Well if you care about making the car handle well on the track, then you'll want more than a pro-kit. I'd suggest something like our adjustable height suspension setup with a good rate.... something in the 400/500 range perhaps... or more. It won't be as comfy as a pro-kit setup but the car will handle like it's on rails... in fact you may even want to go up to 600 in back.

Come on Chris. 600 in the back? 900 in the back sounds better

I'm excited to see finished product photos installed on a car without a wheel. I'm also looking forward to reading reviews on these bad boys.

What spring rates do you guys recommend for a car that'll be daily driven, but will see HPDE's and autox? Thanks.

You want a price on just front inserts? Or you want the price including fab to install them? coilover or fixed spring?

Thanks,
Chris at RedShift
I will do sir and I wanted to know for the coilvoer price with fab?

And they broght back the store. Good to hear it. I was when I heard the store went away in the first place. Cash flow is hard to come by when you aren't selling anything. I need to win the lotto and buy hella stuff from the Mega Store.

I'd recommend 400/500 for the street with a Progress rear swaybar.

I'll try to speak for Josh at Excelerate and say he will be in the $1424 street price for the Coilovers and RedShift/Koni Sports....I don't see our stuff listed anywhere by him yet. That includes fab. Add $180 for a strut core charge if you don't want to send yours in first.

Cheers,
Chris at RedShift

Question for you guys.

I purchased the Koni Yellows with the Prokits, but now i'm kind of wondering if I might want to go with the adjustable Race Springs later. Will you sell those seperate? Just the springs with the sleeves?

And have any emails or anything been sent out yet? I was charged, but i've never received any info that my order is confirmed.

Hi Eric... yeah we just initiated your shipment today. It'll be picked up by UPS tomorrow and should arrive next week. Look for the tracking info from Josh in the next couple days.

All suspensions have been "shipped" but not picked up yet. Only the coilover guys are waiting for camber plates now.

Hope you all like them. Please provide us with feedback as soon as you receive them..... should be early next week for most of you.

Cheers,
Chris at RedShift

Oh, and yes you can purchase only the coilover setup... the front struts will need to have their lower spring perch cut off to accept the coilover sleeve and you can send them back to us if you need that or do it yourself.

i just got my koni yellows and sportlines this afternoon. everything looks good - all the parts arrived. the only thing thats kinda weak about them is the installation instructions but they're probably the same as any other shock. going to install them Friday hopefully and then test them out.

Not worried about quality, I just wanted to be a me firster. BTW, You Bastard for getting to test them out. Are you testing them without the plates?
