I asked myself, "Self, why dosen't anyone build an affordable coil over setup, utilizing excellent Rebuildable dampers, and tune them to each application.
If you are intrested, Call 1st Place Engineering, 813-333-1100 and set up an apointment for me to look into your suspension, check shock position, length and motion ratios.. I'll be able to put together a quote on sight to do what you want. and can order all parts with only a small deposit.
By utilizing AFCO's HUGE part number database and American factories we are able to Spec out the perfect spring and shock combination for your application.. Threaded body shocks are used whenever possible. EG. BMW e30 or Focus need seperate spring and shock designs.
Afco offers Single, Double, and Non Adjustable versions of all their dampers so your budget is the only factor that determines how aggressive you would like to go. In addition to External gas chambers and even polished dampers for those looking for a little bling.
kit prices will start at $900 for a custom engineered setup, however can go up from there significantly if you need double adjustable and remote revisours, but apples to apples will is still going to be more afordable then other options.
I've been asked, "why reinvent the wheel" well because the wheel is broken, Making racing components surrivive on the street is possable but trying to race with street parts is an excersize in futulity. I have about a dozen coilovers sitting right now waiting to be serviced, wouldn't it be great if the end user could do it themselves?
these dampers work as hard on their soft setting as many "sport" dampers do in full stiff.
All applications are constructed on a per-order basis, there is no off the shelf kit, there is however some popular applications which have been proven track killers
Like this Miata kit.

We can spec out a track only package, however due to the shock design almost any application can be daily driven. since we are not using a universal "cartridge" we can maintain enough shock travel to keep comfort levels high.
Single adjustable example

The bad news. if you have A strut based car we will have to spec out a custom order strut from a 3rd party to match the performance of these shocks, and that may require C-sectioning your factory parts.
