Gaining Interest: Agility Coilovers
Gaining Interest: Agility Coilovers
I am starting this thread to help Agility Corporation gauge our community for developing a set of quality coilovers. As many of this community are already aware of, we do not have a set of affordable quality coilovers. We have seen many issues with k-sports and d2's and now is the time we find ourselves a set of quality coilovers that we can depend on for a daily use and not have to worry about them. They are a fairly new company but have been very succesful at the current applications they do offer as of right now.
Down to business...
Agility has first developed a set of coilovers for the Saturn S-Series and has had a great amount of success. This is from one of the Saturn forums about why we should trust a new company
Here are some features of their coilover sets, taken from their site at http://www.agilityco.com:
-Forged 6061 aluminum upper mount.
-Pillowball upper mounts are standard where applicable.
-Adjustable camber plates are available for many applications, allowing for ease of camber tuning.
-Each shock absorber is outfitted with a rigid 42mm internal steel piston and resin piston ring through a high performance monotube damper.
-Each coilover unit is adjustable through 32 levels for maximum adjustability for track/street conditions.
-Separate lower bracket height adjustability prevents the need to adjust the spring perch, allowing for maximum suspension travel.
-Springs are cold bent using silicon chrome steel with a tensile strength of 2000N/mm.
-Custom spring rates/revalving are available upon request.
-High quality T6061 aluminium alloy used for all adjustment locks
-The forged aluminum shock body is specifically anodized to prevent inner corrosion and surface oxidation.
-1 year warranty against manufacturer defects and failure.
-After warranty period expires, we can rebuild your shocks, or revalve to desired new settings! Inquire for details.
For any questions, please email them at info@agilityco.com. Their contact information can also be found at www.agilityco.com. They aim to be as helpful as possible, so if you have ANY questions or concerns, please contact them!
So if you are interested, please say so in this thread along with the generation of your car. Lets make this possible to have a set of coilovers that don't need an adjusting every 2 days.

Why trust a new company like us?
1) For starters, we are ISO:9001 certified. Our production process and quality control are unparalleled. We strictly adhere to the ISO:9001 rules and regulations, ensuring that our customers are receiving a top-tier quality product.
2) No prebuy, groupbuy or deposits required! You will not have to take a leap of faith with us. We will not accept payment on anything unless we can ship it within a reasonable time frame. We will guarantee that upon payment, your item will be shipped, and you will receive a FedEx tracking number from us within 7 business days, or your money will be refunded should you choose, no questions asked.
3) Our suspension sets are dyno-matched using Roehrig dynamometers, the industry standard! We guarantee dyno-matching between matched pairs (F/F, R/R) to be within an 8% threshold! We will provide dyno data to support our claims. Compared to our industry, the lowest we have seen is from one leading company, who aims for a 10% threshold on their rebuilds! This ensures that quality damper control can easily be attained from our product. Predictability is a racer's best friend! The extreme tolerances which our products adhere to make it very easy to finetune the damper settings through the 32 clicks.

hmmm interesting. for the rears, how do loosen those collar? not familiar w/ the hole design and how that works.
i would like to know the offered spring rates and the price for 4rth geners.
and i wish ksports offered dyno data when purchased

1) change the pic
2) price (not that i'm in the market)? there are quality options avaialable, just not so much on the budget level.
3) more info on the locking system would be nice. it looks to me like clamp type collars which i would not be inclined to trust especially since it appears that the bottom bracket is not threaded. i.e. all the pressure on a ~.5" threaded section retained only by a clamp.

don't know if that would be a good thing or not......
Agility has contacted me in email, I will quote it directly
I am very excited about this, as most of us should be. These coilovers are an opportunity as many of you do not understand. This is a great company that has done everything with 110% to make everyone of their customers happy.
Now lets keep the support going.
Edit: I would like to keep this thread clean. Constructive critism is welcome as to what you would like to see with these coilovers, but please don't slander each other.
. We are monitoring the thread and will update you in future communications.
Some things that we'd like to pass on to you:
- The pricing for the setup has not been established yet; it really depends on what kind of setup the users prefer, i.e. spherical bearings (pillowball mounts), camber plates, etc. Depending on what is ultimately developed, pricing can vary from 875-1095 for introductory pricing.
- Also, we will provide a sample shock dyno for any new setup that we develop. We guarantee shock dyno matching between pairs to be within an 8% error threshold. We are not aware of other companies in this price range that have offered such a guarantee.
- We are also able to do custom rates/valving at an additional charge.

