xyz racing coilovers??? calling all suspension guru's

[rr06rs]

I was wondering if anyone had experience with these? They come with pillowball mounts/camber plates, 45mm pistons, and are fully customizable. By filling out the order form the will apparently tailor the spring rates and valving based on the specs of the car and type of racing. For $1200 they seem like a great deal! The only thing I see that could be improved is the spring hat sits directly on the top mount, not allowing the plate to pivot seperate from the spring, but that's an easy fix. Is like to hear some guru opinions.

The pivot is the bearing you can see mounted in the top-plate (which has camber slots). A steering pivot is a required, and very basic feature in a strut mount. (2gs don't need: because coil-over shock is not a strut as-is-in a 1g)

As for racing, competitive teams change wheel rates and damping curves depending on the track.

If you are driving on the street you might appreciate adjustable dampers. While adjustables don't offer the specific control over jnc/rebound - low/mid/high speed damping that high-dollar racing might need... turning a little knob/screw is pretty easy and works for what I'm doing.
