Hot bits lower spring

[Iqlima]

Hi,Anybody have anything to say about this brand from speedworks ?Cheers

 

[kevster30]

Decent when new, sags prematurely........in short: THEY SUCK!

It would be wiser for you to spend a bit more on premuim brands like Eibach, Sparco, H & R, OMP, etc. These have been proven time and time again both on the street and track.

Spend your hard earned money once and avoid trying to save some pennies and in the end, go through several sets b4 u r satisfied.

Several forummers have tried Titans but same story.....the rebound and damping rates just don't match

Ground controls are the way to go people!

Not really but its not that way of from the eibach's. slight premium for a much better set up. After all the GC also uses eibach springs but specified rating unlike the std eibach.

I prefer h&r. Still being run by founders. Made only in Germany.

AFAIK, eibachs are made in USA, Europe and Japan. The ones from Japan tend to be extreme in terms of ride height and spring rates. USA ones tend to be on the softer side, so I am told. I could be wrong.

hotbits are for "imports" it seems...(meaning rice cars...) euro's are too heavy for it...friend in Oz tried it...works on rice, but not on bmw's... i'm using Merwede, another uncommon brand..swedish.. seems they OEM for Saab ..not sure how true that is.. fels pretty good so far...will let u guys know how it turns out in 3-6 mths time..

 

[ichiwan2]

I checked out HotBits b4 getting my H&Rs - the salesman revealed that the e21 springs by HotBits come from Intrax, which is quite well known oem maker. Not very well known for performance/tuning suspensions, AFAIK.

On the other hand, H&R are OEM for Porche :nyehehe:

:yes: i've used hotbits b4 on my honda civic and they suck bigtime bro..i'd go for eibach or h&r.used eibach on all my bimmers and i'm a happy camper.even thinking of going full eibach with dampers and anti-roll bars as well.right now only hv pro-kit springs but they are really2 good.
superb ride quality with very good handling balance.

So,what is the perfect match?Blistien absober&elbach spring?

 

[supergripen]

well u can try that combi but i guess any reputable brand frequently used by others shud be alright.i like to maintain a set up that comes from the same manufacturer so that i can be sure that its good and that they have done extensive testing and research on it..

Bilstein yellow shock + Eibach pro-kit Springs is my set up . very nice combo .

anyway , H&R , Bilstein , Eibach , Koni are very good brand with years of motorsport experience + their own real R&D .

used Hot Bits before on my putra ...just like everyone said .................
sucks big time . don't do it !!!

KW's Coilovers!!!!

 

[Performance Werkz]

Im using HotBits...It really depends on individual preferences...
For me..IT KILLS!! Had so much of fun and confidence with these perfect setup of HotBits, Pilot Precedas and Brembos till i nearly totalled my car..

Not too pricey and not too bad for the price i paid..What u expect from a RM3.6k Suspensions..
If you want great optimum performance...Go for TEINS! NO Regrets Mate!!
Sweeettt!!

the bmw club president uses it here on his e36 328i coupe..but its the full coil over kit & he swears by it..takes it to the track regularly as well...
