Default DG Spec Coilovers-Lower Price!- Make me an offer!

I recently sold my car, and have these left. They have very low miles and are practically new. They are already assembled and will come with the tophats, so they will bolt right in ready to go! Also included are the camber bolts that were included with the kit.

Dont miss out on the opportunity to get the best handling coilovers for the tc!

$1000 Shipped to your door!

I do sir, they are 350 Front and 650 Rear. I was on the phone with Dan Gardner prior to buying these, and they said that the valving on these are far more aggressive than other Progress coilovers, and could handle 100lbs increase front and rear if you wanted. Also, the dampers are fully rebuildable.

The ride heights and corner balance was set up by myself and Dan Gardners crew chief. A lot of time was put into these. Obviously it would vary a bit between my car and yours, but it would be an excellent starting point, if not very close.

As your probably aware, these shocks are not adjustable, but having lived with them, I found it to be quite a relief. It removes one less variable to go wrong when your setting everything up the morning of a race.

I would love to see these coilovers used as they were designed to be as opposed to someone that just wants to drag them from show to show after slamming the crap out of them. Put them to good use! :-)

^x2 These are not for use to slam a vehicle, the setup is not designed for it. These are built with the purpose of track use like auto-x and road course. May they go to a buyer that will use them as they're intended.

Should be a good price on these. I have coilovers that work well, and plan my next set to be 100% custom, so I am not shelling out on this set. Plus, since I run nearly 3 degrees of camber in front at events, I need my camber plates that are part of my current set, not sure if the shaft size on these would work on them.

For those that dont know what "DG Spec" is, it is Dan Gardners spec parts through Progress/Dezod. So these are not for the Form >> Function people and are definitely intended to work well on street/track applications. So hopefully someone that actually likes competitive handling, and not the slam it and show it people, buy these and get good use out of them!

For those in question, those rates (similar to what the SS-P's run) are about as stiff as you want on a street driven tC. I would venture to say these are the most aggressive setup you would want on a daily driver. They will be MUCH stiffer than stock or something like TRD's. But for those that want the car to handle well for autox or hpde and still drive it daily, those rates are a perfect fit.

Not being adjustable is not a bad thing either. Adjustment adds more variables than most can ever get right. Plus, practically all Japanese/Chinese and a high percentage of other dampers have very non-linear adjustments. My SS-P adjusters are good for "way stiffer" or "way softer" but not very accurate in between. Even koni adjustments are non-linear. So dont let that drive you away.

Sorry I didn't reply back to you man. I totally forgot. I have Tein SS now, and thought maybe these had a higher spring rate so I wouldn't have to go through getting custom spring rates and sending mine in to be revalved and dampen for the rates. I'm looking for 600lb front and 900lb rear spring rates now and these are about the same as the Teins so I would have to get them revalved and dampened and custom springs as well.
