I'm interested in getting a set of these. I was looking to get coilovers in the next couple months, so this group buy would be perfect. Keep us updated and is there a cheaper price if we get a over a certain amount of ppl?

As far as pricing, I'm not 100% certain. I'll be sure to let you guys know. Like I said though, I'm still going to judge the quality on these coils before supporting any sort of GB. I don't want to be spreading any sort of low quality products among fellow 8 owners! Review soon to come...


For now, though:

Not yet installed, but Check out some pics. These may look familiar to many, though with slight differences

From the factory, these came with 9k/6k springs rates (200mm/175mm lengths, respectively). I opted to go with a 10k/7k setup (200mm/200mm lengths).

All four lined up!

Yeah, it would be nice to see what kind of prices we could get with a good group buy.

Thanks for the input guys

As far as pricing - I don't think it will be any lower than those on the first page. Even at that, those are my estimates, I will need to clarify. Compare these coilovers with others in the price range($800-1200) and it's soon apparent these are a bit of a step up. For reference, the standard pricing on these coils is $995, $1199, and $1499 respectively. This GB pricing will only be if we can get ~10 people to commit with either a 50% deposit or payment in full. I'll have more details when I green light it so stay tuned!

Anyways, some stuff came up and I wasn't able to get them installed - looks like I'll be waiting until next weekend before having them on the car.

Maybe, just maybe it will work! Best of luck






Ah, sorry for no update everyone, I've just been slammed with work lately. I should get these on within the next couple of weeks, as well as some new wheels. I'll be posting a thread in the gallery section and cross-linking it here, so keep an eye out

As others have mentioned, Stance GR+. Well, the price differs greatly, that's one difference, haha.

9k - these will be open to order with any spring rate/length desired (note my set was 10k/7k, 200mm front and rear)

Looking forward to see how these turn out. I'll be in the market for new suspension in about a month or so.
