long-gone reacted to MeisterR in Suspension
With suspension, it is very difficult to "measure" performance because it is only one part of a working system.
The driver, the suspension, the anti-roll bar, the tyres, the track / road surfaces, all combine and work together.
This is how "vehicle dynamics" are calculated, and in a way it is different for everyone.
There are some constant variable such as heat fade resistant and durability.
There are some suspension that are design incorrectly such as having way too much damping force for the springs rate.
But to really understand how everything works, one really need some basic understanding of vehicle dynamics, not just how a damper work.
If you look online, alot of people post up a "force vs. velocity" dyno, and use that to "gauge" how good a damper is.
From where I am sitting, if I get shown a "force vs velocity" dyno, I wouldn't actually know what show because it doesn't actually show "how" the damping force is generated.
The main thing to remember is that suspension need to fit the driver's need.
An expensive 3-way race suspension will get out performed by a budget 1-way coilovers if this is for a daily fast road car.
Higher price don't always mean better suspension, and more adjustment just mean more to go wrong if driver do not know how to set it up.

Please keep things on the right forum and do not duplicate post. People interested are more likely to look in the for sale section.

long-gone got a reaction from Deacon in Brake discs at the same time as new pads?
My first set of rotors were spent at about 25,000 miles, replaced at same time as pads.
Replaced with Brembo rotors and EBC GreenStuff pads and at 50,000 miles they're less than 50% worn. Stops pretty well too, and no squealing like originals.

Worth emailing their sales desk and asking for some references from satisfied GT86/BRZ customers?

Trial and error ain't working. I'm too thick and don't have the patience.
If anyone could tell me the correct pin outs it'd be much appreciated.
Virtual internet beers to anyone who can help.

Kewlio. Thanks for update.
I'm booked in for similar in three weeks or so, plus Bilsteins.
Looking forward to it, much.

Quick update. Car back into TD to sort what appeared to be a very slight clearance issue as the engine moves under torque. Overpipe removed and refitted - bit of a mystery as to the cause of the noise as no visible evidence of contact, but either way whatever was vibrating against whatever has stopped doing it following the refit, so jobs a good 'un.
