I see the H&R Coilovers on corsport, but I've yet to see anyone with them. Does anyone know anything about them?

You're making my day if indeed T1R is coming out with a coilover system for our cars!

I-NTEC · 10-31-2006, 11:56 PM

well thats what j's racing told me. my dad buys alot of stuff for his s2000 from them. he said a header from j's is on the way and so is the coilovers(from T1R). he also told me about the wing, front lip and catback and they all came out, so i believe him just not on the time span. by the way i asked him why j's is coming out for stuff for basically a north american car and he said it has potential

lol thanks for the help epracer but i read it already and they didnt follow up on the bottoming out.

Mmm...my Japanese Brand Aftermarket Shopping List continues to grow...

I'm not pissed, but I'm a little annoyed at AJRacing right now, actually. You'd think they have a soundclip for a car they use for Time Attacks, but they kinda boffed on me. I didn't mind the "no", but it was kinda "No, sorry sucka". Ah well, I'll just buy the J's exhaust then see how it sounds.

there currently is no fix for the Megans bottoming out...

i've been in contact with them...last word was that they are awaiting info. from their R+D department concerning the issue as a number of people have the said issues.

u can temporarilly fix the issue by raising the ride height of the car or increasing strut movement.... but that defeats the purpose of having coilovers... i don't want my car raised!!!

the springs in the back are too soft...at 6kgf/mm it's just too week for the damping the struts provide... the advertised the spring rates as 10kgf/mm and i've yet to see or hear of anyone who has that....

it's just ridonculous!!! but i'm waiting fo word from them to see what they come up with as a fix....

BTW...the fronts are 8kgf/mm how the hell can they have the back softer?

**sickyute** · 11-01-2006, 12:22 AM
