The spring rates are like the motons, interesting. Could I track with these? Dampening adjustment? Do you sell the shocks if one blows separately and how much do you charge for it?

A few guys are using them on the track, the spring rates are really nice and sporty on teh street, these are the rates I have on my turbo car and it feels extremely intuitive at all speeds.

The coil overs are life time guaranteed against leaks so if there is a leak ever, just send it in and we will get it fixed and shipped back at no charge.

Steve, PM sent.

So these are stock replacement? Nothing to add, modify, cut, re-route, etc. ? The height adjustment can be changed?

Your stock coilovers are replaced by these , up front just unbolt stock coil overs, bolt these in. In the rear, remove stock coil overs, remove the forks from your stock coil overs and bolt the forks to these new coil overs and bolt them into place, adjust height, make sure your alignment is in spec to what you want and you are done.

we basically have the same height but I do have Vipair's coilover sleeve and ride suuuuuuuuuuuucks! It literally feels like riding a horse. hahah! I guess this coilover is better than the sleeves? My ass literally launches off the seat when I hit a rough road.

on second note, I think this is a tad bit lower I pretty much maxed out the rears with no visible thread showing and probably half an inch of thread showing in front. Will I get improved ride quality on these sets Steve? What's your opinion?

I would say that your car is at least 3 inches lower than stock. you may have your shocks bottomed right out so you are just driving on metal vs springs. The 1 inch lower version will definitely work better on your car a and give you some actual travel should you decide to go this low.

^^^ So you have a 1 inch lower coilover? Would I need to max it out to achieve this height?

chances are you are riding on the top of your coilover right now, so the new 1 inch lower one would have at least 1" of useable travel for you at that height. I would suggest a stiffer spring than normal as you usually want to avoid bottoming out on top of your shock so the stiffer the spring the more we prevent bottoming out.

This may look good and even if you can get a little travel to "help" the ride the car is too low to handle well. It may be responsive, but the bump steer is so far off I would hate to trust the suspension to give you consistent results for handling, not to mention the pan has to be less then 2.5" off the ground with no real protection. There are ways to correct the bump steer, but they are limited and the suspension geometry was never designed for a ride this low. If you don't care about the actual handling or predictability just the look then to each his own.

did you go with 20/20 set up

 

[viper04]

Nice!! like the out come. How is the ride?

 

[JAY]

Yes , how is the Ride ?

Nice!! like the out come. How is the ride?

 

[Gilamonster]

I went with the 19/20 set up and love the ride.... Nice and smooth, but not all bouncy when you go over a bump. Much more comfortable than the stock set up.

 

[NO HEMI]

that looks nice, any more pictures??

 

[Nader]

Not necessarily. My rear HRE 20's with 345 25s are slightly shorter than the stock 19 inch setup.

When you upsize rims you go with a lower profile tire. The goal is to get to the same(or close to) overall diameter as stock. In the case of 20"ers im pretty sure the tire does end up alittle bigger.(but not by an inch)

Also, one of the biggest pluses of coil-over shocks is that they have a threaded shock body so the spring perch can be spun up or down on it raising/lowering the vehicle.
