    Re: New Option for 3rd gen Shock!!!!!

    I hope this turns out since I love to have a set of externally adjustable shocks. Otherwise i may just have to send my konis in like guaynabo89 did.

    Re: New Option for 3rd gen Shock!!!!!

    Well I would be willing to try out the whole kit (I will do all the installation and everything involved in tuning), but we would have to figure something out for the shipping (maybe split it down the middle or something, I dont know). I understand the hesitation to send them to someone you dont know, but I would be willing to work it to somehow. I just really want this to get going and I want to help in any way I can. Also will they be ride height adjustable or not?

    I might be interested as well. My cars stock suspension more or less.

    The shipping state side might be a problem back and forth.

    Edit: Ill be in Upstate New York first week in October

    I'll speak with 'em to see what's possible about shipping and maybe get more than one kit to try.

    Nothing is private, ask what you want and i'll answer with pleasure.

    Re: New Option for 3rd gen Shock!!!!!

    i can't try 'em myself simply because the car still not running. I won't put the stock B20A in. The engine won't be ready before late winter i guess. I still have to convert the brakes for SEi and need to do the interior. But for this last part, i am waiting for the second sponsor(sonXplus/Pioneer). They offered me something but i am waiting the official paper. So I won't put the interior back untill i know what will happend with the audio.

    Selex could use customers shock absorbers and transform them with the damping and drop they want, including coilovers
    Selex will repair all brand names companies coil over and standard shocks...replacing them by Selex technology.
    Selex manufactures one shock absorber for each driver.
    In another words if we do not have stock we could manufacture all types of shocks with customers old units.

    AZmike:

    2. 40% SUPERIOR DAMPING FROM OEM
    3. BI-TUBE SYSTEM
    4. DOUBLE ACTION SYSTEM
    5. OPENABLE & REBUILDABLE

    So does that mean I could just buy the rears or do I have to buy the whole kit. Would it make it cheaper if I sent him one of my old struts and had him redo that. I have springs, I just need stiffer struts for the rear.

    Re: New Option for 3rd gen Shock!!!!!

    yes u can buy the rear only. The point is that we want to have something for the front more than the rear. As for sending the old unit, i'll ask him. I am pretty sure you can get a discount but it won't be real big since old unit can be found in any junkyard for almost nothing.

    As for the price, this is for only one set. We will have a better discount if we buy more in one shot. as a group buy.

    Ok that all sounds great, I believe a group buy woudl be the best way to get this going. I am sure there are people out there looking to upgrade and the price is pretty reasonable.

    That is why this thread was made. So what point are you trying to get across? We are saying that the tokicos are cheap, because they are not very good for performance. That is why you pay 150 a strut for these.

    Re: New Option for 3rd gen Shock!!!!!

    we can talk around 135$us each! But thos shock wont EVER make your car bouncy! With those, you'll be able to drop your car 2.25" and keep the car stiff as hell! The shock is not like you want? you can make em adjusted for real cheap! Even almost nothing! And things are done in 24hours! What do you want better than this?

    And 135$us is the price without a group buy! Remember this! I talk with 'em and they are ready to start the groupbuy for a group of 10!
