seriously. wtf is that mess.

 

I see a MBC under that hood. And a huge turbo. But no compressor for the airbag system I wonder if they are using the BOV to fill the airbags.

Every time I shift gears the car raises an inch. lol

 

air shocks are different than airbags. People have been working on this type of system for some time now. It's actually a pretty reasonable system for what a lot of people are looking for but I wouldn't trust it on the track myself. Just more to break.

Here's a company that's been doing something similar for a while just so you can get a grip on the tech... or at least what i'm assuming the tech is similar too since they don't elaborate.

It's probably a slightly more isolated system. And no one puts the compressor up there. That would be stupid for safety, visual, and performance. Need to push more weight backwards in our cars...


just playing devils advocate.

 

Its all good. I'm just joking around. I'll have to read up on the stuff. But for me I'm all about unsprung weight. Hell I don't even have bags on the back of my lifted truck. I have thought about it though. But more for having a compressor to air up my tires after airing down at Pismo.

 

I'm guessing none of you have heard of Fortune Auto coilovers?

 

Nope.. Just googled them.. Looks and reads cheap. Price is well cheap.

Oh so many thing wrong with just this one quote.

If its looks cheap, built cheap. priced cheap. It must be cheap....

 

Yep, those are def also from Bor Chuan, the top hats and hardware are the dead giveaway. You buy at least 30 sets from them and they'll anodize them any way you like, spoke to the guys way back at the 02 SEMA show, back then HKS, Greddy, Apexi all had Bor Chuan coils in their booth with just differnt colors lol

Just know that if you see a shop you've never heard selling the practically identical coils for the same price, they're from BC. So if you want that crap just get them from whoever you think has the prettiest color since thats the only difference.

 

But the cop said red makes me faster. So the color red coil overs must be faster.

 

Somewhat on point Dodgy, what happened was the company in Taiwan that makes these was under contract with Apexi and made a ton of them. Apexi's market went dead so the factory started offering them out to everyone and that is when all of these companies BC, Megan, Helix etc started offering them.

Similar thing happened with Tomei and having their rods made in China, they ordered **** load but then pulled out. The company that made them sent us rods when we were at the other shop and low and behold they still had Tomei written on them.

 

I wonder what a car would look like if China was to use all the parts they make for the world and just build a car with it all.

Granted it would not be that fast with all the lead. But I wonder with all the parts being made there just how it would come off.

 

Seeings how there is spring rates mentioned here.

What would be a good rate for a car running an EG33 used as a DD?
I'm thinking 6/5 or 6/4?
Thoughts?
Slightly stiffer than stock but not spine breaking is my goal.

 

For sure. I don't see a future in track use. It's more of a luxury car thing. It's like... he we can make your car go up and down and not handle like a hoopty.

For track use you'd just adjust your coil overs.

 

Ya I remember when you first got those and installed them on the Poope-S shop EVO and immediately had 2 blow out on the first track day lol

 

They have been doing it with trucks...

 

Go to youtube and type in "chinese crash test"

They can't even make toys that won't try to kill kids, yu think i'd get behind the wheel of one of those??
