- GAME OVER for BOS Suspension with AJClubsport and this isn't click bait!
Today the last drop was spilled, when a subscriber received a new kit that not only was missing some parts, but was also the old revision. After waiting for four months, instead of two...
It has been a very rough ride for me with BOS Suspension, and I had already decided to silently drop support, but I can not let You, my friend, alone without knowing. In the end, this is what AJClubsport is all about!

It’ll happen, just keep believing in yourself and doing what you’re doing✊✊
Love this comment, thankyou for your support Chris 👍
This is why I subscribe to AJ and supprt his efforts and the channel , he tells you how it is, genuine person and great knowledge 👍
Looking forwards to the next update .
Regards Russ...🙏
Thankyou so much for Your support Russ, god bless you 🙏
As I told you in private, Adriano, I really appreciated your honesty and transparency throughout this process. Your intentions were excellent, but unfortunately, BOS Suspension showed very little professionalism in all of this. Thank you for stating things as they are and not hiding the negative aspects that have come up recently about this company! Keep up the good work 💪🏻👍🏻
I’m sorry for what happened to you Vittorio, I will help to set your kit up in the best way possible
We are lucky in Australia as we have access to MCA suspension that sells custom suspension, you pick your own spring rates front and rear and importantly custom hydraulic valving, for a very reasonable price, much cheaper than Ohlins or KW, so you can tune the suspension to work well at your desired ride height and road surface. Of coarse MCA will adjust the settings for you if you are unsure, just tell them what you plan on doing with the suspension.
Yes, MCA can do some good things, but they only get to a certain level: I’m talking of world class results here!
@@AJClubsport They're not on the world stage in rallying but cars running their Gold series have won Australian Rally Championships in the past. Their service is second to none. They also recently extended their warranty which covers both road and track use to 5 years if you buy their shock shields. That includes one free rebuild once per 12 months per unit in the first 3 years. Lots of serious time attack cars like Lamspeed's GR Yaris are running MCA as well. For the average punter they are good value, well performing coilovers that have excellent after sales service.
@bcm70 yes, and I like that a lot: also my friends at Wiborg Engineering use them a lot. What I am working on now though, are very high level kits with some properties that just aren’t found out there. Will announce soon
Thank you so much for this update on BOS. Really really appreciate your honesty. Don't worry, everybody can make mistakes and be "fooled" especially when you have already invested a certain amount of money and that you are passionate & really involved about something. BOS is going to lose a lot of potential clients. I will post a link of your video on the Gazoo Forum just to avoid anybody having issues with these BOS kits. It's a real pity, and being French, living not too far from their company... so disappointing.
So that's that. I will stick to the OEM "Track pack" suspension for the meantime, got used to it and it's behavior. I actually even like the way it absorbs at "high" speed B-road blasting. I only dislike it's low speed harshness and lack of absorption.
Remember when I asked you some advice about BOS suspension Road kit, you said to me to wait, there was an updated version in association with AJClubsport coming up soon. I was really quite motivated to buy a kit from them. And still planning to do so until yesterday your video came out. Thanks once again for the heads-up, you avoided me a lot of trouble.
Thankyou mate,
Most appreciated comment. Yes, I have been telling everyone that reached out to wait for some time, then they did the evolution that I approved of again as best in class for the money. Can you imagine my concern on Thursday, when I understood they were still building and sending out the first iteration?!?
@@AJClubsport Yes I can hardly imagine the disappointment...
Awesome news, we hope to get that new suspension kit, I'm sure it's good coming from you AJ. Also I would absolutely love you to react to the Matt Watson video about the things he said about the GRMN and the new gen, if you think you can have some comments, because he also said something about the special editions that might not be true, thanks!😊🎉
Thankyou mate! Maybe I should do a reaction video, you are right!
The new suspension kits will be like coming from another world mate, but this time I will test everything personally before even letting them see the market. Already in development
back in the days of my (very intense and long) MTB phase BOS was unfortunately known for horrible customer service. their products were actually good, but high end suspension needs to be serviced regularly to perform and they failed miserably at this
Thankyou for sharing mate, yes, its good to see more and more share their experiences on something that is real.
Nowadays companies with such low respect for customers shouldn’t survive on the market
It's a rough transalation of a greek saying this but "you can find elsewhere orange trees that make oranges". This is getting interesting. By the way, I loved the Bos unboxing video. It introduced me to your channel.
I like this saying! This time everthing will be perfect because I’m following all the development and approving, and the new partner is at the highest level, has also won more…
Wow, thanks for the info, the suspension I had on a list of to buy items for my Yaris, now will not.
Very welcome, it has been a messy trip and I had to share it when I understood they didn’t send out the evolved kits and the support didn’t improve…
Next week I will talk about the new kits coming from the other supplier
Yes, but will the next company take the time for TÜV. 😂😂😂 I'm a bit relieved after this video to be honest. I'm sure you'll have fine-tuned your bullshit sensor for the next cooperation.
