excluesiveonez Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Posted this on the .whorg, but you guys deserve this thread. I have been dealing a lot with KSport lately and brought up a concept to them to create a set of coilovers for the Millenia. What they need from the Millenia owners: An initial purchase of 10 kits. I know that if this deal would have come up a few years ago, many people would have jumped on this, but now this is for real, and I have a company willing to work with us. It is your time to step up. How much Other Mazda coilovers are priced below $1k Shipped to anywhere in the contiguous 48 states - the price will be similar for the Millenia. GREAT PRICING! If you are genuinely interested please sign you member name to the list below so that I can get a clear number on interest. Sign your name on one site only.... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. I hope that more than 10 will be interested, this will give us a bigger chance actually get this coilover in to production. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hmm, I would be interested to know more. A few years ago I would have almost instantly jumped on this, What kind of ride and right heights are we talking about? I would honestly be more interested in a big brake kit first though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would honestly be more interested in a big brake kit first though The way these coilover are set up, you can drop the car as low as necessary WITHOUT losing any ride comfort. If you want to drive on the floor (which I know you wouldn't) you could, and retain ride comfort. Pretty much same thing goes with the brakes, if we can get 10 people, we can get it done. Only thing is that that is pretty expensive compared to this. but I would need 10 kits sold, before they produce these for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankzao Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 At about what price? $1,000.00 US? Too rich for me right now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excluesiveonez Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 At about what price? $1,000.00 US? Too rich for me right now...... my assumption is it will be around 900 shipped inside the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackin Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 oh my god. why couldn't this have happened a year ago??? i would have jumped on it so quickly. I would have gotten coils instead of my sound system for sure. now i have college coming up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 ren was going to make the brackets and then give a list of rotors and calipers to use, but it never happened, the brackets alone could be done for probably 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 so far only 1 from .org What a shame, after years of whining about limited aftermarket parts, now when an option occurs there is minor interest. The hardcore Milly enthusiasts are getting fewer day by day... How is damper longevity and ride quality? Comparable to stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardcore Milly enthusiasts are getting fewer day by day... How is damper longevity and ride quality? Comparable to stock? Longevity should be good because unlike a single tap coilover, you are adjusting where the strut is, not where the spring is, therefore the strut is performing at optimal travel at all times (well unless you go beyond its limits of course). You can tune the struts but they will most likely be a bit more sporty than stock. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renboy Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I can't believe that more people haven't jumped on this. Ksports are reasonably good suspensions that carry a 1 year warranty and are rebuildable. At this price, it's cheaper to have coils than to replace stock with stock. As for the BBK, this is exactly the reason it didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I am no longer in possession of a Millenia, or I would have been all over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm seriously concidering it, but I do NOT want a bouncy ride (as in lack of rebound damping compared to spring stiffness), if the setup is say no more than 20% firmer than stock damping it wold be fine. Clue, I take it the damping is adjustable, do you know if there is both bound and rebound adjustment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excluesiveonez Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I am no longer in possession of a Millenia, or I would have been all over this. WWHATTTTT! I'm seriously concidering it, but I do NOT want a bouncy ride (as in lack of rebound damping compared to spring stiffness), if the setup is say no more than 20% firmer than stock damping it wold be fine. Clue, I take it the damping is adjustable, do you know if there is both bound and rebound adjustment? You can adjust the dampening, preload, and height. Check out information on a full tap coilover.

Clue, I take it the damping is adjustable, do you know if there is both bound and rebound adjustment? For that price Xedos, there's no way they'll have separate adjustments for both compression and rebound. They will probably have a single adjustment for both. I wonder if you can order specific spring rates, or if they're all the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 like I said, I would love to get in on this, but don't have the funds right now and would like alittle feedback before committing anyway. I agree its a shame there isn't more interest, so I don't want to hear any bitching in the future. Of course you could always buy 10 and try to resell on ebay to the masses or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, there are preload adjustments on the springs and valve adjustments as well. As for me buying up all the kits.... Anyone want to go in on it with me?

You think it's only black people that overspend? Look at the housing market in Las Vegas (Nevada being prodominantly white). Not to mention Nevada supported McCain, not Barak. I also disagree with overspending, but it has nothing to do with race or politics. Stupidity goes beyond the borders of politics or race.
