Handling Over Looks
Shine Racing Service made its reputation developing race car suspensions and providing chassis setup advice to the touring car racing community. It follows that when Dick Shine began developing suspensions for street cars, handling was the primary concern. The Shine Real Street Suspension is the result of years of development and testing.
Comfort, Confidence, Performance
The Real Street Suspension is all about controlling the roll. A car with very little body roll is comfortable and confidence-inspiring in the twisties. Also, a car with less body roll transfers less weight from the inside wheels, and experiences less camber change, resulting in more available grip and faster speeds through the corners.
Provide the Correct Geometry
The key to reducing body roll is working with the suspension geometry of the car, not against it. Contrary to popular belief, lowering a Volkswagen does not improve handling performance, and in most cases, actually hinders handling. By setting up the car at the proper ride height, the car’s tendency to roll is greatly reduced.
High-Rate Springs
The springs included with the Real Street kits are 40-70% stiffer than the stock springs, further reducing roll under cornering loads, without being so stiff as to create an unduly harsh rides.
Shine Rear Swaybar
The Shine Racing Rear Swaybar does a fantastic job of controlling body roll on torsion beam cars. Lighter and stiffer than any other bar on the market, the Shine bar, due to its mounting location inside the torsion beam, adds zero unsprung weight.
Real Street, Not Track
We call it our “Real Street” suspension, because it is designed for just that: real streets. Real streets have expansion joints, manhole covers, and potholes-we know, we’re from New England. Our Real Street spring rates are carefully selected to ensure that a Real Street equipped car will not rattle the fillings out of your teeth. If you're looking for the ultimate suspension for your street car, look no further than the Real Street kit. If you're looking for a fantastic suspension for your race car, we can provide that too. Just give us a call.
Affordability, Durability
The Real Street kit is a great bang-for-the-buck performance upgrade, producing handling unmatched by any other street car suspension, at any price. Your investment is safe, as the shocks carry a lifetime warranty through Bilstein, and the rest of the kit is waranteed by us to the original owner for the lifetime of the car.
