True Coilovers

[Norcal Performance]

I am looking into the possibility of makeing my own Racing true coilovers. These will be just like the JIC coilovers but adjustable damping from inside the car itself. The price of these would run about $1400 retail. Now since you guys are like family I will offer you guys a nice little deal For the first 5 preorders. I will sell them for $1250 shipped. Not just that but I will allow you to do a layaway plan. Terms are flexable. As long as I get the total amount in a somewhat timely manner is all I ask. So $100 every couple of weels can be possible. I should be finding out very soon if this will go through. But if anybody is interested in this please let me know. I need to make sure there is enough of a demand for such a product.

im set with ground control and agx right now and there's some what of a sketchy word of tien's coming out with a full true coilover setup im happy with what i have right now but down the line if and when the tiens come out id probably have to go with that or these sounds like a good price for a true coilover setup

[TJC]

Well everyone knows how desperate we need a good complete suspension setup. The JIC's are two-way adjustable and would be nice to have an option like that which is made specifically tested and balanced for the Galants. Keep us posted.

what kinda time frame are we looking at here? i mean some people might not wanna wait so long...but then some people might not have the money in time if the time frame is way too short (doubt that one). also u said it can be adjustable from the interior of the car, how is that controlled? electronically, mechanically what? and what kinda of modifications do u have to do to the car to not only install the suspension but the controls 4 it too

[Ghost Beat]

oh thats what i forgot if its interior controlled is it like the tiens wich u can sit inside and has a little console you can electronically adjust the settings by?

[Norcal Performance]

They would be exactly like the Teins. You will be able to sit inside the car and adjust the Damping of the struts to make them either a firm or soft setting and anywere inbetween.

very nice and the price is 1,250 for everything? well ofcourse besides the install shippin and all for the first 5 reserves the EDFC and all? anyway for those who are wondering what this stuff is here's a pic of Teins EDFC



here's a link to the tein page with info about the EDFC and install instructions and stuff mind you this is for the tein set up for other cars but the people on here should be able to make out what they need from it

This sounds very interesting!! Would this setup be "user friendly" and allow a local shop to install it or is this a specialty item that is super difficult to install? Also, I guess with this it would be a complete suspension... coilovers, struts (or whatever) and this control unit?

Thanks

[Ghost Beat]

ya thats what i asked him if its all that togehter for that price thats a deal and a half

[TJC]

If it's anything like the TEIN's, I believe there were some fitment issues with the EDFC's but don't quote me on that. Anyway, if something like this is being worked out, don't forget about the clearance issues.

[Ghost Beat]

ya but most the time if its a true coil set up its made for the car so hopefully we wont have to worry too much about stuff

[Norcal Performance]

Okay guys, here's a little more info on these.

These will be built to our exact specifications. Whatever we want....we can have done. Total customization!

These will blow the JIC coilovers out of the water...both in Price and Performance! There will be no comparison.

We need 20 confirmed orders to make these. Now I understand alot of you have money alotted for other projects. That is why we're offering a layaway program. So basically you can make the payments until they're paid for. Starting now.

So come on guys....you've always wanted a TRUE COILOVER kit....not sleeved with KYB's underneath. This will all be together in one package....100% specific to these cars and spring rates....all for a very good price!

Also for the "inside customization" it is doable...however signifigantly more expensive. But if people want that, and we get the orders, then we'll go that way.

Thanks

if your going to be offering the layaway plan count me in, you can email me at [email protected]

thanks

[TJC]

Honestly Tim, we all want a better system but for you to ask for 20 ppl to come up with the cash for you to develop a product is a hard sell. I'm not knocking your ability or quality but most of us don't know you or your company. If it was a really inexpensive product like around $50, then you might get 20 takers but this is a lot of money to front for a new production/custom product. This is just my opinion on the matter; wish there was a better resolution to this dilemma.

[Norcal Performance]

you know I was thinking the same thing earlier. I've been working on coming up with some way around that. Because I know that is a lot of money to cough up for something untested.

I will see if I can come up with any ideas.

Thanks for that point though...

Thanks

So come on guys....you've always wanted a TRUE COILOVER kit....not sleeved with KYB's underneath.

Whats wrong With KYB's??? 8) you're saying like KYB's is something like someone can buy it from 99 cents store.

[Norcal Performance]

There's nothing wrong with KYB's in fact I will be running with them myself until this kit is made.

However as good as say Ground Controls/KYB combo is, it really doesnt compare to a TRUE coilover setup, wherein the strut and spring are tuned and matched specifically for the car.

I understand that both the GC's and the KYB's are both tuned for our cars but not neccessarily for use together. This setup is a good setup, but it doesnt allow you the customization that a true coilover setup does.

This set-up to be honest will not be for everybody. Thats a given. If all you want to do is drop the car a couple inches for show and and a bit better performance...then these arent for you.

However if you want full customization and plan to do any sort of auto-x racing or drag racing....heck even if you just really love to drive your car hard and want the control to back that up.....then this kit will be for you.

So I'm not knocking KYB's at all. I know how long it took for them to be made and they are a very good product.

Thanks

I understand your point completely............a coil-over and shock combo will NOT work as good as a well built true coil-over system. Hell, why do you think that ALL the top professionals use true coil-over systems.........simply because they work a hell of a lot better. A while back in a SCC magazine issue (testing a 99 civic Si), they got a 1.05g on the skidpad with a full coil-over set up and DOT legal tires..........a feat that many exotic cars have trouble reaching. I have yet to see any numbers like this be posted in a 2600lb+ fwd car on a sleeved coi-over and shock combo.

To tell you the truth, I think that the price is decent............there are some full coil-over systems that retail at over $2000. Maybe if you could sell the first set of coil-overs for maybe half price (~$600-700), that way someone could buy it, try it out, and give his/her honest opinion about handling, comfort, etc................that way people would tend to believe more in the system.

[Ghost Beat]

tim couldnt have said it better the agx and coil combo is fine if you wana just drop and have some performence but if you want to push is to a whole another level the true coil setup would be definately the way to go im probably gona have to do this but im happy with my gc and agx combo for now but most defiantely in a while i will have to do this

[Norcal Performance]

Thats a possibility, we'd have to look into it.

One thing I had thought of, I'll have to look into the feasability of it is to have a prototype made, so we can have it fitted and tested. But I'll look into it..

Thanks
