I used to have a shop set up in the GTA but the deal with the landlord went really sour and we lost a lot of money moving. For now we just focus on warehouse shipping in Canada and the United States to wholesale and retail customers.

*EDIT* just looked into it more and saw the spring rates on some other coilovers and saw that they are all stiffer in the front which makes sense with are front weight bias. Still I am curious as to why the stock rates are stiffer in the rear.

So far it looks like I'm the only one who has paid up. If you guys are having second thoughts you're crazy. This will be the last time you see this price. Also keep in mind spring rates can be changed by just changing the springs on the coilovers. Mark said he would post prices up for additional springs for those of you who would like more options or can't make up your mind.
#134
Special thanks for all that put their deposits down or called to order. An updated list will be posted by tomorrow night.

I just looked it up. The springs rates for my A33 Tein S.Tech springs is:
Front 3.6 kg/mm - 201 lb/in
Rear 4.8 kg/mm - 268 lb/in
I hate how they feel bouncy (almost like cut springs) on certain sections of the freeway. I always thought it was b/c they were too stiff, but these #'s seem much lower than stock?
Front 3.6 kg/mm - 201 lb/in
Rear 4.8 kg/mm - 268 lb/in

I'm leaning toward going with 9/6. That is the rate on the JIC's.

Thanks for everyone who called and ordered today. That is a total of 5 orders paid by credit card. I will post an updated list tomorrow night with a full list of the credit card and PayPal payments.
Feel free to call after hours or on the weekend to place the order as that is usually the best time I can be reached.

I've seen a lot of coil springs with the rear rates higher than the front, don't know why that is, doesn't quite make sense to me. But with coilovers for some reason they are all the opposite way.

I just called and put down my deposit.
98Mike, Mark doesn't need the spring rate to take your order. You can let him know that later. I'm not sure what rates I'll get. I'm going to call next week to let him know.

8/6 = slightly stiffer, should give you a good range of drops with a decent ride.
9/7 = pretty stiff, but you should be able slam it, basically.
10/8 = getting very stiff, probably not the best for street use.
any higher is going to be pretty much a race setup.
(this is based on what i've gotten from this thread and a few others... if i get anything wrong someone please correct me, i'm not an expert or anything.)

I'm going to start with 8/6 I think. If it's lighter than I'm expecting, I'll spring (no pun intended) for the 9/7's some time. I'll call tomorrow to order if your around on Sundays, otherwise Monday morning some time.

Hey Mark, Can you post an updated list of depostit/full payments? I'd be interested in seeing how well we're doing so the order can be placed.
(I called and made my deposit on Friday)
