JRZ RS1's installed

Lunatic Fringe · 08-20-2014, 07:22 AM

This is hand's down the best performance upgrade available on our platform. All of you guys you spend thousands and engine mods and then slap on lowering springs should really consider RS1's first, even if it means saving for a few months

AST 4100's are pretty terrible, I would not compare the two.

Congrats on the new setup! Just curious, did you consider Moton dampers at all?

Did not because they were too far outside my budget. Since I had the springs I knew I wanted to use and the rear adjusters already, all I needed were dampers and the RS1 dampers only are actually pretty competitively priced for what they are. It's the kit that IMO is a bit incorrectly priced.

Had my first trackday on the JRZ's yesterday!

Ran a damping setting of +11f/+10r. Felt controlled but not skippy. A little bit more body motion than I think I like but I'm realizing that my preference trends to the overly stiff end of the spectrum so I'm being open minded.

The strongest comment I can make is that I stopped "noticing" them working... they just did their job and I noticed no blinking yellow TRACTION events as I normally have on that track, and I was going faster than ever before. Looks like I won't be needing to switch out my Quaife for a Giken any time soon! Dampers really make a difference...

Oh, and one more thing - I GOT PROMOTED TO GROUP TWO! Yippeeee!!

Updated pic showing corner balanced ride height. Just the perfect street stance for me too, to boot!

^ curious, did you install M3 rear shocks with M3 rear camber/spring arms or 335 rear shocks with oem camber arms?
