We are ready to go on this and I will be posting a group buy today or tomorrow. I need 10- kits to get a good intro discount. Or we will just build them one at a time.

Mike,
Will these Ohlins (or for that matter any coilover like the BC's) give the IS F the handling characteristics of the 2011+ MY IS F's? If the changes to the suspension that Lexus did to the 2011 model shaved almost 9 seconds at VIR, then would these do the same for the 2008,09,10 MY's?
16/12 Swift springs and complete upper hats for the rear. Re-valved to our specs. Sorry for the delay. Just looking though my photos and it looks like I do not have any of the current setup but will post up anyway to get interest so we can get these going.
Mike

Its a combination of suspension links , LSD and coilovers. These are the things we did in 2009 and Lexus finally caught up. These shocks provide a nice middle ground between the undersprung KW v3 and the Full track Penske shocks.
BTW if you ever want a ride in our 2008 stop by.

^^ Makes sense, thanks for the offer I think I'll have to stop by your shop soon! What days are you there, and can I stop by anytime during your business hours?

these coils surpass all of our options (albeit Penskes are a superior track coilover, but cost a pretty penny).
let's get the ball rolling on that group buy
updated the GB thread but thought I should post here. Here is the finished product (our final configuration test set).

It looks like the top spring perch is integrated into the hat. Is this the case?
Yes, while not ideal form a free pivot shock angle vs spring angle we did not want to add any more cost to the front and the rear is already a vast improvement over the long upper hat that covers nearly half of the shock body. Ohlins uses a rubberized perch on their upper hat and we use thrust sheets with the rear Swift spring setup.
