I don't mind a stiff ride, and they are excellent on a track, but even the slightest divot on a b road threatens to snap the wheel out of my hand. Are yellow bilsteins the way forward? Would raising the tein ride height in the mean time soften the ride at all, or just make it bounce? 
(Testing my patience)(Competent but dull) I'm running BC coilovers and the ride is perfect now. Not much harder than stock really......yellow billies i hear there amazing4ndee wrote:how about.
:O am i??? what a coincidence. I brought all new shocks as i needed springs worked out cheaper Unsure what they are. Found a mouldy tein catalogue in the frunk when i first got the car; look like super streets and have the adjustable damper and height, but dampness doesn't seem to make a difference. Possibly just me; Peter's got it atm for a coolant problem and has driven it so hoping to ask for his opinion on the ride. I find i rarely drive it hard on empty country roads for that reason, which partly rounds the owning experience of such a potent car. it depends on the coilovrr design.(Testing my patience)(Competent but dull)..(Testing my patience)(Competent but dull)(common issue with Teins and other coilovers). TBH I've never been in an MR2 that rode "acceptably" on coilovers on a variety of different roads, although I haven't tried KW's, which are supposed to offer one of the best compromises (but more expensive). / valving, so you may end up with suspension that doesn't perform well on either the road or track.. 
My friend on here on here, Dave, has a Rev 2 turbo with the standard black bilsteins which are maybe a little too soft for my liking (although they are originals so maybe a little tired), so I was trying to find some middle ground between the two.(Testing my patience)(Competent but dull) I kind of fancy a set myself.... What's softer than Teins? 
Matched with Apex Springs is quite good apparantly. Firm but not crashy. Havent tried it myself though. Very hard ride so im changing to softer springs eventually.... I would say the ride is perfect for fast road with bumps etc. On track it by no means rolls about but im sure stiffer would be better in that environment. But overall l can't complain. simba90 wrote:The yellow bilstein struts are 20% firmer than the standard black turbo struts.
Ive got yellow billies with tein springs.
- bought yellow billies with tein springs, trd top mounts,17" wheels ...... and damn the ride is hard! Softer springs methinks bobhatton wrote:Just change the springs for softer ones, that is all you need to do
