Coilovers available?

[1320']

Fwiw Cortex has been actively testing their coilover kits. They said on their Facebook page that the upgraded Ford Racing half shafts cause fitment issues and they are having to redesign the mounting plates a bit to accommodate them.
The Street Series use Koni Series 30 dampers with single adjustable, but custom designed valving. The next level up used JRI dampers with double adjustable valving.

Pretty much top of the line for a track day coilover

Yeah I know they make them. I just won't spend 3k on coilovers. Not looking to track the car just looking for a nice aggressive stance.

You don't need coilovers to get an aggressive stance. If appearance is what you are looking for, coilovers are a waste of money. Their ultimate primary benefits include corner weighting(useful mainly for track use) and increased inboard tire clearance up front thanks to smaller OD springs. If you aren't going to a racetrack or using super wide front tires, you get no benefits from using coilovers. They don't magically improve handling over a solid spring/strut setup.

I'm glad to see there are some people out there educated in this subject and have an understanding of the importance of a good suspension setup. I by no means race any of my cars but I have spent a decent amount of time doing spirited driving in the mountains back home as well as a few trips to tail of the dragon. I had the koni/ground control set up in my Honda and it was perfect for what I used the car for. Now that I am stationed in Florida I'm debating if its even worth it :/ flat straight roads everywhere

Anyone know if Eibach is planning on making coilovers?

If they made Multi-Pro R2's for the 08' WRX, I imagine, they will DEFINITELY be making them for the S550.
