Jeep Coilover suspension kit Development...

What time? I might show up.

 

If you get me one of the first sets for a review i can get 40 sold in a month and a half

 

Yes what time!

 

non-SRT Jeep guy checking in with def. interest. I can tell you that all of the SRT suspension componets fit on the nonSRT WK.

 

Keep us updated guys...sounds exciting for sure

 

Hell yeah I would rock one of those carbon fiber intakes with the nitrous nozzle integrated in it.

 

I'm in

 

I have an appt this morning and wont be in until 9:00

 

Your E.D issues can wait:hug:

 

I has to go down...

 

Waiting on a call from Chad in FL...I live literally 1 min from your shop so if I dont hear from him I will just come by around 9:30ish...Ill call and make sure you have made it..

 

First

Ok I meet with Casey (roadracingSRT) today and his fine piece of American made product. We then went to K-Sport to check out the diggs and take a look at the suspension.

I found out a few things for this to happen.

ok here we go...

They can make a system for the Cherokee

The front of the system will be a standard coil-over suspension

The rear is a little bit of a quandary, There is not enough room to have the standard coil-over because it will hit the rear tire, plus the angle of the rear shock. The solution is to mount the spring in the stock location with a adjustment perch just like you would have on the coil-over but moved to the standard spring location. I would give a 3" adjustment. The shock would be replaced by the damper which is adjustable, but the way it mounts to the chassis the adjustment would be in accessible to adjust and you would have to loosen the dampener and swing it down, adjust it and then reinstall it.

There is a solution to this by upgrading to the circuit pro at an additional 1K+ in price so I said no thanks.

The whole system would give the end user a 0-3" adjustment (est) on ride height along with the Rebound/dampening. It would all bolt into the stock location with out any need to drill holes or modify anything.

It will be 45 days from K-sport I am going to add 15 because I know how life goes before we get any product, it has to be sent out to the factory to be made and then shipped.

Ok now Brass tacks


I have to purchase 10 kits to make this happen, I will sell each one of those kits for $1,400 each.

I have a minimum of 10 opening's for people that want this you will be required to put a deposit down of $400 and pay the remaining $1,000.00 before the product will be shipped out. I have spent all day crunching numbers to make this happen I hope I have not wasted my time.

If the deal does not happen for some reason you will be refunded all your money...

Thats the deal I can get you, you can ask Casey he was at the warehouse and the quality is top notch.

SECOND!!!

We did dry fit an aefis onto the SRT today and it looks like we might be able to make it work with a little changing on the SRT and R/T we also found out that the half covers we have fit also and when I get Casey's jeep here I will do some more fitment for some other parts.

Rad cover and some other goodies I have in mind...

OK let me know who is in and who is not

 

Very interesting...subscribing to this thread as I do some homework. THANKS GUYS

Interested in the "other goodies" as well

 

For those of us generally only concerned with under the hood, what would these coilovers do for me that the stock ones wouldn't? I enjoyed running a roadcourse last March, how would these coilovers help me. Lastly, any advantage in a straight line?

 

Launch, adjustable suspension with a click of the dial, ride height and so on. Just ask BJB how he likes his custom Penske Coilover setup on his jeep

You forget I have the first set of half covers on MY JEEP from you just need to correct drilling of the holes for the fuel rails.

 

half covers FTW...where is the pics????

 

Count me in!! Finally, woohoo!!

 

This thread will now be used for questions.

this thread will be used to keep track of the people who have COMMITTED to the GB http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16057

you and Road will be billed $400 when we have 10 people for the deposit.

 

This looks promising...I figured the rear would end up with an adjustable shock and the adjustable spring perch is a nice touch since a true coilover couldn't be used. Adjusting the rear shock would not be that difficult.

How many 'clicks' of adjustment would the rear shocks have? On this particular shock does it adjust both rebound/compression simultaneously or separately?

I am very interested in this GB........need to check what $$$ I have available now.

I have been interested in that carbon intake since I first saw it for the lx....I thought about sending my current intake out to a good friend to be made in CF.
