So these are sort of a half way, then.

Would the T0 with a bit more spring be a comparable setup that could be facilitated through you guys upon request?
Yup! I'll PM you.

We really really like how these turned out AND we were blown away by the interest in these. To now have to wait so much longer to get them out to everyone is a little bit painful. If you were seriously interested in these, let me know and I'll try to make it up to you.

For curiosity's sake...

Is it supply problems with Bilstein or something else? It's probably just my skewed perspective, but it seems like you have no problems with the WRX/Impreza side of things while us FRS/BRZ guys constantly get the short end of the stick.

Also, any chance for a GTWORX Bilstein fixed perch spring/damper kit down the road?

So we had 3 projects with Bilstein going on at the same time, 2 for Impreza and these for FRS/BRZ. These were finalized last, due to the switch to Swift springs (our Impreza kits do not use Swift). So they were at the back of our list, and then Bilstein picked those to bump back unexpectedly.

We would do a GTWORX Bilstein fixed perch kit if there is enough interest.

I am bummed about this as well; was ready to preorder these for a mid-season upgrade. I've been talking pretty heavily with @Pat about my next move and these were at the top of the list, they would likely be ideal for my street/track/budget needs. Good things are worth waiting for!

Due to legalities in my neck of the woods, this is really relevant to my interests.

Just have to say I had my Bilstein Coilovers Revalved on my own and my goodness they are fantastic, its a shame that these have been delayed but when they come out they will unbelievable value for money!!!

I have the Bilstein B16 which were revalved for Swift 8k springs square, Ive done a few track days on them and my first ever autox and everyone who rode along couldn't care a less about my new supercharger and instead focused on how nice the suspension felt and handled the car!!!


Bilstein is very high quality, RCE is very high quality, together i don't think much in the price range could beat it as an all around coil!!!

Ok, it's getting close to the end of the year now. Do we have any updates?

Also, any more thought on offering a fixed perch GTWORX option?

I'm thinking of getting a set of B16's and having Bilstein US revalve them as well. Would you mind sharing the ID and length of your Swift springs? Are you using tenders? If so, what length and rate? How much lower are you than stock?

Thank you!

Thank you!

I believe I have 8” springs with the 60mm ID. No helper springs, if I end up keeping car over winter I will get helpers next season and move to a 7” spring. I’m not too low on the coils as i have top mounts that lower the car about an inch I believe on front and rear which puts me about 1.25” lower than stock

"Bro, my Godspeeds have 40 levels of adjustment. Clearly they're just as good as any of that overpriced crap!"
