RapidGB - new suspension kits - anyone got one fitted?
Discussion
Popped in to see Mark on the way home yesterday and he was showing me his new suspension offering and said there were 7 or so cars running about with it installed. Anyone on here with it fitted got any feedback on how you find it on the road? At the price quoted it seems a reasonable deal so just wondered how the owners with it are getting on.
Also got to thank Mark for his time yesterday and the run out in the superchared Ro - hope the stains in the passenger seat came out okay
Its no so much a fast car but the speedo reads Warp Factor instead of mph. Also had a look round the 730bhp car he's done for a customer - very nice engine set up and neat boot install of the fueling system. Can only imagine how much faster that thing is over the 520bhp car he had me out in - think I'd be needing a nappy.

yes sadly I turned my engine into a smoke machine after cooking it (three sets of rings, mains and a slightly scored barrel, oops), hence the big part that was missing. Not so proud of that.
It will be coming back with fully adjustable suspension (D2), kaaz diff, harrop diff cover, headers, forged rods, forged pistons, cam, arp bolts, 12psi crank driver SC, swirl pot fuel system, balanced, baffled sump and a few other bits, can't remember. Already intercooler, quick shifter, AP's, cat back, HID's, boost gauge etc.
soon the wait will be over.
Thinking about totally striping the inside and adding a cage, not sure yet.

soon could be right - think Mark had just taken delivery of some of those parts when I was in last week, certainly he had a harrop cover, cam, arp bolts,d2 kit etc in the workshop. Be a bit of a monster with that lot done - assume you're looking for 600hp+ out of the final package? If its not a cruiser or daily driver but purely for track/drift action then stripping it and a cage would probably be the best way forward, get rid of as much weight as possible!!!

got a set from New Zealand, D2 adjustable, look good and will see how they go, can adjust everything. ride height, 120mm, damper position within strut and external top adjustment for damping 36 way. Alloy too.
Will see what they are like, replacing HSV lowered springs and dampers.
For a cheap kit the D2 stuff is pretty good, i know a lot of supra's and evo use this setup, Kev atkins runs d2's on his time attack EVO.Will see what they are like, replacing HSV lowered springs and dampers.
The ones on it at the moment are really stiff but once on the track sideways they are way too soft, fine for normal driving but too soft for drifting. Need it as hard as possible, not really bothered about the road as don't use it as a daily drive. I use my scooter. I think they do upto 20kg springs £100 a pair.
