Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
 Sustec pro S-zero

Strengths:
-superb for track racing use. -unqestionanle during hard corners, the car stay firms and very minor roll and under. (speaking of 140km/h 90 degree c curve)

Weaknesses:
-not for day-to-day usage -not damping rate adjustable -odd sizes of coils, difficult to aquire

Summary:
Original setting 8k(fr)and 6k(rr). The car is firm and no questions ask at cornering, but start crying at straight line. Car will tends to bounce unnecessarily even slight uneven road. I have lowered to 6k and 4k and it does not help the problem at the staight line. However, still firm at cornering.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
 baseRSX'02

Strengths:
-if u like comfortable and not spine rattling suspension (more for street use) -cheaper than other sustec pro i think -adjustable height

Weaknesses:
-can't adjust the quality of the ride. (harsher or more comfortable ride). Damn it , it feels like the stock...but better. i want a firmer suspension dmanit..cuz it'll feel more responsive. -expensive -body roll still felt. could be improved if suspension could be adjusted to a firmer ride.

Summary:
First of all, i got the Sustec Pro S-OC which is more comfortable than the other sustec pro. Stock suspension on the Base RSX is on the firm side. But body roll and understeer is horrible. After installing the sustec pro-OC, lowered the car about an inch and a half, and i noticed decrease in body roll (but i added a front towerbar as well). Unfortunately the ride feels alsmost the same as the stock, if not perhaps a bit more smooth....it sucks i can't make the suspension firmer. but i guess for street use it's resonable. buti still like a firmer suspension so that turning is better. I think basically this suspension is to be able to lower the car with a comfortable and streetable feel. If ur looking for a suspension for a firmer and stiffer feel, then i don't think this is for u.
