what is the retail price of the coils you got?

EDIT: wait nevermind, that is for the R1 set (what jtk2 has...Mamba is running on the R3 right? which i believe is more expensive since its the track version)

i never checked it it is on their website...

but their exact words to me were:
"I attached you pictures of 4 Scion tC using our Suspension System, the 2 race cars are using our full race ENR 2-Way Suspension System, the 2 others are using our R1 Suspension System."

so in a nutshell...R1 = basic and R3 = ENR 2-way

fwiw, the two tC2s they sent me that had the R1 were greenbeans and the other was the Team Hybrid brown tC2 (someone what a thread on them earlier)

yea, not much help. hopefully Mamba will know more

R1 = no front camber adjustment not sure if they have pillow ball mounts. Didn't get much info on these because I wanted the R3's

The STD R3 suspension system has an enhanced forged front pillow-ball top mount to increase steering response. The R3 suspension system also includes an adjustable top mount camber plate for McPherson strut vehicles.

This suspension system is perfect to use on the road, and on the track.
For: Time Attack, Drags,_or Drifting. And could even be used on a_dedicated Race Car.

Compression and rebound: 12-steps of effective, and noticeable_damping adjustment

This is the info I got on the R3's but they are not the enr 2 way those cost about $3,000 and are custom coilovers for circuit racing not regular street driving. The Link is in my sig but the web page is down right now (its being updated)but the contact info is there e-mail them for more info

ahh good to know. i was actually looking to get more info on the R1 and didnt really pay attention to the difference between the ENR and the R3...assuming they were one and the same. then before i dug deeper i started lookin into a different suspension kit....

The only difference in the R1 & R3 is the pillow mounts on the front struts. The struts and springs are exactly the same in every other way. I called them about upgrading my R1 to R3 specs, ~$200 bucks for the pillow mounts. I'll probably do that soon. If you have any questions, I'm bored at work lol

So since Eibach is taking for ever to release their sway bars for the TC2 I'm going with the TRD Sway Bar Set, Front & Rear p/n PTR07-21100. Should be here on Tuesday...... Can't wait!

Edit: after I install the sway bars and get and alignment its time for the TRD BBK!

I'm sure they can be there is a lot of thread on these coilovers so Id say it's possible. Might want to e-mail them on that.
