They should be able to be configured with a wide assortment of springs, STi springs included.

We are still testing, unfortunately Austin had the inj seal failure so he was only able to make one session before blowing the engine. The good news is they worked great and it was a mater of tuning. I still plan on mid Dec to have the first batch together, the instructions may just be a you tube install until I can get the product stable to hard publish everything.
Thanks for looking DougW |

Just got back from SEMA with some ideas to integrate into the product and some suppliers to get setup with. The product itself is ready but coming up with springs, camber plates that don't rattle and the final package is still on going. I also will be supplying a new diff carrier with both the Torsen gears and a clutch slip in one piece this will be the best of both worlds as an option. So I guess the answer is I'm still working on the package as a whole and at some point will shoot the eng and go into production. Interesting the Bilstein eng watch this site and followed this thread.
Thanks for asking DougW |

Supposedly the Hanchey camber plates don't rattle, low NVH.
So springs and plates will not be available as add-ons, only complete kits will be sold? |

The RS*R coilovers i'm using are noise-less. The front also has a built in bearing to allow the spring to rotate as it compresses. Just a suggestion...

Sorry guys I haven't been able to get any track data since Austin's car is down with bad injector seals. I'm stuck right now not wanting to sell something that isn't ready or may need to be changed because of lack of track time. I've got the shocks and electronics worked out and for the most part have camber plates machined, still working on isolating the camber plate bearings so that a year from now they don't start making noise. the spring package I am looking at are 300/350 beehive type so that the shock boots can be used and not rub on wider wheels. I'm open to suggestions on track testing but until some tracks reopen and some temp gets back it may be a few more months unless you want to take the risk on unforeseen problems as beta testers.
Thanks DougW |
