Talking vrt suspension ?

so i was at bw last weekend and heard that vrt has some new true coil over suspension. i didnt get to actually see it but watching the two cars equipped with it they looked pretty dominating in the turns.(we all know there stuiped fast in the straights) well i guess my two questions are how much does the coilover cost ? and how does it handle on the street

He means the company "Stance". http://www.stance-usa.com/

Whether or not VRT uses them... I don't know.

I'd love to see them test some Koni Ta's and Linear Nismo springs against some of those JIC and Stance setups.

I read a review a while back from a member here. I remember him being impressed, and praising the set up. I'm sure you can find it with a quick search.

That provides little info, if any at all. Most people are going to be 'happy' with their newly purchased suspension setups.
Any shock dynos, ect?

I have yet to see someone post a shock dyno on the Stance setup not that most people would be able to read it for what it is. Surprisingly enough I haven't seen a review by Gsedan35 yet. He's pretty much on point with my likings in suspension and has excellent knowledge of suspension design. i'd like to see what he says about them before I dropped cash on something...

Right on, I'll be looking for his responses.

It is True:

We do have a New True Coil Over - RT24


I nicknamed them RT Medicine...Cause they make the car feel much better. LOL...

10 Months of testing this product, 2 Time attacks with Four Podium finishes at Button Willow and Calspeedway with drivers like Billy Johnson, Tanner Faust, Aaron Bitterman, and Jeff Howard. So not just making a product and saying it is good, we received real feedback from real racers in real competition.

We didn't design this product to be a RACE ONLY part (Stiff, bouncy, and extremely bumpy) No Thanks...Been there done that..., we want a true Road/track product so that you can easily and comfortably drive to the track, put on some race rubber, adjust your dampening with the 24 way valve, and go eat up some Porsches and Vettes.

Believe me, we have tried and religiously used JIC, Stance, Tein, KW, Bilstein, Eiback/Tokico, and without a doubt, FOR THE MONEY - You will not find a better Road/Track Suspension. If you do, Buy it cause it will be bomb.

What we have noticed over three years of testing:

Either the suspension is

Too Stiff
Too Soft
Valving Not responsive enough
Too Low and not ride height adjustable
or Too Expensive (two and three way adjustable)


Here are some picts. We aren't yet shipping and we can put together a group buy soon.

Suggested Retail $1500 (Group buy $1200)

Features and Benefits

True Coil-Over Front and Rear
24 Way adjustable
Professional Time Attack Driver Proven in Competition and comfort proven by total daily drivers.
Ride Height adjustable with ease.
Light Wight aluminum
1200 front and 800 rear springrates...Nice...
Gas Fill and awesome valving - awesome...
(Extra Gas cartridge available) for more $$$ - Raceonly applications

This is good stiff, 6 Piston and 4 Piston brakes coming as well.

M

I hate that I don't trust the intentions of new users anymore.

They look real good! I like my stance but these have pillowball uppers.

Couple of questions:

Rebuilding available?

Are you working on a bushing replacement for the upper spindle mount in the rear?

Who is the OEM for these?
