Ultimate coilovers - prototyping continues

Update on the ultimate coilover project... the second rear prototype fabrication is started this week. meanwhile i have found ways to improve here and there on the production parts. the kit will feature tender springs to aid traction on unloaded wheels and also to eliminate the possibility of noise caused by loose spring on unloaded side. also helps at road imperfections when you run high spring rates. another addition is noise reduction cushions between the strut and the springs. the springperches will be made of billet aluminum from now, to save weight. front strut top spring plate was also redesigned to have a tapered roller bearing inside instead my earlier design with axial thrust ball bearing. this is also to reduce noise and to reduce spring misalignment on loads. the coating of the parts were also changed, steel parts will be black chrome coated, alloy parts will be anodized black. the rear coilovers changed the most since the first design. now they are the same diameter as the fronts and also use the same internal parts. Theres one problem though, with all the additional parts and improvements, more expensive materials, coatings, better springs, these all come together and makes this kit an expensive one. As I see more people interested in this set i really wonder now, how many people would actually buy this. the kit will cost about €1200-1300. I know it is much more expensive compared to the regular chinese products. there are several reasons for this: #1: it is made in europe, #2. limited production, #3 does not share common parts with other manufacturers products. #4. best possible quality in machining, materials, and coatings. Anyway, please comment here, send me a message or e-mail me if you are seriously considering getting yourself the ultimate coilover kit! This email address is being protected from spambots.
