MCA Suspension. Anyone have them on their 86?
I've heard a lot of good things about them from racing and rallying circles. Has anyone installed them on an 86/FRS/BRZ yet?

I don't think many people here would have experience on MCA. best to enquire this on some Aussie forums.
i have spoken to Josh @ MCA and he is very knowledgible. If 6 months ago i knew they will release the Red/Blue series I would have waited and not purchase my KW V3 just because their knowledge and local support. |

Talk to @Jason@Nameless, they're close with MCA from what I understand and will soon have MCA products on their development vehicle.

Yeah I didn't think many people on here would have experience with them. There are a lot of Australians on here considering.
My Dad has a set of the gold series they made custom for him. They are pretty good. Just wanting to see if anyone has the blue or red series yet and what there impression of them are. |

I'm interested in the blues as well but I'd need to have a chat with MCA first to see what they'd recommend for me. |

Blues come with 6kg springs. Other springs are extra.
A Brissy customer has just ordered a set of Blues with 5kg springs. I'll get him to do a write up when they're installed. |

One of the greatest/nicest/best-est things about MCA is when you call you are speaking to the people who designed/made the units. They are happy to chat to you about suspension in general which is great if you are noobish (like me). I am not suggesting the Blues or Reds require tweaking (not at their price points) but if you want/need to have customisation the Cootes can do that for you too.
