Hi all
I planning my suspension mods and narrowing down the options. I've got a set of jcw springs for my r56 and wondering what shocks to pair them with and am looking hard at bilstein sports due to the shortened shock body and piston profiles so I can decrease the bump stop contact and hopefully some of the crashiness and the jacking down that occurs in the stock set up. Has anyone done this setup?

I can ONLY speak for the mod I made on a Sport Suspension.
I have the KONI yellow (sports) with Fat Cat Motorsport bump stops. Really like the setup. I also have a 22mm solid rear sway bar.


The bump stops really got rid of the snap oversteer I experienced as a novice autocrosser. There was a smoother transition when contacting the bump stops that is then controllable with throttle application. Highly recommended!

 

Are you still using stock sport suspension springs?

 

I was wondering the same thing.
Thanks for the info, I was wondering about the fat cat bump stops too. Anybody else have insight on Bilstein sport shocks and or jcw lowering springs?

I have remained on the sport springs. I'm locked into them due to my D-Street autocrossing, love the set up none the less. The Fat Cat bump stops engage smoothly and allow for much easier control of the oversteer.


Kyoo has custom valved Bilsteins. From what I read, he loves them, but the cost is pretty high.


Hope someone chimes in with off the shelf Bilsteins.
