I always wonder why the ride seems transformed when people go to coilovers. Is it the OEM spring is fatigued? Is it the spring rates that are more equal front to rear? (usually people go to a softer front and similar or slightly firmer rear) Is it the reduced anti-roll rate?
It seems odd that steel providing the force vs fiberglass can make such a difference, but it seems everyone who installs them is more than pleased at the ride. There's no arguing the result.  |
Thanks Bob All I know is they move the set up backward a bit to allow for the fit. The ZF doc had to shave the bushings a little to allow for clearance of the Thermostat housing. The new poly bushings are a bit too fat. Its got to be the roll rate is reduced I am very impressed with the DRM setup I did not beleive it would improve the ride this much but it does. I beleive the front and rear fiberglass springs fatigue with time and age. Some members have seen cracking and spliting on some very low mileage cars my front and rear fiberglass springs look fine. I feel its possible for these to develop memory. They also conform to body weight of the driver and such. Dont know It just works
