you guys in the know

The AP kit looks...well...just plain badass

I have managed to install the BC RS dampers with the help of two other people and I'll just say it was quite time consuming But all is well and I have been driving around with the dampers for a couple of hours.

My impressions are that the BC dampers are stiff....very very stiff.....but the cornering is bloody hardcore....im still tuning the suspension but I was amazed at how much cornering improved over my stock/spoon spring setup.

The BC Dampers are worth every cent

Cheers

Michael

PS: I'm very keen to see how the brakes and dampers go around the track

I noticed the same thing when I installed my Teins. My car turns on a dime now and the steering feels solid now. Before the my car would sway a little and not be as smooth in the turns, but now with the Flex it is amazing. I want to add progressive sway bars ti stiffen up the car a bit and then go from there. Good luck bro and let us know how it goes and where you have your settings at.

its nice to have the system set on pretty stiff..however I'd try to stay below at least 12 if you want those shock/dampers to last....to reservice them will cost you around 170$

Ill post a more detailed review once I finalise tuning of the dampers. Also my steering wheel is at a slight angle - i need alignment

But for now there is NO bodyroll and the car can take corners, flat foot, even if you dont take the right line and still have some more left in them (most I tried so far is 3rd gear @ 8K RPM flat foot, on a medium turn)

I'll keep you guys in the loop. But the dampers were worth the extra cash. Hmmm I couldve nearly bought 2 Tein HA for DC5 for the price...
