135R Dampers

Does anyone have 135R Dampers fitted to their cars and if so are they any good?

They are very good indeed. If you do a lot of trackdays and little town driving.

Based on my experience using EGOR, Robin's 135R, for a few days, I'd say they are perfectly set up but very very hard sprung indeed.

Having just put standard S2 suspension on my S1, I'd say that's good enough.

But of course it's all about personal choice. Note that 135R dampers probably cost quite a bit more than std S2.

I picked up a set with 6k on them for £350 a few weeks ago. They're still waiting to go on of course. I didn't fancy the S2 stuff as it hasn't got the height adjustment of the S1 LSS and thought that S2 LSS would be looking after my car so as to preserve its futre value etc... Having said that if your taking new, I'd spend the money on Nitrons instead from what I've read/heard etc...

I find this S1/S2 stuff a bit petty to say the least. The S2 standard suspension is clearly better than the S1 standard suspension. I haven't met a single person that would prefer to be riding on red konis - maybe there is someone out there, who knows ...

For a mainly road going car with the odd track day thrown in I would recommend the S2 standard suspension for both S1 or S2 on road tyres.

I would not fit the S2 135R stuff to a road going car on road tyres - too harsh.

If you're going to put sticky tyres on the car, then either LSS variant or Nitrons are probably what's recommended, but actually the one-way adjustable protechs are cheaper than either of these and probably as good.

Cheers,
Robin

The handling of the 135R's is awesome. Puts a lot of nitrons shod cars to shame.

If I was doing it all again I would be on the look out for a 135R!!
