Thread: B13, B14, B15 Suspension Information...

Seems like I'm always reading this thread...lol. Lovin' the Wheels and tire section. I learned alot from that

Use me.

For SCC's B13, DC used Eibach ERS Springs, not sure about the collars - prob GC.

They may be out of business but the July 2000 SCC article is excellent on how they first set up the B13 with custom work from Shocktek - e.g. how they arrived at the right rates, etc.

I scanned my copy awhile ago, IMHO it's a good read, reinforces many of the excellent points in this thread. Very good section on damper rebound frequency, and IIRC a good discussion of "natural frequency" of a well dialed in chassis. The one missing link is why DC swapped these out for Progress less than 4-5 years later...guessing combo of travel and custom valving, or just out of business and needed new CO's.

If the images are too small drop me a PM and I'll post links to larger scans.

Well, I'm probably going to end up selling my car to my brother and decided that I should put my Tein Camber plates on. They fit btw....

Haven't put the car on the ground yet, I'm wrestling with Neutral position switch, by the way when you take it off, you lose all your trans fluid :squint: .


BTW, passenger side allen bolt heads are a little tricky to get to with the PSfluid line in the way.


Sorry Shawn! you have more to update!!!!

This is why OEM bushings are complete garbage for lack of longevity and slop:

It shall be incorporated my friend.

I have just done the first few updates on The Suspension Thread. There is a new "Preface" added at the top that explains the lengthy process.


Updates (finally) underway. As of today. It will take me a couple of months to get the Suspension Thread updated in two (2) locations.


No problems, updates in full swing.

On this forum alone, I have "subscribed" to twenty-nine (29) threads. All of which need to be scrutinized, categorized, and incorporated.


I not only will incorporate that, but I *think* I have subscribed to other threads of yours, or maybe you posted in the Suspension Thread on the other forum (?).

It is a long, methodical, tedious process to update The Suspension Thread. If you were to print it out, the damn thread comes to eighty-one (81) pages!

Thank you all for you input and contributions.

Updates are currently in the works, gentlemen.

And I have done just that! I can't stand reading long articles online, I prefer a hard copy if I can.

You'e hard-core dude!

You can then decide when you want to print yourself a Version 2.0. I would suggest you wait till at least post-February 2009.

I only figured the page-count out recently, when I was printing out just one page of the thread, hit the wrong button and then had to hit "cancel" right quick. No, I did not want eighty-one pages.

What length manuscript officially qualifies as a "book"? ............

I hate to be a bother I remember us discussing megan coilovers for the B13 on the other forum and noticed that they haven't been added to the suspension thread and it was just updated. If you would like more info on them there are a few people running them on the forum.

I have also noticed it looks like B+G seems to be coming back out with suspension parts for our cars
