The time has finally come to offer the coilovers for sale.

What you are getting:

TiC SST Coilovers
Single adjustable Street + occasional Track
When we're not happy with something we're the type of guys who fix that. We're not content to sit around and wonder or bench race or dream. Instead we get to work.

Coilovers were no exception. We saw a gap in the market. That gap was created by either technical lacking of current coilovers on the market or by exorbitant prices of what we felt was good.

So we started working the problem, and the first one we started work was for the guys who daily drive their Impreza, but occasionally like to tear it up at the track.

First up was dampers - we were aware of AST for a long long time, and liked what they had to offer. So we partnered with AST-USA to work out the dampers. After trial and error, much number crunching, testing, reworking, retesting, more number crunching, and even testing by independent 3rd party we came up with something that made us happy.

Next was springs - we weren't happy with the amount of travel the common choices allowed. So we went with Swift springs. These are by far some of the finest coilover springs made anywhere. From the wire size, the stroke available, the linearity (20-80% vs 30-70% common to most other brands), the fewer amount of coils and the weight these were the clear choice when it came to choosing a spring.

Then we worked the little stuff like the perches, the heights, the bumpstops, the dust boots, the helper springs and all the little things.

All of this took months of work, and many thousands of dollars. In the end we put together a coilover solution that we feel is one of the finest available for your Impreza, and we're able to offer it for what we feel is a pretty good price. We've been very happy with the setup that we've worked out, and we think you will be too.

What you get:

Custom valved to TiC specification AST rebound adjustable height adjustable dampers
Loads of damper travel
Swift main springs
Swift helper springs
Custom made TiC front perches to allow for more travel
AST competition bumpstops
Rubber accordion style dust boots

The few more details:

These are NOT for slamming your car!!! If that's all you're interested in then go elsewhere. These were designed and massaged with performance being the foremost thought in our minds. Since Imprezas actually handle worse when slammed then we didn't even consider tucking the tires.
Dampers - 12 "clicks" of adjustment
Total front damper stroke - 164mm (6.46")
Total rear damper stroke - 152mm (6")
Front spring - 60mm ID, 203mm (7.99") long, 7K (392lbs) Swift coilover main spring
Rear spring - 60mm ID, 203mm (7.99"") long, 8K (448lbs) Swift coilover main spring
Helper springs - 60mm ID, 1.5K (84lbs), 19mm (.75") collapsed length Swift helper springs with included thrust sheets (front only)

I would be all over these if I had a GR chassis.

I have followed (w/ great interest) the making of these.

I currently have KWs on my car, and they perform very well. They also have lasted 3 harsh Canadian winters, and look and adjust and perform fine.

How will these coil-overs compare as far as corrosion and long-term wear in a harsh climate?

From what I understand they should have a little more travel then the KWs, so that is a very good thing.

based upon the testers, and the the older one they should be just fine for the winters.

what are the front camber plates options for these coilovers, as well as rear mounts? (and pricing), can these be included in the GB pricing?

also, what ride height do they come pre-set?

and how low would you suggest is the lowest they should be set?

Anything that will fit a stock strut will fit these coilovers. We recommend the Vorshlag or RCE camber plates. We are currently running the Vorshlag camber plates. At the time of final payment there will be options for camber plates at reduced rates.

As of right now, reusing the stock rear is all that is available. There are some that will be on the market soon though.

You can go as low as you want, but for best handling that is not recommended. Our car is lowered about .5" from stock height right now.

I can see wanting solid rear mounts for the GD chassis (adjustable camber), but is there really a big difference have solid rear mounts for the GR chassis?

[Turninconcepts.com]

Not sure, haven't tried them yet. They are definitely smaller than the GD mounts.

I thought 07+ didn't need AM fender braces cause the stock ones were good enough? I didn't even know you guys made any for the GRs.

These sound perfect for my situation. I'm sure with matched sway bars this set up could change the minds of other gr owners who already purchased coilovers. Hopefully I can afford a set before I auto x this year.

Ignore that - it was an artifact from another group buy thread that tony copied and pasted as a template for this post. I have fixed it.
