Bilstein b8's Vs group N's

[joe333]

Right got a 106 and thinking about doing the suspension on it now.

The car will be used for fast road/ track, and will be a daily drive.

The 2 options are below, was thinking more of the b8s?

Faulkner 155lbs, bilstein b8's Front/Rear

Faulkner 155lbs, bilstein group N's Front/Rear

Gaz IMO.

Bilsteins give a better ride than Gaz but Gaz are stiffer. I'd go for the Group N personally but if its only one or two days a year you find yourself on track then get the b8's and focus on general ride quality in the environment the car is mostly used.

i'd say gaz

got b8's and faulkners on mine at the moment

and although i love, really cant fault them, i know i would have been happier if i;d have gone gaz coilys

Group Ns on the rear with standard torsion bars is a no no imo... will be over dampened. And it is noticeable when you go round tight bends.

Faulkners on the front with Group N's and B8s on the rear.
IIRC the group N's were designed to run with the PSF 21mm torsion bars..

For 155lb springs I would use B8s all round.

I've got the B8's for the very same reason, they are great on the track and very liveable ride quality on the road.
