Results from STM Spec D2s

I installed the new suspension last week, and went to the track for some testing this weekend. Last time out the car had Tein Flex coil overs and I had a best 60 ft of 1.64. Yesterday with the new coil overs I had a 1.52 on a unprepped track. These coil overs are great and I would recommend them to anyone. I expect to get my 60 fts down into the 1.4's. Thank You STM.

Besides spring rates, what makes these different than the AWD spec ones?

Our use Swift springs which cost about 400.00 more. Ours also come to us to get assembled/setup before they are shipped. When you get our kit they are ready to bolt on, No adjustments needed. Ride height and dampening is set the way we use it on all of our cars. However, Some cars will vary and need minor adjustments to meet your liking.

With that said, the AWD spec coil overs do work really well too. We have cut some really good 60's using them.

What spring rate are you using? (8k/6k) I found that to be what most people use for drag racing. And the damping is soft all the way around. Right?

Guys it is worth paying the extra money for these. You have to think about how many test and tunes STM has been to perfecting this setup.

BR uses different springs than us.

Not sure why anyone would expect us to basically give out a blueprint to our products. We work hard to test and make sure things work. You buying our product from us will only insure that we can stay in business and continue to bring out more new parts for this platform.


Thanks

At that point I would suggest using the AWD kit. We can also get you those if you would like.
