Who Makes This Coilover?

no idea who makes it but it's lipstick on a pig and a waste of perfectly good springs putting them on the stock shocks.

The bottom spring is there to lower the car. Without letting the main spring flop around. I'm guessing the main spring is pretty stiff or they are lowering the car a lot. On my car I lowered it about an inch and use 400 lb/in springs in the rear and the spring is about 1/4" of the perch at full extension.

 

Agree 100% on all accounts.

While it provides lowering/height adjustment, the stock Konis don't compare to modern adjustable shocks.

I have double adjustable Motons on my 308QV.....night and day

 

It strikes me that perhaps the desire is to offer a two-stage (progressive) spring rate? Lighter spring perhaps allows for a certain amount of movement equivalent to having soft springs but once compressed fully any further movement must be taken up by the second spring which is obviously of a much higher spring rate.

Seeking the best of both worlds perhaps?

 

There are setups with 2 springs to create a progressive effect, but this isn't one of them. The small spring is VERY soft, it's just ther to keep the big spring from rattling at full extension.

 

I've tried both and personally I don't like either. I find them mushy at when the suspension is extended and hash when its compressed, but that just might be preference. I do like the soft stop the rattle spring in the pic for this setup but I've never tried anything like that.

 

Excuse the ignorance but why not just wind the bottom adjuster up to meet the thick spring at it's fully extended point?
