I am working with a local company that is working on suspension items for the Scion Tc and need to know what the "drivers" of this car are needing as far as suspension and handling. Please post realistic ideas or wants.

 

inexpensive yet functional swaybars, strut bars, spings, struts, and coilovers. We need some quality stuff that is value priced. Cut out the bling bling and toss me something that will performs.
Basicly, something similar to the approach that Elemental designs took. Their products are powerful, reliable, and offer straight forward value. They also have an amazing customer service, warrenty, and replacement/refund policy. They cater to the customer first, the product second, and their pockets third

 

Ok anything you want to see improved besides Value on these new pieces?

 

Just bring something that will compete with the other manufactures and let us decide for ourselves. Smoses799 pretty much sum it up. The best parts with the best value wins. Doesn't necessarily have to be the cheapest, but it has to be good. If it's an unknown company start out small by making strut and sway bars, and then work your way up.

 

Just a little info the company is working in conjunction with the makers of springs for NASCAR all feedback i give them will be gave to make the products better and cheaper. We are working on some amazing things. Just wait as the progress comes along and as they allow me i will show pics and vids. Keep tuned.

 

Any product that will actually improve the tC's handling. Value for me is not the main concern, I want quality products that work.

 

Also we need to know if you guys can feel any week points in the car that havent yet been addresed by whats out there. Like rear strut bar, frame brace...etc? anything like that needed?

 

1) An entire unibody stiffening kit would be nice, not just the strut tower bars.
2) Full suspension kits, including sways and struts. Milder, street kits up to more aggressive ones. I would like to see the components designed around each other, not just mixes and matches of the same parts.
3) Performance suspension parts that are not just slam it to the ground parts.
4) Magnetic-rheological shocks and controller.... ok this would be entirely too expensive... but I had to mention it

Just a few ideas.

 

1-3 will be discused tomorrow and keep ideas coming. The suspension should be done in about 4 weeks. I am very excited to see how these sways will do compared to the Hotchkis. I ll let you all know the good and bad.

 

BUMP. Update I have just got back my TC for the weekend. We have made some amazing progress on some parts. Pics will be up soon have to wait till there are 1st production (not un finished pieces).

 

I've got tein ss-p and hotchkis sways, my moonroof pops when i flex my car. can you do something about that? i heard a front strut bar would help. Motor mounts. End links, the stock ones look like they will snap with the hotchkis sways on.

 

Yes almost everything you have addressed in above post has been addressed. My rear hatch rattle is gone and the car dosent even feel the same

 

Motor mounts! Of course, how could I forget. Nothing is available at the moment so BOXMAN, if this company beats Energy Suspension to it they'll have a big heads up.

 

We are working on a solution to the movement out of the Tc motor. But you will be very surprised on what we have came up with.

 

Harness bar... a functional harness bar aka brace....

 

Working on that one already Keith. but thanks BUMP

Working on front of the car this week will have photos of some parts on SEP 17th
