Are you kidding me? Holy shit, I need to "re-think my inks".......

Phenomenal prices. I have never personally dealt with him, but I remember his name that is for sure. For the prices and the name attached, you are crazy not to buy this.

yeah if those are the prices you are quoting, I will take a set of fronts and rears yellow housings. I will need the housings though since I am running GR2s right now.

Here's a typical breakdown of what this stuff usually costs


Race setup:

$300/pair Housings w/ gland nuts (x2 for B13 guys)
$200/ea 8610-1436 x 2 (or 4 for B13 guys)
$120/ea B14 rear shocks (or B15)
$420 shipped GC Kit (typically run a 8" F spring and 7" rear spring)

Street Setup:

$200/pair Housings for Yellows/Maxima (B13x2 B14x1)
$150/ea (estimated) Yellows (B14x2 B13x4)
$120/ea (estimated) B14 rear shocks (B14x2)
$420 shipped GC Kit


Total w/o camber plates
Race B13 $1960 Race B14 $1360
Street B13 $1420 Street B14 $1160

Camber plates are pretty much a necessity IMO, so make sure you factor that into your cost structure.

how did you come up with 1420 for the streets? is that with GC springs?

I am part of (hopefully) the hypercoil group buy and these will be good with the Hypercos?

as far as camber plates you can run whatever you want to right?

Yes, that's with a GC kit.

It's so easy to DIY (assuming you have some mechanical aptitude) with a factory replacement housing for a factory replacement spring, that I don't know if it's worth the hassle for me to do them.

I thought you had to cut the fronts for more suspension travel at least that is what I read. I guess the rears are set at the proper lengths to begin with?

I am not wasting your time and will pay you to build a set for me.

You have outstanding prices and craftsmanship. Very impressive.

If you aren't interested in building the OEM style struts, I would be happy to build them for anyone who needs a set. I have my method perfected, like you said, it's easy.

Do you happen to know / have measured the motion ratios for the B13? I have an excel chart that can be tweaked to calculate damping at various velocities. I'll need to corner weight my own car to verify curb weight and f/r distribution to make it work.



I could probably come up with a pretty decent force curve for hyperco specific revalves.


Thank you so much, this is exactly what I have been searching for.

Note that the chart i posted is for a Miata! I'm gonna make a seperate thread to discuss shock forces and suspension frequencies.

Rich, I calculate $1820 for the Race b13 setup. Is there an extra fee that gets it to $1960? And this is a full shortened setup, correct? Nothing additional needed except for camber plates? Liking this... And MCarp22, thank you for your help. Being an engineer myself, I like to talk numbers and data
