RCE YELLOWS FOR GR CHASSIS? Gauging interest.....( GR SWAYS UPDATE too).

**RaceComp Engineering** · 11-09-09, 06:46 PM

We have been working on a lowering spring that offers a little more drop yet doesnt compromise performance. The warm reception of our Regular Guy/Functional lowering springs earlier this year tells us that function is high on the list of priorities, but in that time frame we have taken A LOT of calls about something with more of a drop. While I kept this under wraps for a while...I did reveal to a few dealers at Sema last week that we have Yellows in the works for the GR/GH chassis.

How far in the works? 90 days ago I started on this and with a few more tweeks we will have the rates and ride heights ready to release. As it stands we are looking at about 330-340ish on rate and a 12-15mm drop. Color is self explan and yes these would come with front and rear bump stops to maximize travel.

If anyone is interested, let us know !!

PS: we need a local person with a very new 08+ STI with the "new clean" look under the car so we can take pictures of the NEW RCE GR SWAY BARS for our instructions. ( yes we are that close).

im interested as long as it doesnt kill the stock struts and perform just as well as the functional

Count me in as interested!!

Also, living in Florida I have a very clean and stock undercarriage (4,800 miles). If you want to send the parts I can do the photo work and you can pick the installer

NICE....
this just made my decisions a lot harder...
I'm still waiting to see who will be first out of the gates for a nonadjustable, lowered coilover set (ie springs AND shocks)....you guys or tic...
hopefully in the 450# range

......one could guy springs as a stepping stone until they do coilovers.

While we have something up our sleeve,..it ISadjustable and affordable and you'll never see it coming !!

Expect a press release within a week or so.

Wow another set of springs?! I got the Regular's a month ago and haven't had the time to install them but theoretically when I do install the Regular's and use the bump stops to install and if I want to use the upcoming yellows could I use the bump stops that came with the regulars with the yellows?

Ooooh very interested once snowboarding season is over. I see that the proposed rates are a smidge higher than the Regular Guys - is that to counter the loss in travel due to lowering? Also, how strongly the WL Roll Center adjust kit be recommended to go along?
