Default Re: Ford Falcon BA-FG Coilovers

Haha - just responded in another forum to a question as to how I was finding the Shockworks at the strip. Reposting here because it's relevant to the above

Rears are still on full soft from when they were fitted - have played with the fronts but not the rears yet. Will do that shortly.

So yeah, full soft at the rears, full hard at the front for the drags.

8 runs last night - all in the 1.9's for the 60' and a 1.8. Previously on stock springs 2.2 was the norm. (doesn't take into account that I'm slowly improving myself as well, but does show a definite difference)

Definitely give more grip that the stock setup, but also gives back fantastic feedback when on the road. Under acceleration you can feel where the tyres are getting to their limit of traction and keep a nice balance with them at that limit. Would be expecting even greater control once I do find the proper firmness to dial the rears in at too. I think the fact that they're non-progressive gives them a huge advantage in that regard - constant spring rate the whole way through the load.
