I've had very good feedback from friends of mine regarding IDOL ( http://www.idol-motorsport.de ) when it comes to suspension, so I decided to send an e-mail for some information and I always got a fast reply from them. I could choose the setup I would like for my suspension, in my case I told them what I wanted my car for and he choose the setup for me.

The suspension arrived last week and it was very well packed.

Nice bed cover


Dual spring


Let me say the car handle is AWESOME , no body roll and I still have some comfort, cannot wait to take it to the track.
They have both steel version coilver and aluminum but since portuguese roads are terrible i went with the steel version, but even this one is lighter than the stock suspension.
I recommend this suspension
Thanks for a great costumer service and amazing suspension

P.S- Since you don't know any of my friends you can take Sven's word for it the suspension rocks.

 

not sure if anybody noticed this, but this coilover kit comes with eibach ERS springs.. so one would assume that you can change the springs to a custom rate if you wanted to.. i didn't know that any coilover kit out there used ERS springs (i'm not talking about something like GC coilover sleeves, but full coilover)

 

You my idol

What are the spring rates?

 

What are the spring rates on those?

BTW: Nice sheets

 

im running 16k/F and 12K/R

Here's an old product page I had for Idol. You can see some more of their offerings:

http://hogens.com/idol/

 

red type r.. lots of those poping up lately on honda-tech

 

They have the right springs

 

y0, are those American Idols. har har get it.??

 

I like the red R's. You need to get those rims cleaned and refinished.

 

IDOL always seem to deliver high quality stuff.

If you don't mind saying: How much did the coilovers cost?
And are they "road leagal"? Like TüV-approved or something?

 

Tks
The wheels are just dirty those marks are not scratches
Well to be honest i do not know if they are road legal maybe Sven can answer that.
Regarding the price i paid 1200 € euros with shipping and key included , since the euro and the USD is pretty much the same it should be a really small difference.
For a great quality coilover and price

 

Nice suspension, but I would prefer 8kg F and 6kg R together with KONI yellows for street/track application.

 

This is a weekend car only so i´m ok with this setup

 

looks nice
i wish i had some sus i am rolling stock y0

 

that coil over looks really good quality compared to those ebay coils i always see lol.

 

Here's a link to their web page with more info on all their products: http://www.idol-motorsport.de/index.html

That carbon fiber hood they produce is really light, only 3400 gram, thats 7,5 lbs

 

It´s funny how people take a very long time to see the light.
