apexjapan Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Still felt a bit jiggly, IMO, when at the 1200km mark with a full load of "lightweight" Aussies and luggage. [b]Somebody[/b] swears it calms down with more mileage on it, but I was happy with my GT from minute one. :p :D Cheers, Paul Hansen[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSB Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Has there been much mention of the bumpy ride of the spec B from NZ. Or are the roads there better than the elevated slabs of cement here in Tokyo? Edit : also does anyone know if the Sti springs are 'softer' than the Bilsteins.

apexjapan2 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 If u r going through a corner at low speed you feel the bump, but it does not get thrown around like recent JDM Evos would (well, Evos until the MR which now runs Bilstein dampers). If going through a corner at a more committed pace it will soak up most anything, but naturally, if u find a big enough bump, anything will get tossed off line ;) If you've seen the RS6 vs. spec B video you'll note how flat the spec B, in the back ground you can just see the GT doing its thang :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City and suburbs are not too bad if u have hard suspension - but the "b" roads tend to have alot of bumps and patches etc. Being bitumum based they tend to create bumps and hollows over time.

apexjapan2 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 The jiggle is the result of the much stiffer rear end, and it - the jiggle - is most certainly there, don't get me wrong. In the end it is up to the individual's tastes/pain level at that point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Zevil Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 do we have a couple of experts on the board? Maybe we should start an apexjapan thread in the pics forum so they can post all the goodies that they get to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kage Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 [quote name='axis008']Okay so if Paul is apexjapan, then who is apexjapan2?[/quote] Most likely that's Paul's compatriot Anthony Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
