One package will be the RCE springs, Bilstein B6 dampers, and Pedders camber/caster strut top mounts. The extra caster from the top mounts is important with the higher steering angles in rally-x and it's good to get a little camber without using a cam bolt.

We'll also have an (optional) bushing/insert package to improve feel and responsiveness.

15 and 16 inch wheels from BRAID and Enkei will be available through us as well.

Not officially accepting preorders yet...but if you PM I can put your name on our list so you'll be contacted once they're ready.

We're leaning towards red for the springs.

I'm ordering my wheels soon, which is a sign.

Let me know if you're interested if you haven't already and I'll add you to the list.

Still leaning towards red for the springs. Maybe black.

Still a few things outside our control, but slowly moving forward. Wish I could give a firm ETA but I won't do that until I believe it myself.

They're coming though.

Any updates around this? Planning to do my first rallycross in a couple weeks, assuming my car is out of the body shop in time.

Given the current chaotic state of manufacturing in the US and worldwide, ETAs for ANY sort of mass produced parts are becoming difficult to provide...

^ This.

We were getting close to being able to provide a tentative ETA, but Eibach is now on limited staffing. I'm not sure what to expect but we will keep everyone posted.

We've finalized spring specs and committed to the final prototypes before the 1st production run. The plan shortly before COVID 19 was to get the final prototypes on my car in time for my first rallyx of the season (April...unclear if it's still happening).

Those prototypes were a hurdle because the cost went up astronomically since we last did them. I'm actually dipping into my own personal funds to do them because 1) I want them, 2) I don't want to drastically increase the cost of the springs to all of you. We want to ensure that everything is spot the F on before production, no excuses.

We now have to wait a little bit more. But we are almost there. Please bear with us and we'll make sure your patience is rewarded.

- Andrew

(also, we're still vendors...reupped yesterday and waiting for it to show up)

The latest from Eibach is that they expect to have engineers back in 3 or 4 weeks. That sounds great, but also seems a little optimistic to me. Either way, we're in the queue for the prototypes. We don't know how long the queue is but we're staying on top of it!

We're almost ready to release more details on the final specifications and pricing.

If you would like to be notified when the springs are ready for purchase, please fill out the form at the following link:
https://forms.gle/qB1bkRKh2k34C4VP7

This has been an exciting project and we can't wait to share it with you.

I've been pushing this HARD trying to get everyone on board for a very non-conventional project. Thank you for all the interest so far...we're almost there!
