The SupaShock coilovers look very much like BC RM coilovers.
The bodies probably are, though the internals and setup is Supashock. That's where the value is. Anyone can make a coilover body.

I fitted the coilovers today and also some new braided brake lines.
I used GOODRIDGE STY0010-4P and they fit perfectly. I highly recommend these.
I have used Safebrake and Hel braided lines in the past, and they don't fit properly. Go for Goodridge!

Will be very interesting to see the change to your times from this. Give me a heads up when you decide on a day.

I will come to SMP on Friday to say hello. Will be interesting to see how much the car has improved with the new shocks and bling.

Cool. It will be good to see you.
The bling is 2/10ths of a second.

My old coilovers are now $300 for the set of 4. Grab a bargain.

The car went well today. I managed to beat my best time by 0.6 seconds and got 1m48.9s. Supashock convinced me to put the front anti roll bar back on and I'm sad to say that the understeer in tight corners has returned - i.e. turn 2 at Eastern Creek. I'll disconnect it again for the next track day. The car also felt a bit unstable at times and I think that I may have delaminated a rear tyre. I'll check tomorrow. The power felt better than MTC 2016 because it was a much cooler day and I had the intercooler working properly :-) I'm happy overall. Videos are coming soon on the MR2 Australia YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwe8HL4zv3qi_C6FP_U6Hrg

Nice driving, you outrun almost every car on track. Very good example of "Practice makes perfect" - I'm sure some of those Skylines were pushing more power than the lil' MR2, and yet you lose 'em on the corners
