Are there any coilover setups NOT on backorder?

[Moultese]

I've been searching for a while and seems like every time I come across a coilover kit for the speed3, they are all on back-order.

Ive been waiting 3 months on backorder for H&Rs..... I know what youre saying

 

[spdjnke]

Thats odd, can't be that many speed3 guys/gals getting them all at once..?

 

[not yellow]

i was lucky enough to order mine when they were actually in stock. but i have a friend who's trying to get coilovers for his MS3 and every time he decides on a particular brand he finds out that they are not available. makes me wonder if there are a just a ton of MS3 owners who are buying coilovers or are the companies just not producing many sets?

 

[Moultese]

Granted, I've only checked out H&R, Mazdaspeed, and some other brand that slips my mind right now, but all 3 were on backorder. I really want the H&Rs. How long does it take to manufacture the parts? Jeez.

 

[spdjnke]

maybe give H&R a call directly and find out that's probably your best bet to get a straight answer.

 

[Moultese]

Ah, good idea.

 

[shaneS]

Post what you find out here

Look like everything is backorder for the speed3

 

[shaneS]

So much for changing my H&R coils order to KWs then, huh?.. I need my car to be low

Haven't had a chance to call yet. Never took a lunch break Been busy at work lately.

I just got KWs from crossover and took about 2 weeks.

Man I have never went through this waiting period to get anything on any of my project cars before..I had a partial set of Koni yellows a few weeks ago, but I sent them back to TH Motorsports because instead of them going ahead and replacing the one Front that Fedex lost they sold the other set that they had after my whole ordeal, they wanted me to buy the one I needed and then wait for fedex to refund them before I got my money back.. kinda shady IMO, so I sent the remainder of the set back and am now waiting again, maybe I should have keep the Civic Si sedan after all..(crazy)

Are KW V1s stiffer than the H&Rs?

Are KW V1s stiffer than the H&Rs?

Yes. And they are primarily a linear spring compared to H&R which is somewhat progressive. They're not harsh IMO, but you'll feel them a lot more over moderate to large bumps.

Tein is available...I see them on eBay all the time

I might be parting w/ my BCs soon. If so, ill keep you in mind if you are interested. Could be going w/ something new(hush hush type stuff...lol (spin) )

 

[Moultese]

Definitely keep me in mind. I never though to check E-bay either. I'm always hesitant abotu purchasing stuff off E-bay. Lots of horror stories.
