Yup, that's not a typo. Anyone who knows anything about racing suspensions has heard of Ohlins. It's the best you can get. And no, they didn't just come out with a kit for us 1g guys, not for these old ass cars. No, the kit is actually made for the Evo and since the Evo has a very similar suspension design to the 1g, you can basically take anything made for the Evo and modify it to fit the 1g.
A company most of us in the road racing arena knows of, Muellerized, has done the development on this kit. Many of you know Muellerized as the shop who supplied Greg Collier with his JIC coilovers for his NASA championship Laser. Mueller has been heavily involved in the Evo scene and has had some great success in that market with his suspensions solutions. He's continued to offer coilovers to the DSM community but fewer DSMers buy the good stuff these days, opting for cheap crap that doesn't perform well on the track.
So if you're a 1g guy who doesn't mind spending more than your car is worth on a set of coilovers, knowing that it takes money to get the best, you now have an option from Muellerized, and it's 10 times better than anything anyone has ever run on a 1g. We're talking super car type coilovers folks. I know some will have a tough time justifying the purchase, but think about it this way - buying a set of Ohlins for any car will be expensive, and in most cases more expensive than this. The 1g is a cheap platform to make really fast on the road course and we now have options available to us to make these cars compete with anything on the track, anything. I'm hoping to have my kit before next spring.
Contact Muellerized, and let them know you heard about it on DSMtuners:

Show them that we do have a good number of road racers here that value quality kits. The more we spend on good stuff, the better chances we have at getting more options made for us.
