Did you see our announcement, $649 Coilover Kits?

The new V-Maxx coilovers are now available and I wanted to make sure everyone was aware. Pete, Stratmosphere

I just dropped the price to $599! That includes the drop links for the front sway bar too. I have 10 pieces in stock right now. Pete, Stratmosphere. 1.866.533.1777.

If you search around you should be able to find reviews on these kits. We are nearing 100 kits sold now in the USA alone. Pete

Well, we lowered the price to $599 in February. It's a busy season now and we are running through the inventory. Probably no sale until the Holiday time. Pete

Ill let you know soon. Got mine yesterday!... just have to put them on hopefully sometime in the next two weeks or so...

But from my research is they ride similar to stock...potentially a little bouncy compared to other coilovers, but these are not meant for autoXing and racing....

We'll see... they seem like a good build quality at least

From your sig, I see you already have H&R springs. Why the change?

before: (H&R springs)



after:



yes i plan on raising it up a tad lol. it does get around town just fine though.
Rides well, but like I researched, they are very noisy... which might go with having not-so-much initial compression on the springs with them down so low... sounds like a box of scrap metal in the trunk. ill be investigating this weekend. My guess is the lack of any rubber between parts, but whoknows.

under:

Oh yep. I didnt have the shock top nuts tight enough. Had a really crappy impact gun.

Basically when the car would put load on them the 'foam pillow things' (which you reuse from stock stuff) would compress I think and then the shock shaft could tap the edge of the hole or something up in there.

Tightend the rear nuts to 12 threads showing and it stopped. Still had a few creaky spring noises up front, but nothing like the rear was doing. I never retightened the fronts, though probably would have helped. Things go together pretty solidly up front.

Any chance that could be what is making the noise on mine? Every time I accelerate hard I hear like a metal tapping noise or clicking noise only from the left side. The noise is def driver side somewhere around the suspension. I only have NM springs with the stock shocks. Maybe the bolt loosed up? I can't figure out what the noise is.
