Any idea on price point?

Maybe same as the previous model offerings?

All the same suspension from my understanding.

Subscribed if they work on a 2013 up but base on above only option is H&R =( for us 13-15 owners or did I miss something

I asked Eibach to make more springs and said no....

OP, any updates, did you get a chance to test the ride  more? Pros and cons?

 

[zach_435]

Yeah I did ride is good but some cons are that the front end seems to be a bit soft in comparison to the rear. And this is with the dampeners set roughly 10-12 clicks out from all the way hard. Also I'm experiencing a chattery noise coming from the two front coilovers more so the driver side. Danny the guy I'm dealing with seems to think that bearing is failing due to the wait of the car so they are sending me new ones I'm assuming stronger. We will see

Good to know that there is progress, and these are heavy cars, the quality and strength is a must in order that they last.

May just be a pre-production glitch.  Has the weight of the SHO changed significantly from 2010 to 2015?

subbed more info

OP, can you give us more updates on your setup, did you receive the new strut mount, and how is everything in regards to driving?

 

[zach_435]

update on the coilovers, i have yet to receive the new bearing due to the fact that Danny, the guy i'm in contact with at megan wants me to take the car to a shop near me that is a direct dealer for them and also is knowledgeable on fixing issues with the coilovers. I just haven't had time to take my car down to his shop. My best guess is that the spring rate being a 6k spring, is just too light for the front end and it is bottoming out which caused the shock to fail. Kinda curious what the spring rate is on the 10-12 coilovers.

Are they finalized design wise now?

 

[m3dragon]

what is the height range adjustment and damper settings?

 

[zach_435]

Not yet  :- i still need to take my car to their guy they use where I'm at. Im hoping to take it there tomorrow after work.

dampening is 32 way adjustable all the way around

The front is about a .5 in lower then stock all the way up and to about 1.5-2 inches all the way down

The rear i would say all the way up is the equivalent of the h&r maybe a little lower to about 2 inches

but the good thing is that when you lower or raise it the shock travel stays the same so you don't lose ride quality

Bump...

Zach's question is a good one... What's involved in corner balancing and who does it, how?

From my understanding, corner balancing, in a very generic way, is performed by placing weights at each corner, and then pre-loading the sway bars, etc. to help carry any loads, both shifting, and stationary.

Used primarily in road coursing applications, and although I have yet to have it performed on my SHO, I was able to source a vendor about 1-1.5hrs away from me, that quoted between $600- $700 for the service.

Apparently it is a rather "involved" process.
