    Just FYI, the fact that the aftermarket is much beefier is not only due to durability, but also due to "bad" design. For MacPherson stut you need to have the spring offset to the damper axis to lower the additional forces on the strut (force must aim in the middle or near the middle of contact patch). But if you design spring that way, only one ride height is right, also you would not be able to use those springs and dampers on other vehicles. So for this type of suspension the bad way is the only way.

    The camber washers can they be place backwards. Like I want positive instead of negative.

    That kw product you know it’s going to be the best of the best, nothing can compete with the quality and ride quality of the kw coilover set up, there v3 or competition build set up and the best of the best, thus the high dollar value, I have been running kw for years in all my race cars, my 2001 mustang gt turbo street car 1080hp wheel runs kw custom made Competition coilovers with 3 stage adjustability

    How much does a front and rear suspension for the fiesta cost from reiger (I couldn't find it on their site)? Could you use the same suspension parts on fiesta sedan as fiesta hatch if you have the same application?

    +TeamONeilRally Thank you for the response! Was the jack purchased at any particular place? I looked around locally (Canada) and didn't find anything quite like it. The low profile and long reach are just what I need - it looks just right without being over the top. Cheers!

    I think apart from safety equipment, suspension, wheels and tires are most important modifications. If you're not in the position to spend that kind of money, you probably shouldn't rally... You can try motocross or enduro instead, its cheaper, you just pay with more injuries ;D

    So, race suspensions are similar to USD Forks on superbikes ?

  • @Benedocta

    @Benedocta

    No. USD forks are mainly about reducing unsprung weight and improving stability of the triple clamp.

  • @trykozmaksym

    @trykozmaksym

    Why not? Performance bikes require more than just lower unsprung weight and rigidity - that's why USD also have all the settings talked about in this video. Nobody bothers putting this expensive stuff into cheap conventional forks.

    I have D2 on my rally car, there are a bit on stiff side, and not a lot of suspension travel for bumpy roads. But ok for tarmac rally. Im looking at some Bilstein B14 to replace them.
