The suspension is the Tein Super Race... it's their double adjustable motorsports version. Some of the versions of these coilovers use the remote reservoirs, but not the STi version I've got. I've run softer setups (spring rate wise) on the car that felt harsher than the SuperRace's, so I'm guessing the valving isn't as aggressive as something like the crappy JIC FLTA2's I've had. But I also know the car really seems to "leap" over T1 at RFR (the car gets very light after hitting the crest of the 1st turn into the esses) so I'm probably running way too much slow-bump rate... which I'm not sure is the valving, or just what I've got it set to. Either way, that could certainly be blowing seals... the Japanese seem to build their coilovers for glass smooth tracks. |
Sorry for the slow reply, I actually had a rare weekend off so I took advantage and unplugged from the grid for a while
It sounds like you need to run a little more rebound in your shocks. That would help alleviate the "leap" or floaty feeling you are experiencing on some of the larger bumps. More rebound will help the car stay planted, if you run too much though its going to make the car get progressively stiffer when you encounter a series of bumps.
