thought you said youre installing these today tilt !!! hurry up already dude lol

 

+1 lol!!

 

Cant Wait

 

Installed yesterday, still tweaking a few things. Has more adjustability, just waiting on new wheels to finish then I'll get an alignment and call it a day!

 

Also just wanted to mention, after 100 miles of these on full soft I have to say I am very impressed. The ride is extremely compliant, especially considering I went from 7/5 to 10/7. Mind you, I am on a DIY alignment so I can assume it is lacking accuracy but even then, I am impressed with how smooth the ride is with these rates. Bumps in the road seem to be absorbed better than my HKS, though spring rates are noticably stiffer.

Stay tuned, more coming soon. Still waiting for everything to break-in/settle. Then it will be new wheels & tires, proper alignment, and some aggressive driving.

 

sweet. im looking for something that can go pretty low and still be comfortable for normal city driving. i look forward to what you think once you have everything adjusted and dialed in with some spirited driving. keep us posted man!

 

Definitely will! Keep in mind, I've got the autopower race bar as well as whiteline sways so my setup will be a bit stiffer than just coils. If you were to go with the streets with standard 9k/6k rates I think the ride would be optimal for street driving comfort with the occasional canyon cruise.

 

when will this group buy be on??

 

Looks great! Get some results on the track so we can get this group buy going!

 

I'm in as soon as tilt opens the group buy!!!

 

I'm interested.

I have a dead drivers side rear strut so I was going to replace all 4 with coils either way

 

interesting read.

thanks tilt

 

175cm in the Rear is going to be LOW. I ended up ordering a set of 10k front 8k rear in 200mm for my Gr+'s.

 

Ride height won't really differ given the different spring lengths - the height is adjustable, regardless of spring length. The only difference is it will put the collars in the rear a bit higher in order to reach comparable ride height (1" difference, though the shock bodies are threaded high enough to allow full adjustability with the 175mm springs).

Forgot to mention, the pistons on these were also noticeably thicker than those on my HKS Hipermax - this surprised me as well.

 

any updates on this GB??

 

P i c s ! ! !

 

I'm jeluzzzzz...

 

Any more pics?

 

Well, like I mentioned, I was hoping to wait until I got my new wheels on before doing a photoshoot and really opening the GB but the powdercoater has been lagging, so it may be a bit longer.

I'll take some candid shots within the next few days to illustrate ride height after the springs have settled. Mind you, my car is currently set up with very light preload -> no spring droop + this ride height + full suspension travel = in my book. Won't be hitting those bump stops any time soon!

At this point, I'm going to be speaking with Powertrix about starting a GB asap. Let's see how many here are game for this - Either PM me or post here which you are seriously interested in and I'll add your name to the new list on post #1 (please, only seriously interested indicate so, I don't want to give them empty promises!). Assume pricing to be around the price indicated in the initial post; rear top mounts included, rear extenders included, spanner wrenches, custom spring rates/lengths if desired, etc. I'm proud to be helping a new company offer the best value coilovers for our platform - let's do this!

 

PM'd

 

OP updated

 

Computer won't let me send a PM for whatever reason, but I would be down for the race coilovers for the group buy. You can add me to the list good sir.

 

Done!

 

which coilovers did you go with again??

 

I went with the Race coils, 10k 200mm springs front & 7k 200mm springs rear.

Let's see if we can only get a few more guys, shooting for 10 to definitely make this happen!
