Im doing talks with a coilover company (remaining nameless until I get confirmation) to make an affordable CRV coilover.

Yonaka's are way too pricey for what you get IMO.

So this company is bringing in a CRV for fitment and will get back to me.


Im assuming the price point will be around $700 and spring rate will be 12k fr/8k rr.


If they have enough interest then they will make a limited run of these.
Whoever might be interested in a set, post up comments, interest, specs, whatever.

 

As long as it affordable for me, I would get a set.
I need new suspension and have been reading some coilover builds, but I would rather get a set that is designed and purpose built for a crv by a company that will stand by its product.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

 

Ill update this thread when I hear more

 

post info as soon as you get it, i will pass it along to my crv FB group. i bet there would be a lot of interest on there!

 

I'd be in if I wasn't pinching penny's on the salary of 2 aircraft mechanics. Yes, I have 2 identical jobs with 2 identical companies and still barely pay my bills.

 

im down, as long as this doesn't take 4-6 months.

 

dampening? or no?

 

TBD

They do have some with dampening abilities, if they decide to use them for this project remains to be seen.

 

Sorry guys, Ive been in the process of moving and havent kept this thread up.

Heres 2 emails ive gotten so far..

Any input of what you guys want out of a coilver should be posted ITT so they can see what they need to do.







So its in the works. Post up people!

 

I'd say this forum is split pretty evenly between lifting and lowering. Probably won't be able to accommodate every here.

Personally, I'd get a full lifted coilover setup, if it was available. Price pending, of course. This way I'd be able to get rid of extra spacers and overextended shocks.

 

Why not just spend the few extra bucks for K-Sports or something along those lines? Not much more money and are already proven to work slammed and lifted. I think in this instance the company's reputation would need to be known before anyone gets too excited. Seeing as other options work for cheaper.

 

if the price is right as you mention- affordable, then i am down!
my preference- on the floor- LOWER IS BETTER!

just note- if the price is set relatively close to a reputable coilover system that already exists on the market, then i probably would not be interested in this particular setup and just get something i know is worth buying that is versatile to my liking.
otherwise, i would definitely consider this coilover system.
regardless, good luck with the plans and production...
keep us posted!

 

Ability to go low and higher than stock would be a decision maker for me.. down low when I'm around town, raise it up and swap to 31" to go up the mountain for camping and fishing

 

That is A LOT of travel. You will not be able to find an affordable CO setup like this.
4"+ of travel (if that's even possible) will most likely require an external oil reservoir - that puts you in $1k+ category for sure.

 

31's?! i would imagine that would kill power and gas mileage

 

any updates?

 

Last update I got was there was going to be 2 versions. Adjustable dampening and non adjustable.

 

any idea of how long until production, if so?

i am over my hodgepod setup...
really, considering upgrading to a full coilover system, lol.