Side note, wiborg is cool right? Saving up for their geo kit. 😂
Yes mate, they will give a Certificate of Conformity and with that you will be able to get TUV approval easily, I’m told.
My sensor is now turned up to 11 😅
Yes, Wiborg are exceptional to work with and their products, over expectations ❤️
@@AJClubsport Legendary! I can't wait. I'm throwing money at tech stocks to make an extra buck for the GRY with the profits. 😂
I just installed a Reiger gravel suspension on my vehicle.
That is a beautiful top kit mate, congratulations!!
@@AJClubsport Also Nitron is not bad
I have some Reiger 3 way adjustable tarmac suspension on my Fiesta M-Sport Edition. Great bit of kit! 👍
@@rhysevans1401 Reiger are always great kit: for this reason their prices have shot to the stars now, and also availability is scarce...
When you come to Japan, let me know!
I will make it public, yes thanks!
Very sad to hear how the BOS Partnership was going, especially for all the money that has been spent on your side to make it possible. I dont want to imagine how much that must have cost.
I can understand your frustration.
Hoping for the best on your next project!
I myself am in the process of getting my own GR Yaris (used, 1000km, arrived april 2024) and am researching for hours on the best first mods to do on it, your channel is helping a ton.
I consider myself a clubsporter like your definition and im trying to make it OEM+. It already has the Milltek exhaust, paint protection in the front, and the Pipercross Induction Kit. I will give it a go as is, then maybe do some stiffening with cusco struts, small mud flaps in the front to keep the sides safe. Also an oil cooler and will try to get rid of the fake engine noise and speed limiter.
Then a cheap but light set of wheels with 225-245 width and TÜV for better gripping tyres, your proposed Cup2's. The BBS will get snow tyres after the PS4S are toast just to have a little fun when it snows :)
Wish you the best, thank you for your strong support for the GR Yaris community!
Thankyou very much and congratulations for your new GR! Please let me know privately if you require any advice, and get the Rally.2 hood vents from me, they massively improve front end grip and cooling!
@@AJClubsport Do you know if the vents are or can be TÜV approved? Thats the big hinderance in Germany.
I am interested in hood vents because i heard about the car lift problem and they probably work well with the pipercross intake kit, but i am still not sure about cutting into the hood of the new pearl white GR
A hood isn’t very expensive and the performance gains are great, plus the looks are awesome!
Nobody tried to do TUV, but I think it should pass with Rally.2 version
Hi Adriano.
I need your help with my GR.
Bought a KWV4 Clubsport suspension kit and had it installed with the Wiborg front suspension and Cusco rear suspension.
My GR handles fantastic now with the Wiborg upgrade but I hate the KW because it is to low, hard and noisy.
I want a Rally coil over kit with a higher ground clearance than the stock because I drive a lot of gravel.
Which Rally coil over kit will you recommend???
Kind regards,
Jeppe.
Hello Jeppe, thankyou for sharing!
Yes, I precisely understand your point and dissatisfaction: I can tell you that if you have a couple months more patience, I am currently developing 3 new kits with Rally characteristics - thru a partnership with a Suspension brand that has won 9 WRC titles!
The three kits are:
- 1-way
- 4-way tarmac, with hydraulic bump stops
- 4-way gravel, with hydraulic bump stops
This time, I am overseeing the complete development, and the kits will not see the market till I am totally satisfied.
Believe me, it will be worth the wait, and I will have an eShop distributing them directly.
Can’t wait to see what the new suspension recommendations will be.
I’m looking to sell my Subaru P1 and buy a GR Yaris and was thinking of fitting the BOS road kit but will wait to see your recommendation.
@rhysevans1401 yes mate, BOS is no longer recommended unfortunately
I’ve been watching your RUclips channel with interest to see what modifications you recommend as the GR Yaris is such a good car in standard form.
I’ll be using the car on Welsh B roads which is like a broken tarmac rally stage!
Exe-tc and Reiger produce some fantastic suspension for this type of application so I will be watching with interest to see what suspension you recommend.
@@rhysevans1401 I may be actually working with one of those two brands to make the new kits now!
Thankyou for supporting, this channel involves a LOT of work! Cheers
Hi Adriano,
hope the Kit will be able for TüV in Germany same Ölins, Bilstein or K&W.😊
This point is addessed already, as follows: each kit will come with a Certificate of Conformity, that will enable you to get TUV approval on your vehicle
Yeah😊@@AJClubsport
Ricordo quando avevi suggerito ad un noto rivenditore di Ohlins di lasciar perdere loro e distribuire il BOS ahahahahahahahah
Si, perché anche con tutti i limiti del caso, questo kit è molto meglio degli Ohlins R&T: forse non hai ascoltato bene quel che ho detto nel video
@@AJClubsportcerto che ho ascoltato, meglio da che punto di vista? Prestazionale?
Hai praticamente detto che ha solo rogne e l’azienda non è seria per niente, servizio e post vendita pessimo, rimane un kit che da grattacapi e non “user friendly” come può essere un road & track o un B16, ció non ha il minimo senso su un’auto stradale. Non comprerei mai un prodotto del genere con tutto il suo “sfortunato” contorno, non ho una scuderia che mi smonta e mi rimonta l’auto ad ogni trackday, deve funzionare e non darmi problemi.
