It's amazing to see how much work suspension actually has to do...

I must say, I'm very interested in the coil overs too.

A couple of questions, which I didn't see asked or answered (I might have missed it). Will they be ADR Compliant and Street legal? What is the actual available drop, 20mm? 30mm?

I have 2005 PFL RB Wagon. When do you they might be available for purchase?

They won't be ADR approved as they are height adjustable.

Update, the people who we used to do the initial drawings fucked up, so my car is going in tomorrow to have the shocks removed to get 3D scanned. Sorry about the delay guys :(

Better for all that these things happen now than after the product is released and people end up with problems. :)

Oh you don't need to worry about that. Any issues will be ironed out while they're on my car.

Took the day off work to get the measurements sorted out. Again, sorry for the delay guys.

(I've had to blur some photos for obvious reasons)

Manaz: rears will have 15mm more wheel travel over the Ohlin DFVs. That's the only good news I have at this stage.

It would be interesting to know how much more that is than the stock setup too. :)

I have no idea as I don't have factory shocks to measure up.

The Shockworks will have 15mm more "real world" wheel travel, not just droop like the evo hats give you.

Cool. I'm sure we'll get the answer vs stock at some stage (I may be able to give it myself given I have stock suspension in the car at this point). :)

Subscribed and am interested, but most likely not for the first run if it is still looking like August - I will start saving though.

No probs Alex. There probably won't be any "runs" as such. I'll be keeping them in stock as there's a fair amount of retail preorders and resellers interested. The range is expanding rapidly and Revzone will be keeping stock also.

Hi all,

Received confirmation from Neotech today regarding the drawings. All is good and my production set will be manufactured shortly. When I receive them I will organise a catchup with Victorian members who have shown interest to take them for a spin in my car
