Hells yeah!

[Scoobs]

I know what I'm getting next summer

[kritz]

I love minez! If you are local to me you are welcome to try them out.

[Lex]

This may be confidential but who builds the shocks and where would we send them for rebuilds if need be?

[kritz]

@Lex

As we say here in NY fuggedaboutit, You can ask but you won't get an answer. That is confidential information. Maybe @Raider can find out through industrial espionage!

[exentix]

Didn't see anything about the rear spring rate? Also I think they said before about the shocks. The said they wouldn't tell where, but it wasn't done cheaply.

If I am not mistaken the rears are 4.5k.

[dantes5823]

Damn looks like i may be torn between these and the amr kit. Having driven kritz car i can say these ride amazing.

[m249saw]

Well shit, I guess the GTX3076 is gonna be delayed another month.

[kritz]

^^^lol^^^

Well at least you will be able to use the power better with a rock solid suspension bro!

[m249saw]

Ill probably be bumped up another 2 tax brackets again this year, might as well spend my money before the IRS rapes me dry and kicks my dog on the way out the door.

[jonspeed3]

Holy pricey man. But meh, got this deployment money saved up, not to bad to splurge a bit.

Idk, either these or some ricelands/ other cheaper product.

Meh money talks.

[bertrand_CX_7]

Yeah, not sure about the complains regarding the $$$$. For this price you are getting the camber kits with the coilos, both together The camber plate alone is $359.00.

So may be a sugession, you guys could reach out to Corksport and request the Coilos without the camber plates. You'll be paying like $1240, of course if they want to sell them separetly.

As you can see, $1240 is a pretty good price for Coilo set out there.

Nice job guys.....

I don't understand the pricing at all. Even if you go super low you won't need front camber adjustment(I'm very low and only have maybe -.5 to -1 degree in the front) so the front camber plates seem worthless unless you have a dedicated camber number in mind for a track setup. So taking those off for $360 you're left at $1240. For 1240 you can get any other coil on the market except for some of the very high end KWs and the like. However coils like the h&rs, teins, Ksports, and others in that $800-$1000 price range will all perform arguably as well as these, and will probably have more height adjustability as well(2.5" drop at most, seriously? Taking my interest in stance and fitment out of the equation a 2.5" drop still isn't that much for eliminating body roll. Then 15 way adjustability...most other coils are 32 way adjustable...so seems like you're getting half the coil. Not to shit all over corksport because I like their products but these coils seem like they are overpriced for the functions they perform. I hope I don't get flamed for this post and that it can actually start some constructive debate on the topic.

You don't know shit about suspension it seems. I don't even want to start to educate you cause you seem dumb as rocks. Go back to bouncing around with your Racelands.

If you need to drop much more than that, you're already on the damn bump stops. That's why the body isn't rolling, and you may as well replace the struts with solid steel bars because your suspension isn't moving anymore.

Then 15 way adjustability...most other coils are 32 way adjustable...so seems like you're getting half the coil.

The 32 clicks on most of the other dampers you're talking about probably only make any difference until you move the adjuster at least 5 clicks, if at all. Less overall range of adjustment doesn't mean less functionality. It's less resolution between adjustments within the functional range of damper, and the larger resolution means you can feel what each individual click does.

But hey, you're all about stance anyway, so all of this talk of function doesn't really matter to you. Go lay some frame.

I never saw my car at stock ride height(bought it with eibach springs on it) so I dont know how much a 2.5" drop on this car is. I know on my cobra you needed 3-3.5" if not more to have very little to no wheel gap and a trackable suspension.
Did not know that about the dampers...interesting, did not know these coils functioned that way
thanks I need to go lower before I can lay any though

[Stangcobra]

Rather than just calling me stupid care to disprove my statements? Or are you just showing off for your Internet boyfriends

Progressive.
And in the blurb, corksport states accuracy to 10/100kg. That can be reduced to 1/10kg

Also, it's says "maximize unsrpung weight". I surely hope they mean minimize.

Going to low will raise your roll centre anyway and the car handle worse.

Sometimes when I see these product release posts I wish they had sent it to me for proofreading first.

Maybe I will next time. Thanks!

[kritz]

Hey these might not be for everyone, that being said if you are doing auto cross or track days having the ability to dial in your camber for tracking it rather than 'Stance' then these are a good fit being an inverted design to reduce unsprung weight is again good for tracking. I understand some peeps like the stretch and poke slammed look form over function thing then these might not be what you are looking for. As far as body roll the spring rate has more to do with that then how much you can drop, yes lowering it will drop your CG and help with the roll. Nuff said.

[trf5000]

For anyone who has ever been in @kritz car with these things, its a night and day difference over stock handling. The car rides almost stock yet rides like its on rails.

[kritz]

I will hit up Gwynne and have her adjust the faux pas.

[maisonvi]

When I see “stanced” cars or whatever the hell they call it, I die a little inside. It’s just so useless. I duno, maybe it’s the engineer in me that hates it, but I don’t understand how you can have function so destroyed on a car for what (in my opinion) looks terrible too.

Anyway, subbed cause I’m not far off from looking for coils.

[Tokay444]

People shouldn't look at body roll as necissarlily a bad thing.
And ever seen a lotus exige properly tossed around a track?

About time you posted a comment fag, I have been lurking watching you lurking.

[CorkSport]

Our CorkSport Mazda 2 B-Spec car has some body roll (enough to lift the rear wheel off the ground) and the handling is incredible.

[Tokay444]

Biding my time jew fro (minus fro).

[kritz]

That's 539 to you my Cannuka.

[Tokay444]

Got it!

[adrager622]

I've been waiting for these to come out! Looks like I know what I'm purchasing in the spring for my suspension setup.

[slowspd]

Waits patiently for release for the MS6. I feel I'm going to be waiting a very very long time.
Wish they kept making this car.

[ebnash]

Springs and Dampening devices are not designed to control body roll. That is what sway bars and chassis bracing is for.

Coil overs are not designed to enhance look/stance. If that is all you care about, just chop your springs and ruin all the engineering that was put into the design of our cars...

[Tokay444]

Chassis bracing is for tortional rigidity. Not for body roll.

And the stock suspension is really abysmal.
I know they revised the dampers on the pu, but it's still the weakest link on the car.
