Cyberster suspension

[Juhani]

Is anybody little bit unhappy with rear damping in GT. I think its too sloppy front is fine and goes over any jolt without issue but rear no.

 

[superglwl]

Yes. The rear is too soft. Still waiting for an aftermarket upgrade. The 2026 update includes a stiffer suspension.

Please can you post the link of where you found out about the 2026 update. Thanks

I think that rear spring rate is quite good but shocks dont control up movement sufficiently, maybe compression damping also could be stiffer. In speed cornering rear starts woble and looses traction. Adjustable Koni or Billstein territory but not yet available. If 26 has uppgrade that should be covered in warranty, I complained about this in first 1000 km

I completely agree. Fast corners are really wobbly. I am curious to see if there will be a fix for this problem.

As far as i know, only AGT invertered coilover is in testing phase for this car.

I totally agree. Especially bad on roads that feature rapid, repetitive undulation (small elevation changes occurring every few meters, creating a wave-like surface).

Online I found info about a company "Gusto Engineering" that mounted a Ohlins Road & Track suspension with Eibach springs. But besides some pictures, not much info to be found.

It is a pity, chassis desing is fine and should perform, body is rigid for softop.

 

[Juhani]

Had 2020 Camaro 6.2L SS with magnaride before and it performed like gokart compared Cyb.

I totally agree, the rebound is too high on bumpy roads.

I found some information:

Since the spring is separate from the shock absorber, it should be relatively easy to replace the shock absorber with a more efficient component that has rebound adjustment.

 

[Juhani]

It should, but no manufacturer list one, then there will be warranty issues probably.

 

[nrx34]

It seems that there is an improvement on the 2WD version.
I would like to know if it's due to different settings or new shock absorbers.

as for as i know ... the shocks is Ohlins but not the springs. and its pricy, 30K+ HKD.

Yes pricey, but compared to the cost of the car? I would have opted for any factory suspension upgrade at that price. Probably KW / Eibach / Bilstein will come with a good solution at 70% of that price.

Fully agree, I know it’s a lot of mass to control but it does feel like something isn’t fully sorted.

I don’t know about issues in “fast cornering” side of things - I don’t think I do too much of that but with our 2WD Trophy I have experienced the rear doing some sort of rabbit/kangaroo hop movement given certain shape undulations in the road surface. As several have pointed out, it is as if when the rear suspension has been compressed by a road surface rise, the suspension springs back too enthusiastically creating the hop effect.
It really isn’t that often and mostly on small country roads so I’m not sure I would bother getting after market shock absorbers or whatever if there were available to try to fix it.

 

[superglwl]

coilovers would be my first upgrade........

I had thought that the 2024 UK suspension arrangements had been stiffened from what was shipping in China anyway, so if this video saying stiffened does the mean to UK spec? Who knows!

 

[GranTurismoEra]

Yes, none of the reported excessive bouncing on a 25 plate I drove, as well as a 74 plate.
