Only ever lost traction... pushing it on a roundabout testing strut braces. The other... Craniac was following. Lets just say I had the beefwhore sideways, but I had to check my undies. Otherwise yeah, its pretty hard to get the Auto slipping. I usually drive like a granny, only ever push it a bit off a local roundabout (literally 0-100 zone).

Oh shit new MCM, onto it.

Apparently they can't make it any lower atm, due to no one making a kit for it yet? That was their explanation anyway. It is a whale of a thing.

I like his comments about power in the usable range. I hate turbo lag. But yes, needs a turbo change to reach the motors potential for sure :)

This will lower it and give it the power it needs.

Seems kinda like a pointless upgrade to lower it as much as they did though. Because it still sits quite high!


Oh well. His car, can do whatever. What's the ep like? The blue turd one was good! I find their episodes quite hit and miss at the moment!

Coilovers are really the only way to get it lower. I believe it's in the pipeline

How would coilovers fair on rough dirt roads?
Not ride quality just wear and tear etc. Are they just for track/street or can they be taken off road without to much worry about damaging them?

Rally cars use coilovers.

Hope this helps.

Coil overs can be very, very different in application though.

Generally what people talk about when they say they have coil overs in their street car, would be a nightmare on gravel, unless they are set up very well.

Yup.

For example Renny, they wouldn't use Tein street coilovers on the dirt.

They will break your spine and you will end up with retarded children.

Get some coilovers like this:

One day I will test mine on dirt.

One day I'll also fix the ride height and actually see what different dampening settings does!
