Is there any noise like clunks or bangs or movement?
I never hurts to monitor your other bushes so have a peek under the car. Diff bushes, gearbox & engine mounts, sway bar bushes & links.
its definitely more poised than it was before... mainly bangs when hitting say a join in the road where new/old road meets...
the tyres came back with 40 psi in em, i rectified that...
Yep, JDM billies are indeed valved firmer than AUDM ones. The lower/firmer STi springs adds a little more harshness to the ride.
Just changing my original 112,000km billies to lower km still JDM ones with STi springs has made the car noticeably firmer/harsher.
iits very firm, but i'm loving good roads... just not so many of em here...
Definitely liveable as a daily. After all it is oem suspension. Just highlights our crap roads.
AMEN! the roads are pretty bad here in WA! some nice new stuff. but not much of that!
Mark, do you think its worth looking at the other bushes?? just OEM stuff... rejuvenate, not performance
As per Beckers , Iirc jdm bilsteins have firmer damping.
Maybe give them time to break in
Lets see 10K up to 10yo so they must have been sitting around for a while...
Plus the STi pinks are firmer than stock by around 1kg iirc.
Ha! now where have i see that imofrmation before
