Shockworks Coilovers & BBK

[owen]

Benny, I can chuck in the DFV linear codes and have a kit at your doorstep next week. It'll feel like the Ohlins you sold..just brand new for half the price

What sets Shockworks aside from other manufacturers is the digressive dampers, custom valve codes and how they behave differently at different speeds. We don't release an "entry level" shit damper, a "medium level" shit damper marketed differently, and a "high end" damper with external reservoirs and fancy shit, still with a linear damper. The only product we release is "awesome", guaranteed to perform. I thought I made this clear already.

It's a point that requires continuous reinforcement

My car has been dropped off at Shockworks! The coilovers will be bolted up tomorrow and testing will begin!

Great news! Send me a PM when I can get payment to you. I'm happy to be a Sydney "demo" car to show people up here how they go.

take a sweeping corner at 180+kmh, and hit a pothole at that speed.

Yep, do that testing in YOUR car. Thanks.

Owen how is the caster offset in the camber plates looking?

No caster offset at this stage. I want to keep the costs under $2000

Gonna have to talk to my CnC guy

Update:
Car feels great. My bum no longer leaves the seat over bumps. The weather has severely hindered our development process as we can't really take corners at speed, so we've only been able to do 3 revisions, mainly for comfort. More to come next week as the weather is forecasted to be sunny all week

Yeah, I hear it's been a bit cold and wet down that way, and that there was even snow today.


This is getting exciting...

Mmmmm...... Overdue for my coilover replacement.
Would this kit bolt up to a Pedders XA kit?

Really need to feel these as I am wanting a setup to suit daily driving as well as the occasional cruise.

Sorry Mark I'm unsure what you mean by bolting up to a Pedders XA kit, however they will bolt straight up to your car after you remove your XA kit. We can meet up next weekend so you can try them out.

In other news;
The fronts will need to get pulled out again to fit shorter rods as the car sits too high at the moment (higher than stock) which is good for testing but not so good for looks when they're sold off to you guys.
Also went for a dummy alignment this morning, outcome being the bottom bolt holes need to be relocated slightly as max camber is at 1.x degrees. All small and easy issues fortunately!

If anybody spots me cruising around in 4wd spec this weekend, please don't laugh as it's for R&D