The tolerance on the shock dynos is awesome. If they live up to it, thats just another plus on this setup.
Also, in My opinion, it would be awesome if they could allow the buyer to choose whether or not they wanted things like camber plates(cost reflective of course). That way, it would allow buyers to get what they want for the price they want.
I know I would be getting camber plates.

You noob. If you got something to say, dont create a newbie to bash.
So what if I said maybe? I'm just voicing my opinion and explaining why. I want to test them out because I dont want some poor quality crap. So what if we have more varity but the quality is just like the same low level stuff but with just different color and name? Maybe I'm just the only one that cares about quality??? And FYI mr.noob, Progress was already discontinuing their maxima products when I was in the market for a set. And I regret being a cheap*** for getting D2 instead of Tein. The dampering system is so much better and less noise. That is why I said maybe, because if Agility can prove me otherwise, then I would definitly be interested.
P.S. - Make 7 up yours.

Progress coilovers were still around when you joined. They were around a few months ago, in fact. I'm the n00b because I've owned my car since 2003 (brand new) and have a substantially more significant mod list than you, right? I'm a n00b because I joined the org after you and have less posts than you right?
1. This is not the off-topic forum. Therefore, this forum is not for you two to have a personal battle in here, nor is it to ***** up someone else's thread.
2. 03SE4AT - take a week off since you seem to think your mod list has anything to do with this thread and you didn't just ignore IHAVEA2kMAXIMA like you should have.
3. IHAVEA2KMAXIMA - take 1 week off since you have posted multiple times here while contributing nothing, and flaming the OP. And take a 2nd week because you seem to feel the need to throw out childish insults.
If you want to argue, act like children, and postwhore we have a section for that, called off-topic. The advanced performance section is not for you two to argue, especially about who is a noob, or who has more mods.
You're both noobs, and your mod lists are tiny compared to alot of people here.
I'm done autocrossing/racing the maxima anyhow, most likely. Someone like Brian (BEJAY1) would be the best bet for a sponsored car, since he runs on the national autocross scene. That is assuming they're looking to sponsor someone.
This setup looks like a pretty nice deal, depending on features. Even though not in the market, I'll be interested in seeing what they offer.

Update: They have release their coilovers for the G20s, now if we show a much larger support then this then we could maybe see these alot sooner then whats expected.
If you are a 6th gen who is interested, Please state so
I'm sorry I overlooked you guys, I've been getting PMs about 6th gens.
I remind everyone the price will be between: 875-1095

Update: They are beginning to take this project a bit more seriously and here is the details of the last email I recieved.
So if there is anyone on here that can help with what they are looking for, PLEASE either PM me or post in here
We are currently finalizing things prior to releasing the P10/P11 G20 setups. After the launch, we will be looking at the Maxima suspension possibilities, and we can figure out if it would be a good application to pursue in the near future. At that time we would like to discuss the logistics and technical aspects of the suspension/coilover setup. How we approach each project is usually by preparing a formal internal dossier containing technical and financial aspects of the application in question.
That's a great reasonable price!
I also wanna use this post to say sorry to the OP, Agility, and the ORG for running my dirty little mouth in this thread. ((I've cleaned it up with some Orbit gum.
)) I guess I forgot to take my medicine... And I do wanna thank Irish for putting me into my place before I further embarrass myself. There's absolutely no excuse for this kind of behavior and certainly this will never ever happen again and I'll be sure to think twice x10 before opening my mouth again. And sorry again for being a stupid n00b!!!!
Best of luck to Agility and thank you Dave for your effort in bringing maxima a step further in the aftermarket~!!!!!

Congrat's Dave, hope everything goes well on your end.
wow kev, Thanks for doing that, You are awesome.
I am hoping all is going well with them, I need to email them soon, to see if we can push foward soon, they of course are working on making them for a different car right now but I'm sure we could get them to push it ahead sooner

If you look closely you can see that it is just lighting and blur in the picture but that they are indeed threaded, finely for alot of adjustment of course, I'm sure the threads are deep enough that there won't be any issues, that would be a giant safety issue and it appears to be a solid company with good business practive imho. Also, the clamp set-up pictured is FAR FAR superior to the Blow-sports, if you've ever had to dissasemble one of them to replace the shock than you would understand, after less than a year in the north-east they get locked up by grime and corrosion and become IMPOSSIBLE to remove without a pipe wrench and heating it every 1/8th of a turn, I'm sure this is why hexon asked what he asked.
