Yeah the car did look very good in the booth.

We are located here in FL, but we worked with Wheel Conceptts on the ISF at the auto show. We provided the BCR suspension for the vehicle.

I did the initial spec on spring rates and testing for these and still running them after 8K miles or so. I am still waiting on the rubber mounts for comparison to the pillow ball mounts. Looks like I may need to become a vendor here after all so that my hard work (and investment) does not go unrewarded. The product is good and my drop rates are 1" front and 5/8" rear out of the box but of course this is adjustable. Its a pretty perfect ride height IMO. There are a few times I forget how low I am and I have hit the nose on a few entries, but it is very drivable. These improve the ride drastically over OEM as the valving and stiffer spring rate reduce/eliminate the jarring effects of the stock shock valving. Handling is great and the adjustment offers a good range of usable settings. Softer settings are noticeable and the one thing that may be tricky is that fact that the rear trunk would need to be cut for access to the adjustment *****. I am working on something for that as well.

My pics on my OZ 19's.

Soon to be site vendor.

I have been testing this application since January when I first took delivery of the proto parts.
Here are the product images

Thanks for the input Fig! I know BCR and CMS are grateful for the first testing you did.

Good to hear you are still enjoying them.

Question, where are these coils made?

They look pretty good on paper but just wondering if these are made in Japan, China, Taiwan?

that is actually the lower mount. The pillow ball or rubber mount is on the upper part of the shock. The Urethane lower is the same on either.

These are made in Taiwan, which is not even close to the same as China. My impression of the materials and process is top notch.

Car's stance looks really good on the coils

What front grill do you have on the car?

Most likely either 14k/12k or 12k/10k, depending on driving style and preference.
