Hi all - what are the best coilovers in this bracket?

Richard Chamberlain ( CTR Developments) is building me a Porsche 934 Replica with 964 turbo engine/gearbox - we are looking at around 550 BHP, 1150 kiloes - and I want some proper coilovers to attack the ring with.

JRZ, Moton, Nitron - what say you?

anyone tried the Ohlins TTX36? at 875 per corner the price seems okay.... the TTX40 and 46 are twice and thrice that!

car in question is a 1982 930, stiffened and strengthened - will be running a 964 turbo Gearbox with a rebuilt Porsche Motorsport diff, 40%. tyres will be 10.5 x16 and 12.5 16s as per 934 spec.

Great advice and no surprise that people have nothing but positive things to say about Richard and Tony.
Find me a customer with a bad thing to say about em!

Love Richard!

update - went for a setup from BG Motorsport at Silverstone and working closely together with Richard on this.

Ohlins insert for the front suspension. This will allow us to keep the front of the car on torsion bars. The rear has to be on coil overs and he can do a "cheaper" version of the TTX for this. he is going to send me through the spec of both the front and rear. Price wise it looks like £800 a corner but lets see what the spec says!
