    Hyundai RN22E (upcoming IONIQ 5 N testbed)

    Just don't take my posts literally, in this case ;) The thing I found funny how he wears harness in this video, do not In any means lower the guys qualities. And I do not hear any other EV cars here much (esp Lexus and Toyota hybrids are OK-ish). Enyaq was the first one I find annoying, so I...

    UltraRed 200 FF CUP - Weekend warrior

    I got the theory, but I would like to see some measurements from shock dyno vs spring rates. Btw renault suspension is like this, becausse it needs to be usable for big part of customers. And also there are some rules they need to comply to be road legal. For example spacers (ET) discussion...

    Hyundai RN22E (upcoming IONIQ 5 N testbed)

    Still looks funny with those seatbelts :))) Yeah maybe you are right. But in residental areas we have speed limited to 30 and hearing those driving throught the otherwise silent night... :D I think I will get up and give that driver headbutt :D I still think that part of that noise (that high...

    UltraRed 200 FF CUP - Weekend warrior

    Upgraded map to RStuner STG1 today and from the quick ride it seems it have adressed the issue with precat removal. Hopefully it lasts.

    Hyundai RN22E (upcoming IONIQ 5 N testbed)

    OMG, how he wears harness :think: That (highly pitched, in the background) noise is awful too, very unpleasant and disharmonous to my ears. Yesterday, Skoda Eniyaq was parking in front of my house. That whiney-pitchy electric motor noise is absolutelly disgusting and thougths of those being...

    UltraRed 200 FF CUP - Weekend warrior

    Yes I am aware you drive the same setup as me :) Bumpsteer is "lowering" thing, not just H&R thing, so you wont mitigate it just by buying coilovers. But I would not say it is a big problem in this casse. Stuttering is not that bad compared to a CUP chassis. I would argue that it is very...

    UltraRed 200 FF CUP - Weekend warrior

    Guess I should put here some recent updates. After quick romance with Eibach springs, I have decided they do not fit my driving style and gone H&R route... and those I quite like :) - So I am on H&R and new CUP shocks allround. - Also have 16mm H&R wheel spacers allround (Car sits now very nice...

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    HR springs fitted. Just a quick ride back home. Not enought time to test properly, but from the first mile it reminded me original CUP but a bit tighter(which is good) and sensibly lower. Suspension is still more lively than it would be on KONI shocks, but I would not say its a bad thing. So far...

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    At first, springrate as a single number does not give you fair comparison. For example HR states on their website, that their springrates are measured LOADED. That means at ride height. Dunno about other manufacturers. Regarding progressivity: Have a look at standard clio cup springs, HR and...

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    You run 25mm spacers rear on the each side and no spacers front, If I remember correctly. This alone does not give the best handling to be honest. Try it without, or use 16 or 20mm everywhere, if you rub wheelarches. Using back spacers only rides like a plow in my opinion :) KW V3 would be nice...

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    Yeah, I understand :) Quite funny. I should go there and say hi, maybe :))) Or better introduce my car. And the fun fact is, I am from Czechia, not UK. Now I am interested in HR springs even more. They are already on its way.

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    Thank you. I have been happy with KONIs on my MkI focus, so lets see how HR springs will cope with my demands on cup shocks and then maybe try konis again :) In which thread do you have that discussion?

    This topic is interesting to me too, since I am about to lower the car. Ciapata: Can you send me details? I am located in EU too.

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    Being stubborn person, I have ordered set of H&R springs, so I have direct comparison between all three most used setups: Original CUP, Eibach and H&R. I do not take big chances I will love them, but the curiosity is stronger. I still think, they will be too soft at high speed, looking at some...

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    Eibachs are way more comfortable for general driving than CUP. My friend, for example, loves them on my car, compared to CUP, that he found harsh. To simplify it: I have the feeling, that Eibachs grips more and are more comfortable at speeds up to 100kph. Over that, they are too "floaty" for...

    Plenty of roads with very low to no traffic here :smile: Especially on weekend mornings. Lazy Czechs are sleeping :smiley:

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    I dont think there is something wront TBH. Lets see when I swap original springs back. All link were new like 5000km ago, as well as top mounts and fronts shocks. Now we have only powerflexed front wishbones (checked ball joints and everything ok without play) and changed springs to Eibach...

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    Well, I have chosen Eibachs in the end and I have to say after some rides, that it was a huge mistake for my driving style. Everything works nice, and fluffy until you get a car to any significant speed and try to change direction. For general driving, I would say its ok, but that is not what I...

    Maidens1979 Clio 200 - clubsport build

    I use 16mm HR spacers. If Madeno racing use those on their project car, can't be wrong...right? :D (http://www.madenoracing.com/trackdays/6/Clio-Renault-Sport-R20/) Picture below, 16mm spacers, Speedlines, cup suspension - original height and camber.
