It's been a busy year for us so it's been tough to fully focus on this project. But we think we have a really cool and unique spring set up that I personally am really interested in seeing come to light.

Are there any other sites that would be a good place to get the word out?

The FRS/BRZ/GT86 Marketplace group on Facebook might be a good place in addition to the ones mentioned by Ricepuddin.

I would be interested. I have done rallycross with my brz and it is fun but I would like to be more competitive in my class. Suspension would help with this in my opinion as well as more seat time.

Has there been any numbers or pricing updates? I have attached a picture of my BRZ in action.

Wiscocrashtest · 11-13-2018, 10:08 AM

another bump - Still interested whenever pricing and spring rates are available

Racecomp Engineering · 12-28-2018, 01:46 PM

Bump. Hoping for a prototype this winter.

Racecomp Engineering · 01-31-2019, 10:08 AM

Working on it. Timing isn't great with other RCE projects but I might just do this on my own soon.

We're going to have to get creative with how we do this project when it comes time to production, i.e. a group buy type of deal. Exploring ideas.

But then again real rally coilovers DO handle seemingly impossible.

And cost as much as our cars!

I can pass the info around some of the rallyx groups I'm in when the time comes - might be some takers...

Heck - the WI 86 club might want them for our lovely roads here.

Good news: All of RCE is 100% on board. When the time comes, we'll probably have the springs, and additonally a full package of Bilstein B6, mudflaps, wheels, 4 pot/2pot brakes, etc. And maybe a shift knob.

Bad news: The hold up at this point is the increased cost of prototype springs. We have specs that we want, but obviously we won't do this without significant testing. The cost of protos went up by 5x which is a pretty big bummer and selfishly I was hoping to be crushing snow drifts by now in my own car.

We are working on it and will make it happen.

Assuming I still have the car when this happens I'll be in. I tried to put a car seat in the back and my old ass (old for this forum anyways) couldn't do it.

Any updates on the progress of this package or at least the suspension?
