very funny. :approve:
The one shown here is not a prototype in the sense. It's just the first. There were enough parts produced for more units.

As has often been said, the RSC damper technology is similar to the Öhlins DFV, but even more intelligently...

Julian from D (Renault Mégane 3 R.S. Ph3 Trophy, by Email, 21.10.2017):
Ok, then I give here now also my Feedback. I myself drive a Renault Mégane 3 R.S. Ph3 Trophy, which is now used more than Tracktool. Since I have installed the RSC Competition Pro in April 2017 with some further changes in the Autohaus Fahrbach in Bad Mergentheim (Germany), I have been able to test it in a long and versatile way. The first trackday on the Nordschleife was then already in April, and I had a cozy journey with the setting “7 clicks open” (= in the direction of soft) of max. 12 clicks. Already on the Highway, I noticed how the RSC Competition Pro coilover works much better with ground waves and edges (transverse grooves) than the original Cup suspension. In corners, such as a motorway exit, you notice much stronger side forces because of -2.5 degrees camber at the front axle and -2 degrees camber at the rear axle. Then at the racetrack, I adjust the RSC Competition Pro within 2 minutes on “2 clicks open” at the front axle and “3 clicks open” at the rear axle of max. 12 clicks. After 4-5 laps I had full confidence in the RSC Competition Pro and the new Set Up. I could instantly drive 15-20 seconds faster than before with the Cup suspension. The car goes more jagged and much faster around the corners, and in long corners it pulls the Mégane more inside than before with the Cup suspension. After other everyday tests I can’t fault anything. The RSC Competition Pro runs perfectly, is very stable and quiet when braking. On the race track of Anneau du Rhin (F) I drove the RSC Competition Pro completely closed (0 clicks open = max hard) to front axle and rear axle. It worked perfectly on the race track. With some modifications, such as the ATS GTR, Yokohama AD08R, brake cooling, Recaro Pole position seat etc., the Mégane 3 R.S. Ph3 Trophy works on the Nordschleife and other circuits first class! This is also due the RSC Competition Pro. Thus the Mégane makes much more fun and is more and more at home on racetracks. I am very satisfied with the quality and the driving performance that was possible with the RSC Competition Pro, and I will continue to drive diligently and give feedback again with some further changes.

Hi,
While I wholeheartedly agree that a decent set of coil overs will transform and car on road or track I’d like to know what pedigree makes RSC coil overs a must have addition to a clio or in fact any car?
I’ve competed in motorsport for over 20 years using Proflex, Ohlins, BOS, Reiger and currently Sachs on my rally cars but I have never come across your company. I see you are claiming your dampers are an improvement on ohlins but I fail to see how this is possible when you consider the massive success they’ve had and still have across all forms of motorsport at the very highest level whereas all I can see about RSC is a sticker on a car that runs Sachs dampers
I look forward to your reply,
Joe

The massive improvement in the driving behavior of a Clio V6 (or other cars, but the V6 is a very good example) results from the higher damping performance of the RSC damper.
Larger damper piston area compared to competing suspension suppliers. This gives the driver much more confidence in his car.
The RSC Suspensions coilvers are a lot quieter and "unspectacular" than others. At the same time stiffer and more direct.
A combination of damper performance and spring rates. Or in other words: A very well-chosen relationship between spring hardness and damper hardness.
In the end, you have to have driven it, instead of just talking about it...
RSC Suspensions has been in existence since 2014, and consists of a very small company with a small batch production.
The dampers are manufactured according to their own specifications, by a swiss company, which produces dampers years ago.
Of such, mostly unknown companies, there are many worldwide. The RSC dampers are not dampers from other coilover brands.
I didn't say, that an adjustable RSC monotube damper is better than an Öhlins damper.
The valve technology used incl. adjustment is almost similar (similar to the DFV system from Öhlins).
But taking into account all the features and features, the RSC is the more practical product with the larger adjustment options.
There are reasons why I offer 3 upgrade kits for Öhlins coilovers in the RSC assortment.

I’m guessing that when you say ohlins upgrade you mean you revalve them?
What are the larger adjustment options? I saw in one of your reviews a customer mentioned a total of 12 (I think) clicks in the range. Ohlins normally have 30 so I would class this as a larger adjustment range although why you would ever need 30 on a road car is beyond me....

I offer upgrades / improvements for two Öhlins coilover kits. (Öhlins factory Options for Megane 3 RS and Lotus Exige).
These arose from inquiries from dissatisfied Öhlins drivers.
With adjustment possibilities, I don't mean the number of clicks of the damper adjustment, but on the whole coilover kit:
- Play-free adjustment of vehicle height without changing the spring preload
- Adjustable camber plates
- Adjustable stabilizer height or adjustable stanilisator coupling rods
- Damper length adjustable
- Damper hardness, bumb- and rebound combinated
Right, almost no sports driver needs 30 clicks.
Earlier, I offered 24 clicks. now it's 12 clicks. Where it doesn't mean at 30 or 24 clicks, that the adjustment range is greater, but just graded finer. But almost nobody needs that.
With the RSC damper, it adjusts the control range of the mechanically automatically controlled piston valves, and not bump and rebound separately.
Much easier for the customer, and you're never wrong in the relationship. That's why 12 clicks are enough.

£2,796.80 plus duty (VAT) as it is coming from outside the EU = £3,356.16!!

Group buy Simon?
As far as I’m concerned, any firms who are developing replacement or reconditioned Vee components is a positive thing (regardless of the cost).
However, I don’t expect that many will be looking towards RSC upgrade on a whim...

Trouble is Arno has a distributor in the UK who is not everyone’s idea of a good outfit so probably no chance of a bulk buy at a sensible price!Kett":1jivxhny said:

I have some companies in the UK that represent my products, or have already installed.
But they have no exclusive rights and the trade is open.
Of course, we can think about better prices with a collective order. But your high VAT it hurts anyway.
