SSSSSSAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEET

 

no those rates do not seem high at all.
but i expected the rear rates to be higher... mayb he got them mixed up.

the TEIN SS rates are 7F 10R

 

I feel the fronts on the Tiens are fairly decent as they are but a bit stiffer could be better or even a step softer, it depends on the use of the vehicle and your local roads, tracks, etc.

The rears are very stiff, way to much so, I was looking in the 7-8 range as a way to go.

I may be switching from Tein to the Race B&Gs very soon;)

What color will the springs be?

 

oo that would be nice. true 2 product comparsion

but i dont think that is apples to apples

the TEIN's are rebound adjustable while the B+G's are bound/rebound adjustable...

kinda different

 

Ok...was not sure of the rates on the tC. I was thinking in comparison to the Cavalier which was 375 front and 250 rear and that was stiff at times. Totally different geometry though so understood. So you think the 8k and 6k will ride smoothly and not be to stiff?

 

We are working with Mike at B&G to offer an intro/Group Buy on these as soon as it is appropriate to do so.

I gave up my moderator status so we can start selling our RAAMmat products as well as working with other manfa to bring all Scion owners some great deals on quality products

I for one am very excited to get a set of these coilovers on our car as we need every edge we can get to become competitive in our insanely fast autocross class.

these are awesome setups for a coilover system.

 

im stillin waiting on exact specs of these coilovers.

spring rate?
mono tube?
twin tube? etc

Patience, they are in process and will be coming soon;)

Hi everyone, just talk to Mike at B+G, nice guy. It looks like the coilovers will be available sometime next month (we hope). They are full adjustable and springs can be change for different applications. As far as the price goes he did not have an exact price but will have an introduction price for the people in the forum, looking forward to that!!

 

I totally back the products from B&G suspension.

Both Mike and Brian work their really hard to bring a great product to market.

the price is final

its 1300 off of b-gsuspension.com

and of course springs can be changed for different applications. its the same with all suspension companies that design coiloves. you can order custom spring rates.

but companies design coilovers for teh springs to match the strength of the shocks.

so i wanted to know the... "stock" spring of these coilovers haha

 

Thanks for the comments and ??s everyone.. Pat thank you.. I will be contacting you very soon.. The spring rates should be around 8kg front and 6 rear as stated earlier by me.. The price im hoping to be in the $1000-1100 range for this forum.. Lifetime warrenty, dual height adjustment, steel mounts and rebound/ compression adjustment.. Even im excited and i dont even own a Scion

The coilovers are Monotube gas charged.. 16 clicks 32 adjustments rebound/compression..

 

sweet!!!!!! How do these compare to the Progress CO's in terms of spring rates??

 

B&G is expecting the final test units in a couple of weeks then if all goes well, as it is expected to do so, the final versions will go right into production and the GB will begin!!!
The time frame is before the end of the year, let's keep our fingers crossed for some nice Christmas presents

8kg front
6kg rear...

would this cause a lot of understeer? i mean, with the rear suspension pointing the car in the direction it wants to go... a softer rear and stiffer front... wouldnt that cancel out what the car is trying to do?

i dont understand cars with stiffer front spring rates.... help?

 

Stiffer front spring rates for one, is attributed to the extra weight up front due to the engine. The light rear end with a stiff spring rate would not ride very well.

 

Exactly.. the stiffer spring makes up for the weight of the motor.. for the Neon Srt-4 for example the thing is soo light in the rear we are going with a 8kg front and 4kg rear..
