WORKS Ride Spring and Rear Swaybar R&D

Our Engineers have been going over the EVO X Suspension in preperation for releasing upcoming WORKS Suspension Packages. One of the first will be the Ride springs and an adjustable rear sway bar. We hope to follow closely with the ever-popular WORKS/Ohlins coilovers.

As with the previous chassis, the MR Bilsteins utilize different springs. Unlike the previous springs, these are wound by Eibach. Aside from the color, there are some other differences in construction, rate, etc... Just like WORKS did with the CT9A, we will be offering an MR-specific set of springs that will better match the Bilstein dampers. No need to run a GSR spring just because they (almost) fit

Testing is under way with more to come. Stay tuned!

Pricing is yet to be determined, but should fall in line with our current CT9A level. The MR-specific WORKS Ride Springs will hopefully be here as the US dealers start to receive their allotments.

hey Jamie

so is it safe to assume that you guys own a X to do all of the R & D on it?

I have not seen any post like all of the other vendors.

Check out my KW setup from Robispec & Vivid Racing

I got my car lowered 2 inches. Realigned with race spec camber and toe.

The latest ETA I've heard was about 6 weeks out for the WORKS Ride springs. We'll keep everyone posted as more firm numbers/dates become available.
