John's Suspension - Poll


Closure is a great thing. The poll closed 1 month ago. The R-Magic Ohlins suspension was tied on 4 points with the vague "Other". What was "Other" and was it worth looking into. We waited...

Finally, John found a suitable "Other" to represent the 4 point tie breaker. The final choice he made is this. I'm really looking forward to a review and a drive. He also got an aggressive (but blessed) track alignment to go with it!

For the love of god... not Koni. I have said enough. John is prob American haha. Sorry John. I drove the Koni on the track and not impressed by it. Even my Tein is better and you have lots of choices in the list, all are better in my humble opinion. Forget TeamRX8 on the .com site. He is full of it.

Taka - are you stirring? LOL... I haven't driven John's (English) car yet with his new suspension so can't comment on it.

Reasons for choosing it above the others though depend on the person. In this case, Koni's have long life and don't need constant overhauls like some other suspensions. They seem to be a good cross between Track and street. They were a decent price. HYPER REV magazine preferred them over MazdaSpeed and Autoexe (my ones). D-Technique sells them and those guys know a lot about suspension setups. So all things included, I think it was a good choice at this stage. Only time will tell. John hits the track 9/11 with the new setup. I'm sure he'll be smiling :-)
