Whiteline G4 Coilovers: $1425 Shipped

That's right, here's your chance to get a set of Whiteline Group 4 Coilovers that we normally sell for $2250 SHIPPED (MSRP: $2649) for a deeply discounted price of $1425 SHIPPED. ***SOLD!!!***

But here's the catch, we only have (1) set a this price. There are some slight cosmetic damages shown on the attached pictures. The coilovers are brand new, never been installed. The damages are purely cosmetic and does not affect the performance of the coilovers.

We have installed several sets on STIs and all the owners agree, it has been the best coilover set in terms of street driving and performance.

Feel free to PM, e-mail me at sales@mpjperformance.com or hit me up on AIM (handle = MPJPerf Soren) or call the shop: (510) 780-0725 if you have any questions.

chakming888- the spring rates are 280 front/ 240 rear if I remember correctly. Also, these coilovers have utilizes a helper spring, thus the spring rate is is not affected when lowering or raising the car.

k....well....isn't the spring rate a little low for a performance oriented coilover?? and it is pretty expensive compare to the other ones out there. Is it as good as some of the other coilovers out there?? cuz I am still skeptical about the performance aspect of the coilover because of its spring rate. but then again, I dont know much about it. So if you can explain it to me, that would be very helpful.

Thanks for the inquires guys...but the Whiteline G4s have been SOLD!!!

chakming888- stiffer springs are not always the best when it comes to suspension. Suspension is all about balance and Whiteline seems to have gotten it right with these coilovers. Also, the most important aspect of these coilovers are that they are for people that use their car everyday, but still wants to be able to stiffen them up during the weekends to do some motorsports events.

If you're looking for track only coilovers, the G4s are not for you. I would suggest the Cusco Zero2Rs, Zeal Function V6 or Ohlins w/ the Dual reservoir system. But if you're like most Subie owners that use their car as daily drivers and weekend warriors, the Whiteline G4s are something you should consider.

As for the price, I do agree that they seem to be a bit high. But, people pay for them so that just may mean they could be descent coilovers afterall.

Soren, thank you for the fast response.

I do want to drive my car daily. Right now, I am running on Tanabe GF210 with stock struts. I think it can get quite bumpy sometime. Dont know if it is because I am using the stock strut.
I think the GF210 spring has similar or even slightly higher spring rate than the G4.

But what else would u recommend me if I want performance, like a very good weekend warrior, but still daily drivable.
I was thinking abou tthe Tein Flex, and then just leaving it at the softest settings for daily driving. what do you think?

chakming888- for the money, the Tein Type Flex Coilovers are fairly descent coilovers, especially when matched w/ an EDFC. The ride on the Tein Flex is pretty firm, especially now that they use 10kg springs front/ 8kg springs in the rear. You're more than welcome to come by the shop and I can give you a ride in my car so you can get the sense of how coilovers feel in a car.

Krinkov- Sorry man...I didn't think these units would sell that fast, but I guess $800 off what we normally sell them for was too good to pass up. I'll be organizing a group buy for these, target price is $1899, if we get enough people.
