06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

[Sean197]

I went from standard 'full fat' suspension to the B14's and I was worried they'd be too harsh but in fact they are far from it. Very compliant and comfortable when driving normally, and they firm up nicely when pushing on.

as Sean said above...they are a great compromise tbh..not to harsh for everyday driving but will handle a track day very well..

Sunday cannot come faster im debating weather to get the top brace now or later on ??

The strut brace? I personally wouldn't bother. The most benefit is to be had with the lower brace.

really the ultra racing front top one ??

Yeah I think because the strut tops are so close to the bulkhead you notice the lower one more. I don't think many have bothered with the upper one for this reason.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

ah ok i was going to get it anyway so might see how the coilovers are and get one soon

this mate..dont bother..just get the lower one or RARB..these 2 will improve your handling far more..you may also experience more under steer with the front upper one fitted..

ive got the rear on all ready so will see

[Cliosport-carl]

cannot wait until tomorrow... coilover fitting it seams sad i know but i like learning my new car the 172 was mega easy to work on so will see how difficult this is so be prepared for lots of pics before and after.. such a shame i am out tonight as i would have got the rears done..

 

[Sean197]

Be prepared for a world of pain with the fronts...

Be prepared for a world of pain with the fronts...

I will be but im sure once i have done it the first time i will never want to change them again lol well until i get top mounts

 

[fallen_angel_walks]

Looking forward to seeing all your hard work in some pics - I'm sure I'll be well jealous that I never got round to it on mine!

 

[Cliosport-carl]

What a pig of a job.. drivers side bolt for some reason sized in the bolt hole but would rotate ?? getting the shock in what a pain (my fault for not cleaning inside the hub) took almost 3 hours.. passenger side came off in 10 mins and the rears about 5 so hard work paid off I will let them settle then take the front down
