Sweet... Both damper and height adjustable?

[TORNEO]

Yes....
I just checked that this Colt VR was found in a garage HRS in Japan and they are now modifying it.

I really hope so.....
They said that they will change ECU too......:)

[we1hu1]

So the Ohlins is not officially released yet? Please, for heaven's sake, don't end up like the Aragosta I've seen tested on the Colt but didn't get released till now..:(

I think the Ohlins is not officially released yet up to this moment, like Tein. They install the TEIN RA Damper in a demo car on January 2007 for Tokyo Motor Show (Defi Colt VR), but still not yet released. I really hope that all these will release within this year as I am planning to change the damper this year too.

Aragosta......this is a really good damper factory as I understood that it is order make. Is this true ?? Any website ??

I reallly hope so. As I want to change ECU too. :D

Aragosta does order make, but for famous cars like Evo, STi, RX8, they have ready-made. There's no website but I got the pictures from a Jap magazine:

I just found their website....

but there is no damper for Colt VR......

[we1hu1]

Yeah, that's the official website. I was saying that there's no info/website on Colt VR damper...:(

Yo brother, the damper not for Version-R. Its designed for your car, the COLT RALLIART.

but i thought colt ralliart and Version R's suspension can be inter-use......

[tingtw]

but i thought colt ralliart and Version R's suspension can be inter-use......

Yes, can be inter-use. What I meant is, Aragosta using the COLT RALLIART as the demo car. Anyway, I believe we won't see Aragosta suspension kit for any variant of COLT. COLT RALLIART production already replaced by the Version-R and the kit still not in production yet.

[TORNEO]

But I cannot find the Colt damper either......

Coz the trial died of a natural death :o

That's poor.......

UPDATE: Looks like they managed to custom a Ohlin adjustable set to fit the RColt. Riding comfort is even better than OEM suspension

That's good, but really really expensive.......

[we1hu1]

Yeah, it's really expensive....

But the springs alone won't make too much diff, better go full kit..:eek:

By the way, damping adjustable?

[lovecolt]

Seriously, unless you are very hardcore, or else i don't see why the need to go for such a expensive brand. Its only so limited difference between ohlin and tein or HKS or Cusco.....

I agree with you.

I tested the Cusco Zero One last week and find it is still good, even the spring is F7 R5, it is still comfortable.

[we1hu1]

Oh, fitted on Version-R? I agree with you, Cusco Z1 is not bad.. I sitted on F8 R5 last week too:p

I agree with you.

[27AME]

you all need to get over your ride comfort and just chuck the stiffest suspension you can find in there :P

hi..anyone knows if TEIN is coming up with coils or springs for our car as well?read somewhere here that TEIN was fitted into a CVR for demo...:)
