GTWORX is proud to introduce their first height adjustable coilover for the Subaru WRX/STI and BRZ. Built in a partnership with Bilstein, a world leader in monotube gas pressure shock absorbers, the new GTWORX Trophy Cup coilovers are an exciting new option at an attractive price for Subaru track day enthusiasts and weekend warriors.

GTWORX Trophy Cup Coilovers can be used with stock top mounts or optional camber plates.

The valving on these is very different than Bilstein B14 and B16, which are both quite soft in terms of damping and springs. Regular Bilstein B14 would not IMO support 400 lbs/in springs and even with B16 (PSS10) you would be at the upper end of adjustment. We got these dialed in really well...very daily drivable and great on the track with Bilstein durability.

Let me know if you have any questions. :)

Nice! Has a price been established for them yet?

How do these compare to the RCE T2's with 400lb/in springs for both DD and track use? I don't see this set on your website yet - what is the pricing like?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post pricing here in the tech forum, so PM for that. It will be up on the website soon.

The T2s are a little more track capable...the 2 way damping adjustment flexibility lets you set them more aggressively and get more compression damping. And of course you can turn them down for the street easily. As a DD with the T2s on all soft settings both do very well, maybe a slight edge to the Bilsteins but not by much (essentially a toss up).

You have a PM, thanks!

Hmm. Wording on fitment confuses me a bit. Surely there are specific ones made for cars listed, not one kit for all of them?
BTW, what might be shock minimum drop & travel vs stock for these?

Yes it's a specific BRZ application of course! Not one for all 3 cars. :)

I'm already at home for the day but I'll get you the minimum drop and total travel when I get back in on Monday.

Excellent! Are these available now? Price? :D

NLSP 01-07-2017 03:56 AM

Since the damping is fixed, is this essentially like a firmer RCE Tarmac 0?

NLSP - From the other thread:

The T0 actually have a little more low speed compression, but the gas pressure of the GTWORX coilovers helps to make up for that. All that said, they both ride really well and I wouldn't hesitate to daily drive either one even on the crap roads around here. Bilsteins better over big bumps, T0 better over smaller imperfections.

I would prefer the GTWORX coilovers on the track. They're very close, these are just another option.

We're pretty pumped about the response from everybody! We're excited about these too.
