Anyone Ride on RYO RII Damper Coilovers in US?? - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

DSPro · 12-19-2007, 11:39 PM

We were actually planning on sending that to the US to back the S15 up in Formula D. Instead we decided to build a "twin" for the S15 but with 326 aero instead of Works9 so it's back up for sale.

Everything is designed and manufactured in Japan utilizing high-grade components. Even the oil was specifically designed for the RII's by Advantage. When they're officially released in the US damper dyno info will be available.

It's just too bad Ryo can't drift to save his life.

For those of you going to Long Beach for FD Round 1 next year you'll be able to meet him (he's a really, really nice guy) and check out the parts for yourself.

Trust me, These guys know their stuff. We are happy to be working with DrivingSports-Na.

and to compare, the ones i want, DG5 (GP SPORTS uses DG5 shock)

both have a little test write up by Mikami.
he is such a nice guy so im sure he's always got nice stuff to say about them.

Thank you for this....I just found it which i was going to post up but you beat me to it..haha

I'm sure they're just a great as every other coilover that retails for 100,000 yen.

Yeah, thanks for the scans Dousan. Now I'd like to hear Wiseass chime in.

your a 100% right

yokotas13 · 12-20-2007, 01:45 PM

and yeah, cause ANYONE on zilvia, other than the handful, will spend more than that on coilovers lol

those ryo coils look pretty solid though, when my CSTs blow from the airbags, i might go get a set

I'll try to look for some, but I sold it when I put FN's on it back in the day when SPL came out with them. I will try to find some.

Well they look pretty similar to everything else. I'm assuming with the RYO's that the left plot is for the rears and the right plot is for the fronts. Otherwise there would be too much damping force on the rear and not enough on the front. But without numbers for force or speed, there isn't too much I can say about that. I can run any calculations or compare to other plots.

But they look pretty similar to everything else from Asia in terms of damping trends. Linear compression so there is either not enough compression damping in the low speed or too much in the high speed causing a rough ride. It looks like a lot of rebound, maybe around where it should be, maybe too much, but not very well balanced with compression.

Since they're there, the GP Sports dampers don't look much better. More rebound which is probably not needed. And on the right plot it looks like the damper is seeing some cavitation probably a result of not balancing the adjusters with the bleed ports on the piston or not enough gas pressure.

But that's all I can really say without more data.

*ManoNegra* · 12-26-2007, 01:16 PM

^ Thanks for the insight man.

Dousan_PG · 12-26-2007, 09:31 PM

So Tim, these will work just fine for everybody in American right?
right.

Wiisass · 12-28-2007, 12:29 PM

Well Brian, no. But that doesn't mean people won't buy them and claim that they're better than all the other entry level stuff. They're probably just another pick your favorite color setup.
