Coilovers
Basic Package: V8R DSD
Our DSD suspension is a result of over three years of track and street testing to provide a complete Coilover system that would allow a tight yet cushioned ride but would be able to handle a weekend in the canyons or on track. Its full-length adjustment system keeps ride height and preload adjustments separate by having easily adjustable length shock bodies. This feature allows you to make quick setup changes with the included forged spanner and also allows corner weighting without affecting spring preload. Damping curves are easily adjusted through the top of the shock. We use 8/5 settings for the street and start at 15/12 for the track.
Our testing was done using BP and V8 conversion cars. Spanning over 40k miles and dozens of track days through the course of testing. For larger wheel and tire combos and more dedicated track uses we recommend 12K front and 7K rear spring rates. For touring street use and occasional track 8k front/5K rear.

Premium Package: Ohlins Road & Track MAS MI20
A step above our DSD. We’ve worked with Ohlins across many platforms of motorsports for the last 20+ years. From Formula Ford and IMSA prototypes to Motorcycles. Ohlins is widely recognized as one of the best damper manufacturers in the world. We are proud to offer Ohlins’ R&T DFV line of Coilovers, which provide excellent track performance and road comfort without compromise.
Ohlins’ DFV (Dual-Flow Valve) technology allows for dampers that are highly digressive, delivering world-class performance on the race track without compromising street comfort. Simply put, these dampers are designed to maximize performance on both the street and the track.
Thanks to mostly aluminum construction, these monotube Coilovers are also some of the lightest available on the market. They are rebuildable and revalvable within the United States and come with a 2-year warranty. If you’re looking for the ultimate off-the-shelf Coilover the road and track series is it.
We can custom valve these and apply any spring rates desired. Please contact us for pricing and options. Please see our Pro Series ILX/TTX system for the ultimate double adjustable track package.
