Yes you know we did the 100# springs already, but for those that wanted a little more on the sporty side. the 140/160 offers an excellent light sport suspension suitable for daily driving and hitting the track. Excellent all around spring.

We are putting together a special offer that includes the trailing are suspension bushings and NEW shocks, the final numbers are not yet in on the other goodies.

The springs are also available from PMB, Pelican and Stoddard, in both 100 and the progressive 140/160.

So if you are interested in a special GB that includes the all the rear goodies you will need to take the squeak out and make your ride corner better let me know here.

PS the shock are also German, details are in the works, more to follow.

We wanted the best springs available, and know that the way to do it is use the best people to do it. They are not the cheapest, but you can see why in the process video.

We didn't just want a commodity to make as cheaply as possible and check a box. It's a process that is quite complex. We partnered with Ibach to make these as they were the best we could find. They are active in race development and each set of springs is actually actually tested with tight QC.

These are actually made in the US which was VERY important in that metallurgy in some countries can be dubious at best.

There is a second older video after it that is pretty informative.

Who is the shock manufacturer?

Posted by: Mikey914 Oct 16 2019, 03:14 PM

I can say it will be German at this point. Still nailing down details. But will be an Excellent value. I'm sure I could get many more to opt in just for the shocks, but we are doing as a package deal.

I only live about a mile from where they are made
Seems a shame to ship all the way up there then back

What ride height should these leave the car at? Stock? Lowered a little? Lowered a lot?

Somewhat depends on the weight of the car. If you are running a 6, these should sit about the same, perhaps up to 1/2" higher. I don't have a 6 to check these on, but this is what the math suggests. Of course, you can go adjustable.

Mine is a mostly stock 2.0 4cyl and I am not interested in anything higher than stock height.
The Koni's I ran in the past had 3 or 4 different grooves for the spring seat circlip.

For that the 100# version would be where I’d go.
