Hot bit Coil-Over for A32 &A33!

Does anyone know this company? They offer different versions of coil-over system for maximas A32 and A33.

It is in Canada though, I was surprised to find this.

Kinda looks like the JIC Magics...especially since JIC has available helper springs now.

I called and they told me $1800 for the Street Sports setup and I think it was 1580 for the street race one. I don't really understand these things but from what he told me, this is what I gathered. When the springs go bad, instead of throwing them away like you would do with your Eibachs/H&R's/Sprints/whatevers, you can send them in to get fixed. There's more details.. He is going to send it to me and I will post it up as soon as I get it.

Springs going bad??? Geeze..I hope not for that much of money. Springs are not a wear and tear item. Struts are.

Maybe he said stuts, like I said, I don't understand these things, that's why he's gonna send me the information. Whatever part it is that goes bad, instead of throwing away, they can be fixed.

HotBits HQ is actually in Sabah, Malaysia. I saw these when I was researching alternatives to Tien & JIC's.

Thanks for finding a N.A. source!

Hey guys, I contacted them to see if I can be a test dummy to try those on my maxima, I let you know what come up, on the other hand I think this company make custom suspension component for some of the IRL or INDY race team, their product are supposed to be of a very good quality and for the american customer this can be very cheap cuz they sell in monopoly money ( cdn money ).

Cheers

The Street Race kit is $2,269cdn.
The Street Sport kit is $1,792cdn

"The Street Race is the dual spring setup. I would probably recommend the Street Race for comfort.

Threading on Body
Front - 150mm of spring seat travel
Rear - 100mm of spring seat travel

There is a limit to adjustment. You must leave at least 20mm of shaft
exposed from the top of the damper to the bottom of the bump stop when the
car is under its own weight. Any less than that and you get no function
from the damper, you ride the bump stops instead and that will not be
comfortable."
