Going Very Well!! We're incredibly excited about this project.

More info in the next couple of days.

Please refrain from using the word "dampening" in promotional marketing material. Its use runs rampant in the rebranded coilover market, and I stop reading as soon as I see it. :sad:

I can't be the only performance purist who is annoyed by this. :baby:

What word do you prefer? We prefer compression.

I see it all the time too. It's 'damping', not "dampening". Nothing is getting moist (I hope).

Hopefully your passengers underwear is after installing JBR coilovers! :arms:

But yes, the word is damping. Compression only refers to one action the damper is handling.

Here's a little teaser....

@JBR;

Nice! Would those camber plates fit other coilovers and be sold separately? Also, any plans on rear end links?

Good eye.

subydoored 06-16-2016 05:31 AM

interested how much longer?

i am in need new stuff before end of july..

KiwiFlavor 06-16-2016 06:34 AM

Will these be re-buildable? Any options for re-valving?

This. Also will we be able to order custom spring rates?

JBR 06-16-2016 11:03 AM

They are fully re-buildable.

There will be no options at this time for re-valving or custom spring rates. Maybe in the future though.

SpeedyTurd 06-16-2016 11:28 AM

@JBR; What about 2 options?
Street and for another option something more track aggressive? Sounds like a best of both worlds. Custom valving might be too much right off the start trying to bring a new producte to market for you guys. But having a Street/ Light Track options would be great possibly for more sales And less pressure for custom stuff?:ms3rick:

thems3driver 06-16-2016 11:46 AM

Dammit and I just installed swift springs...can only hope the camber plates don't require cutting out the strut tower opening. Me no likey to cut the car.

Btw it's looking good.

We've incorporated a very wide range of compression, rebound and height adjustment in to these making them perfect for both the street and the track.

BigBoostMS3 06-16-2016 06:06 PM

Will the camber plates be available separately?

subydoored 06-17-2016 12:42 PM

So when will these be up for sale?

Have a shock dyno that shows the full sweep? :banana:

Interested to see how aggressive the rebound is.

MD1032 06-17-2016 01:19 PM

Yeah I was going to ask the same thing. There's a lot of crappy dampers out there where the knob doesn't really have a linear relationship with the force.

JBR 06-17-2016 01:36 PM

There is a shot of the shock dyno on our Facebook page from several weeks ago. I will post it here later this afternoon.

[R]usty 06-17-2016 02:21 PM

Damn Jamie nice work! If I didn't already have KW V3 I would be all over these. That price is damn good considering they're both compression and rebound adjustable.

They are compression and rebound adjustable in the same way that BC coilovers are compression and rebound adjustable (using one knob to adjust both simultaneously).

Your V3s are considerably more fine-tunable.

Didn't realize that thanks for clarifying.

This is correct.

We chose to go with a single adjustment for both to keep the price point where we felt it needed to be.

More importantly, the ease of adjustment between different driving styles and surfaces is extremely beneficial. Have a soft setup for the DD duties, mid range for the mountains and canyons, and a little stiffer valving setup for the occasional track duty. The double adjustment can open a can of worms a lot of us just dont have the time, the care, or simply the basic understanding of how to adjust compression/rebound separately for a given surface/setup.

It sounds like you have identified a supplier with the means to offer a double adjustable should the market call for a track specific damper, but targeted a much larger market to get your feet in the water. I look forward to seeing the feedback once these reach the hands of MSF members.

Well said Sir!!

Shock Dyno's are now on our website.

SpeedyTurd 06-26-2016 02:08 PM

Anyone have these installed yet and Reviews on them?

[R]usty 06-27-2016 03:55 PM

Bump what he said ^

impossible 06-27-2016 06:19 PM

Wish you had a 12k+ rear spring rate option, my BC's had same 8k and 5k and the rear would sag slightly on each powershift which I dislike a ton on FWD. I'd be interested if you offered custom rates in the future. GLWS James

alright i got mine installed.. only problem i ran into on install was the rear shock bushings. the didnt fit i had to grind off about 1 mm on each 1 to get them to go in. as for ride quality is slightly stiffer than stock. i did drive all threw boston the worst roads on the planet while ubering in my ms3 and got 5* rating for the night so the backseat riders didnt notice a change. i would like to say i forgot to buy adjustable front end link so no fsb atm.

impossible 06-28-2016 06:11 PM

Take pics of the bushings you had to hack up so JBR can fix it and other people won't have to modify a $1200 product :)

subydoored 06-28-2016 06:17 PM

they are metal bushing and cant do this anytime soon. it could be just my car.

A 12k rear spring rate would be ridiculous. The ride would be unbearable.

impossible 06-28-2016 08:14 PM

Suggesting for the drag race guys who don't wanna run cheap ass bags in the rear springs to keep ass sag down.
