Yes, a set would be 2 fronts and 2 backs, a complete set of coilovers for the car. We can even install them at the mod meet ;)

You know, I had a good friend teach me how to install coilovers.  :D  Too bad I don't need a set of these (or had the $$ to buy them).  ;)
I'd rather be driving! :D

Dr. Love (Dave) you got one order, these are the ones Rhys Millen loved and helped develop, then put on his personal Solstice, he ran the KW's on the race car. I want a set! I will call with info when I get a chance, I might be able to make the Mod meet Friday only, but either way they will get installed at Joe's. I'll be in touch.

Order placed scheduled for install on Friday of Mod. Meet along with Pro Beam, I will be to cool for school on the drive home. These are the exact coilovers I have wanted from day one, and to get the pro's from DDM to install and set them up with just a KISS of cherry flavor , no way I could resist. No I absolutly can not afford to do this and will be living on hot dogs and ramen for sometime to come, but it won't be the first time. Any one want to buy a slightly used kidney one owner, non drinker or smoker, only used on weekends.

If you don't smoke or drink, what did you use the kidney for on weekends?

DAMMIT, why do these DDM deals happen AFTER I pull the trigger?

Second time in two months!  One of these days DDM's and my stars will align. 

I REALLY like these too, but I have a full set from "another" on the way. . .

The damn Harley is exactly why I shouldn't be doing this, cost me a fortune but it is running GREAT, and I am hoping will only need oil and gas this summer.

I have really wanted these HKS coilovers ever since Rhys Millen started testing the prototypes. I had a chance to sit down and ask him about them in Atlanta last year, now you have to imagine this in a New Zealand accent and sitting in the pits on the steps of the Red Bull race trailer, "HKS is one of our sponsors and we run there turbo among other things, we run the KW's on the race car but this HKS set up is just outstanding for the street, I can highly reccomend them" that was good enough for me. I spoke with Dave about the HKS yesterday and about the slightly cheaper BC, the BC are a Chinese made coilover, they do infact have 30 different settings but are a system that was modified from another platform to fit the Solstice, not designed from the ground up, and certainly not tested by one of the best Solstice drivers on the planet. Rhys knows abit about suspension I watched him fabricate a new suspension system for the GTO in E-Town last year out of a bucket of spare parts because they could not get the car to hook up on the very difficult track, Dai Yoshihara took 4th that day right behind Rhys, must have gotten something right.

I just got my BC coilovers today.  They actually look to be pretty nicely made. 

But to say they are Chinese is an understatement. 

The only thing on the freakin' warranty card in English is a stickon label that says +06 Solstice.

Here are a few choice gems from the "installment instructions"

  • This instruction is belong to whom uses the product latest
  • This document is prohibited from copy of some or all according to the law
  • There may no be any announcement when this product is evolved or renewed
  • BC will not be responsible if the problems result from the negiligent installment instruction
  • Do not install the non-model product of this car on the vehicle.  If you do that, that will possibly damage the product and the vehicle components
  • This product must carry on the installment work by the professional personnel (professional license)
  • BC does't have responsibility for law affairs which violate automobile law and stipulation
  • IF you don't check and tighten after installing this product will lead to noise or danger in driving

Shoulda' waited .  .. Who knew?

I was mistyping I meant the BC, the one's that several people are selling for $999. They may actually be OK, but I just wonder what kind of car they were original designed for, and what they would do on a shock dyno. Want an education call Dr. Love (Dave from DDM) and talk with him a few minutes it will make your brain hurt.
