Your Suspension Setup

[slydar]

yeah. with those spring rates it works pretty good. a bigger rear bar to go with it would make it better. but im changing spring rates so..

[claw]

ditch the heros for steerers, dip in your pockets and run something, decent, a federal 595 is better and only around 30 per tyre more, or adrenalines, or if your running 15s and go all out with r1rs haha

but seriously, there is no way you car shouldnt turn em, what trye pressures do you run, theres a big difference from 32-36 psi

Can't get 595 in 14's, hz1's are from the same factory and extremely similar tyre

[claw]

yeah, you can, in about 4 different sizes from 185/55 - 205/60

ive recommended them for a few cars lately, and any hero ive seen, has been slippery as shit, i dont see this being different

[AJPS]

yeah i agree with this - ive not seen the ones that D has tho

Just put a stock ARB in it, and go faster

a small port is never going to bag the tyres, should be good tho

[Jacobxxx]

I tried for ages to get some, federal dealer kept telling me they don't stock them anymore in 14's so i opted for the HZ1's, can't complain about them though. Were awesome in super heavy rain at QR and then awesome in the dry.

[claw]

they are definetly avalable in melbourne

[Jacobxxx]

Stupid QLD/Northern NSW, Clay was telling me he can get them too. Ah well.
