    They needed a lot of development work Lauren which I wasn't aware of when I bought them. I worked with BAD and Meister to solve one issue but there was another issue which we couldn't resolve. I'm too far from BAD for it to work out with me being the development guinea pig really as it's a 6 hour round trip for me. It's a shame as when they do have them fully developed I think they'll be excellent.

    So in the end I had to give up on the Meister R Gt1's so it's back to suspension hunting now! Think I'm going to give the Tein Flex A's a try.

    Nige's Wide Body Project

    Nige, this is awesome. If you need a shakedown driver... ;-)
  4. I should be up for this I think.
  5. Why I should be selected:- I'm Batman. "It's the GT86 the Drivers club deserves, the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's our GT86. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight." - Lt. James Gordon

    Fingers crossed. When I ordered it said two to three weeks so I'm hoping I'll have it by the end of June at the latest.

    As soon as it's fitted I'll get pictures up. I'd like to pop down and see your project in the flesh, so to speak Nigel, so you can see it fitted. Thank you, I'll look forwards to receiving it.

    Suspension

    Theoretically an even spring rate should give a stiffer front end and softer rear so making the car more likely to understeer. A softer front spring should help keep the car more 'balanced' front to rear and so the handling more neutral. Obviously other settings would effect this such as damper valving, arb rates, etc.

    Suspension

    It's in one of the Japanese parts catalogues I've got.

    Suspension

    I noticed the trd coilovers have a 3.5 front spring but a 5.75 rear.

    Suspension

    I would think 5kg front 6kg rear. The front has an almost 1 motion ratio where as the rear is 0.75 so it effectively reduces the rear spring rate.

    Noise Levels

    I've got a decibel meter which I can bring to a meet sometime?

    Shorter Adjustable Front Drop Links

    Whiteline make some. I used the ones that came with my coilovers when I fitted mine.

    Dammit James you've just made me browse japan parts. I fear this may be expensive... ;-)

    Abbey Motorsport GT86 Development car

    I have -2.5 degrees camber at the front and -2 at the rear. That also feels fine and I've done lots of local and long distance drives with it like that.
  22. Nice pictures as always Will!

    My Silver Project 86

    I have it on mine and I'd agree with Keith, it's very good for the cash - one thing to bear in mind though is it does add a chunk of nvh.

    Totally de-badged with something unique

    Mine are going on soon. About time as I've had them since December!
