Koni/Redshift Coilovers

[RedShiftChris]

Quick update. We are still on schedule to deliver everything as ordered by May 15th. :)

Suspensions:

Front -

In front, we'll be using 6" Free Length, 2.5" ID springs (3 cheers for travel). They are Eibach Race Springs, in case you didn't already know. Threaded collars are a treated steel incorporated into the top cap, which threads onto the OD of the stock housing (after we fab the housing to accomodate it). The stock lower spring perch will be removed on all coilover front setups so that the extra travel of a 6" front spring can be used.

The upper spring perch is a trick modified strut bearing which uses an anodized aluminum lower half with 0-rings to accomodate the 2.5" ID spring.

And optional front upper camber/caster plate is available for $295 ($370 retail). It's the K-Mac Camber/Caster Plate that you can see at the following links, under "New Products".
Welcome to K-MAC, Camber Kits, Caster Kits, Springs, Swaybars.

Rear -

In rear, we use an anodized aluminum upper spring collar with a 2.5" ID spring, held to the frame using 1 Nutsert per side (optional).


Shocks -

Shocks are Koni Sports, Koni Race (with Single or Double Adjustable Config). I should note that all rear RACE shocks (SA and DA) are available upon custom fabrication by Koni...we don't have control over that.


EXHAUSTS - We are going to have pictures of our new exhaust in about 1 week, probably just after this pre-sale. We'll have sound and power testing following that as we can get to it.


Sale end in less than 1 week! :)

Will the Kmac camber plates work the stock struts?

[s0opa_Si]

sorry i didnt read the pages of this whole thread, but i will probably get flamed for this,
but i'm still a bit confused with the Koni products. So far I understand that there are Koni coilover system, which are the Koni Redshift(race coilover). The Koni yellows are replacement shocks correct like the Tokico blues are? correct me if im wrong.

Now that we have the flaming out of the way..

Yes, koni yellows and tokico blues are both after market shocks. The difference is tokico blues are hardly even better than stock dampers while koni yellows are probably the best handling setup on these cars ATM.

Yes they will. And stock size springs or 2.5 ID race springs like in our coilover design. But you have to specify exactly what you want so it is sized correctly with the proper bearing sleeve and spring perch.

would the koni reds w/sportlines or prokits handle better than the HFP suspension?

I not quite sure which one to grab, as they are similar in price. Only about at 200 price difference.

They will be very similar I think. It will be hard to tell the difference maybe.

i was thinking to run the yellow's with the neus'. seems like the sportlines are its best bet.

Run the Pro-Kits instead.

[autoxmnstr]

pro kit springs + koni yellows = best for road racing?? Correct me if i'm wrong

[RedShiftChris]

what do you mean by road racing? ProKit isn't the best handling.... a good coilover setup with different rates would be best for what I call "road racing". What do you mean by road racing?
