Old but still good. I'm always amazed how the CR ran totally fine without a single mod.

 

I remember when this was first published! Takes me wayyyy back.

 

I JUST threw away that issue. Had been sitting on my nightstand for ages.

 

I bet there's a good difference in the aero of the CR at play too. They designed it as a comprehensive package. Still, impressive and very cool article. I love real world tests like this. It does show that even a cheapy set of coils will still improve over stock too by a good margin.

I think the biggest disappointment for sure is those motons. Their dyno is pretty meh for 4 grand suspension.

After looking at all the setups even further, I'd say the aero has a huge effect, because the spoon has hardtop and full body kit to complement it's spoon suspension as well, and it ran the best.

Good to see how much a complete package will do for you over just dropping tons of cash on a single mod. I bet 4k split between suspension aero and tires will result much better than 4k on just the coils.

 

The dyno sheets aren't that clear though and lack numbering...

The comments made about the Moton were all positives only negative was the actual car being tested had been damaged previously?

I was hoping Ohlins and Bilstein were included...

 

I was hoping to see Bilstein as well, but Ohlins is on there. They came in slower than the CR suspension surprisingly