Non è quello che ho detto, queste cose le stai dicendo tu. Cosa centra una scuderia che ti segue, e’ un altro argomento.
Ad ogni modo, se tu sei contento dei tuoi ammortizzatori Tenneco ri-marchiati Ohlins, io sono contento per te!
Io sto parlando di come funziona l’assetto, di cone assorbe le buche mentre vai al massimo, di come funziona in condizioni di scarsa aderenza, ecc. per un uso stradale voltato ai rally a 360*.
Ho lavorato duro dietro a questa gente dietro a mille promesse, ed ho fatto quel che ho potuto finché non e’ stato evidente che non abbiano adottato l’evoluzione per i nuovi clienti, a quel punto mi dissocio.
I don’t think this video leaves you in a good position. You knew all these issues of BOS during you partnership with them and it’s not until now (when you have stopped getting financial incentives) you make them public. I am so very happy I did not follow your (biased, very biased) advice and did not buy BOS. I am sorry for others that did, though, when you knew (and were marketing in favour) of a faulty product.
I just can’t think of how people with follow your recommendations from now on, because everyone is going to think that any brand you recommend on here is paying you to say the nice things of the products while avoiding the bad ones.
Hello,
I don’t think you have seen the whole video or understood it if you have: I GOT NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVES. The problems were only for the most demanding of drivers, and I’ve been held in a weekly loop of calls and emails for two years to make it better and develop a second kit that would had been 3 way but less expensive.
So this leaves me in the honest position of having done right, as I couldn’t just throw shit on something that does work while they are (or said) working on making it better for free and all.
If you work yourself, you should understand
@@AJClubsportcome on mate, you say in the video you got your kit on a REDUCED price in exchange of marketing cooperation. Why on earth are you saying now you don’t have financial incentives? The moment you pay less than retail price for something in exchange marketing work, in any product, YOU ARE GETTING financial incentives… are we crazy or what?
@CDM33333 tone it down: you wrote “untill you were getting financial incentives” that means that someone pays you in time for something. This is NOT the case. I just received a discount for the product upon purchase, and put all my work and testing to try and make it the best on the market (at that price point), almost achieved with the revised version. The problem here is that the company didn’t hold its word in giving the revised product to customers, plus long waiting times and poor customer service, that are the points that led me to take a step away.
Everything that I do is transparent, and I only select the best of the best to cooperate with, but unfortunately I don’t have a crystal ball and shit happens when you work.
AJ really appreciate the channel and information. However on this one I also don't understand how you could recommend a suspension despite knowing it has major issues? The ones that followed your advice now spent a lot of money on an inferior product.
We are not talking about major issues mate, we are talking of making the best possible suspension kit for the money.
The big point is about BOS not implementing the evolution I worked so hard on and the bad support.
If you compare the basic BOS version with a PSS10 or R&T, and I have done it back to back, there is no comparison.
Therefore i may have expressed myself in the wrong way, sorry for that.
At the time it was the best kit out there and I didn’t know about the support issues, as I was lied to: they told me that they had sent springs of the wrong lenght, and many other things that were believable.
People think I make money out of this, the reality is I spend a huge amount, even before counting the time and effort.
Thankyou for commenting reasonably Richard ❤️
Ciao, come probabilmente saprai in Italia la
Maggior parte di chi ha modificato l’assetto ha montato gli olhins road track e sono stati quasi tutti montati da Pierluigi Bocchio, ora io non sono un esperto ma su quelli venduti non ho sentito lamentele ( e sicuramente ci sarà anche chi se ne intende più di me).come ti sarai accorto e’ molto pericoloso promuovere un solo marchio invece di fare una prova comparativa ma apprezzo il fatto di dichiararlo e metterci la faccia.
Io essendo appassionato ,ma non me ne intendo ,ho fatto le modifiche sulla mia gr principalmente raccogliendo le varie opinioni sui social ed ho messo olhins .(+ eventuri, CAE,DTUK,e Yoko A052)
Ritengo quello che fai con questo canale molto importante per chi non ha competenze professionali specifiche, e penso e spero tu lo faccia in maniera onesta, ( di “marchettari”ce ne sono già abbastanza).Sicuramente non ti servo io per metterti in contatto con Olhins ma se ti interessasse fare una comparativa (anche su altre modifiche) sono disponibile a farti provare la mia GR.(sono di Varese). Complimenti per il canale.
Guarda, solo gli italiani comprano gli Ohlins R&T, che in realtà sono degli ammortizzatori Tenneco. Ovviamente li ho testati ed anche avuti in passato: chiunque dica vadano bene, non sa cosa significhi un assetto da gara.
Qui stiamo parlando di prodotti di un altro livello. Io sono un esperto pilota e preparatore da oltre 20 anni, so esattamente cosa dico, non e’ informazione da forum
