T And that's, how do Improve the handling performance of my GSF and RCF? It feels unstable at high speeds and the rear feels In the case of 4th gen GS models, how do Improve my ride quality? My OEM suspension feels harsh. Now the answer to that question is CKS coil overs. But how is it even possible that coil overs can improve on OEM ride quality and even improve on the handling of sportier models such as GSF and RCF? To understand t What the GS, RC and IS models all share in common is that they have a divorce rear suspension setup. If you're unfamiliar with how a divorce rear suspension setup works, don't worry, let's go over it now. In a divorce suspension setup, the spring, colored in red, is completely separate from the shock damper, w The spring is held in place with cups, one on the chassis and the other on the lower control arm. The weight of the car keeps the spring in place w Because the spring takes the big Now in a traditional coil overs setup, the spring again in red is together with a shock damper in blue, as a complete assembly working as one. The spring preload is controlled by the spring purges, so no matter what happens, you maintain a consistent preload on the spring, whether during compression or decompression. As a result, you have far greater control, adjustability and consistency, w Also, it's a lot easier to do height adjustments with a true coil over, than using other kits that do not convert the rear. With CKS coil overs, your rear is converted from a divorce setup to a true coil over, w So let's talk a little bit more about the features on these coil overs. Firstly, the base of t As you spin the result is a softer or stiffer ride quality. They come with rubber mounts pressed into 6061 T6 al Height adjustment is controlled by an adjustable lower bracket that you raise and lower by spinning on the threaded damper body and lock in place with a locking perch. The lower mount connects to the lower control arm with a forged lower mount. These coil overs come with SAW 9254 springs, but optionally can be upgraded to Swift springs. To increase damper life, they include an integrated dust boot to protect the damper seals from debris. To keep all the components together, you use a spring perch and two locking perches to keep the spring and lower bracket in place.
