Cobalt SS Network - The OFFICIAL Coilover Thread

Ok, the other coilover thread needed a serious update. So I have compiled a list of all (or most) of the current available coilover systems along with info from the manufacturer on each one.

Everyone please feel free to post pictures and/or reviews on your coils because most people are going to want to 1) know how far they drop and 2) what your opinions are after owning them. Thanks guys

Pedders SportsRyder XA ~$1500
http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/u...3/Pedders2.jpg

Pedders SportsRyder brand has been synonymous with high performance dampers for decades. Pedders SportsRyder shock absorbers and struts combine the most advanced technology with Pedders? renowned expertise in the fine tuning of damping rates for superior handling while maintianing close to OEM ride quality. At the forefront of sports suspension is Pedders eXtreme XA, height adjustable coilover built to Pedders stringent quality standards. Pedders eXtreme XA features sports calibrated tunable damping, motorsport coil springs individually tuned to suit each application and a host of other high performance features including engineered OEM compatible bracket. The eXtreme XA is the pinnacle of performance suspension technology. Height adjustment is achieved by turning the entire coilover into the lower clevis. The 2mm preload on the coil remains the same regardless of height. The range of travel remains the same regardless of the installed height. As the spring perch is not the source of height adjustment and the spring preload remains the same, ride quality is identical at minimum drop and maximum drop. The Pedders Sports Ryder eXtreme XA adjustable coilover range features 30 Position Adjustable Bound and Rebound Damping with a positive CLICK. These are positive Click-to-Tune positions. There is no guess work or doubt as to the setting. You can feel each click as you adjust the damping.

Ksport Kontrol Pro ~$1000
http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/u...ortkontrol.jpg

Spring Rates: 6k Front, 4k Rear

Ksport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 36 levels of dampening adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The dampening adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Camber adjustability is included on pillow ball top mounts that allow it for the ability to adjust camber from the actual coilover, instead of a separate camber kit. Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability. The Ksport system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer dampening adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavatation are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride. The Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilover kit has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance.
