GI: YCW Reference Series Coilovers

[Toiyabe]

If you do a BF AWD set, do you have any idea what travel numbers you'd be shooting for?

[MFactory]

Travel numbers?

Samples have been received, and will start taking measurements asap

[MFactory]

As we have sufficient numbers on the list, it would be good if we could start discussing what spring rates you guys want. Basically, would need to know:

1) application/usage
2) suspension modifications (i.e swaybars, as these hugely affect the balance)

Thanks!

My application is a wagon, and a daily driver. I sometimes haul stuff in the back plus it's slightly heavier anyway than the sedan or hatchbacks.

The only other mods are urethane suspension bushings and the sway bars are stock.

92 Escort GT.

Weekend warrior / SCCA (first timer)

Totally stock at the moment but planning on new suspension bushings, strut bars, tie bars.

I'm a newbie when it comes to suspension tuning. Previously just dropped cars on whatever was available but I want to get into SCCA and post some good lap times so I will be trying to tune everything I can.

95 Escort GT. High powered street car, occasional trips to the drag strip, and just getting my feet wet with autocross.

All suspension bushings have been replaced with poly. Strut braces front and rear, lower tie bars front and rear.

Upgraded front and rear swaybars. If i remember correctly the stock setup is 22mm front/21mm rear, and I believe I am running a 25mm front/22mm rear.

Current suspension is a ground control sleeve kit (300f/200r) on nothing-special Tokico struts. Handling is relatively neutral, however the ride is rough, most likely due to the dampers.

The car is also getting a Toyota GT4 AWD conversion If that will affect the spring rates any.

Sorry for a late response.

Mine is a 92 mazda 323 i pulled out the 1.6 currently trying to finish my kl swap. As far as other suspension comoponents i have touched anything beside coilover sleeved that suck ass. Its my first time doing coilovers so im not 100% sure what i need for a daily, 1/4er mile car. I plan on doin drag racing with it

Would you guys be happy with our regular springs, or would you prefer to use Swift/Hyperco for a small additional charge?

[therieldeal]

Roughly what would the additional charge be, and would there be any appreciable difference in performance?

In the initial post you touted the quality of your standard springs pretty highly:

62mm ID Cold-Wound Japanese SAE 9254V Chrome-Silicon-Vanadium Steel Linear Springs
- Custom-made for us in Japan from the highest quality Japanese-grade spring steel, using proprietary manufacturing processes
- Not all springs are manufactured the same. Lesser-quality, Taiwanese-manufactured springs offer inferior performance and durability
- Although more expensive, we believe the increase in performance more than offsets the marginal increase in manufacturing costs

[MFactory]

The Swift/Hyperco's would be around $300 extra.

Just wanted to make this option available to you, as some of our other customers (other fitments) have asked to upgrade to the more "established brand" springs, so we can just order up the batch of springs at the same time. The difference with these, besides the brand, is the weight; they are lighter springs.

With regards to our regular springs, these are made in Japan by Tohatsu Spring Company (a quick google search will tell you who they are), so they are a good quality spring, yes.

please feel free to ask?????

Hey guys,

just putting this up to see if you guys would be interested in our new line of mid-range coilovers? We have the fitment specifications already in our system for Protege BJ, BH, Mazda3 and Mazda6, but would need a minimum of 5 confirmed buyers (per fitment type) to put them into production.

.........we noticed that there is a gap in the market for a mid-range setup that:........


If you have any questions, please feel free to ask

Interest List
1) 93BlkOnGreenPro (BG)
2) V3N0M951 (BG)
3) therieldeal (BG)
4) Matthew Bonner (BG)
5) TSShredder (BG)
6) Manny944s2 (BG)
7) KaleoXtreme(BG)
8) DragonGTX (BG)

I would be interested in a set for a BG derived Chassis (Mazda EC or MX-3 V6).

Would that be possible within this Bulk Buy offering?

[therieldeal]

Anything that fits the BG should fit the EC just fine - James (300zxrb26dett) owns both and I'm sure he will agree.

As far as springs go I would be fine with the standard Tohatsu springs. I skimmed through their website and they say that their springs are lighter than average too, so for tearing around town and destroying tires at the occasional event I'm sure they will be sufficient
