coilover kits

At the '08 SEMA show we were looking for a coilover company willing to offer a solution for the Lexus IS-F. On the final day we hooked up with the folks at BC Racing and found exactly what we were looking for in a performance coilover. Great build quality, affordable price and best of all flexibility in spring rates and valving to serve a number of different tastes. After all, everyone has a different opinion on what they want in a suspension and one size does not fit all. After carefully specifying spring rates that we felt would be a good start, we took delivery of the first part in Jan. 08 and installed them on our test IS-F. The results were dramatic and evident. The stiffer spring rates and enhanced damping had taken the rough low speed ride from the OEM shocks and turned it into small blips of road surface feedback. The high speed handling was more predicatable and entry and exit out of corners was more linear which allowed more precise modulation of the throttle. In short, the car was transformed.
The damping range was then tested for scale, after all what is adjustability if you can only use the bottom 5 settings. Overall we found a good range from 5-25 clicks on the system. 9 clicks out on the front shocks and 12 clicks out on the rear provided an excellent canyon/track setting while a more conservative 20 clicks FR and 25 clicks RR was a more suitable ride for a daily driver. Regardless of your personal settings these will get you where you want and allow drastic changes in the way your vehicle performs with a few clicks of the knob. We are proud to offer these products to the IS community and hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

BR series Coilovers

General specs:

Mono-Tube Shock (Rebuildable) design

30 way adjustable damping control (compression/ rebound) via knurled knob on top of shock.

Optional Pillowball or rubber upper mounts. Rubber mounts offer a lower noise ride while Pillowball offer precision handling.

Separate ride height adjustment means that you do not need to change spring preload to adjust vehicle ride height.

Springs rates are specified below but can be customer specified as well. Large steps in spring rate will also include the proper revalving. Allow 1-2weeks for revalving of custom orders.

Application Specifications (spring rates FR/RR)

98-2001 GS300 10K/8K

92-97 GS300 10K/8K

Technical Specs:

46mm Pistons onver 53mm shock housings providing a large range of damping force capabilites.

Special spring-steel valves which outperforms other stainless steels and offers prolonged valve life.

Patented concave lower locking ring to prevent unseating

Springs constructed of SAE9254 High Strength steel that is compression tested over 500,000 with less than 5% deformation.

Pistons are high polished steel to lengthen oil seal life which means no leaking and longer seal life.

High pressure inner rod guide seals ensure a perfect fitment resulting in consistent fade resistant damping and long seal life.

2-Step coating process utilizing nickel and chromium plating to prevent corrosion.

Newly developed lubricant oil in all shock cartridges minimizes aeration/foaming and cavitation.

An added bearing beneath each pillowball mount provides the smoothest action possible and prolongs the life of the pillowball itself.

KW SUSPENSION:

Uncompromised Performance Competition Coilovers

FIGS offers performance suspension coil over damper kits from KW suspension GMbh. These are the highest quality dampers with features geared towards racing performance:

Features

Bypass resevoirs: By adding a bypass resevoir, the fluid is free to flow through the damper valving without end effects of the fluid volume. In other words, the damping is predicatable and consistent no matter how hard you use them. Hot, cold, top, bottom they will always be at maximum performance.

Full INOX Stainless Steel bodies for corrosion resistance.

3-Way Independant damping adjustment:

High Frequency damping (damping power)

Compression-14 level adjustment

Rebound -Infinite adjustment

Hardened, chromium-plated piston rods

Pistons with V-shaped Teflon seals – optimal sealing with minimal friction – temperature-resistant, durable damping technology

High-quality, high-tensile racing springs

German TUEV-tested adjustment parameters

Toe Links

To compliment the front side of the rear suspension we have designed our own traction links. They help locate the rear end more precisely via the rod end replacing the stock rubber bushing. They are also pretty close to stock weight while adding a lot of adjustment options. Great for additional freedom in rear alignment adjustment.

The stock toe links on the IS300 and Gen 2 GS are a significant cause of inner tire wear and eve worse the inner subframe adjustment mounts can become damaged making an alignment a crap shoot. FIGS has taken a long time to develop an OEM quality solution that allows easy adjustment, long product service life and the most control over the rear toe geometry of any similar product on the market. We maintained the strength of the system with absolutly no weldment at the rod end interface. That means a carbon steel or chromoly single peice thread stud integrated with the bearing for maximum strength. Tapered studs are precision machined and heat treated 4140 chromoly that are then ED coated to keep them from rusting. FIGS designed our own HMA top nut, an industry first. This allows maximized top clearance and compactness so that there is no interference. It also allows serviceability should the rod end wear and need replacing. These compliment the MEGA arms by providing a blance rear steering strategy under bump, making them an obvious choice for descriminating race teams and club cars.

Trac Links

Location:Front of lower rear suspension

Features:

Length adjustment of up to 1.5" without removing from vehicle.
Adjusts rear caster angle, Camber without affecting toe. A perfect add-on for vehicles with MEGA Arms and Toe links. Note: for initial camber adjustment FIGS suggests MEGA arms first as the work to counteract the toe links. This balance is what saves tire wear, not camber itself.
Increased rear steering feel because rubber bushing is replaced with a rod end.
Added strength over stock parts for better power transmission to the ground.
Perfect for the track, street or strip.
Top quality materials and workmanship mean you are buying the best product on the market compared to low quality competing parts.

Specs

Economy( 2-P),Slot Injection Molded Race (2-P)MOTO, and Precision (3-P)rod end choices, PTFE lined.
SUS303 FIGS rod end spacers for precision chassis mount.
Swaged 1" SAE 1012 steel tubing for reduced weight and increased strength. Knurled for grip and yellow zinc or Black Dichromate finish for corrosion resistance.
Clevis is TIG welded HRPO 1010 Steel with a 4140 Chromoly threaded stud. The threads are die-rolled instead of cut for maximum strength.
Cross gusseting for added strength.With MOTO and 3-P options.
Powdercoating available.Contact FIGS for more information. Delivered as bare steel otherwise. Clevis will need to be coated.

Toe Links

Location:Front middle of ear suspension

As a compliment to our other suspension products, we will be slowing building up a bushing set base on the most critical applications.

The First Bushing set will be a solid steering rack bushing, due to be released on 4-20-2010. The next target will be the front Caster bushed for the leading arm int he front suspension.
