We get coilovers only a few times a year, and because these parts are so rare and sought after, they are always sold out with pre-orders before the parts arrive (despite me ordering double the quantity each time) so I am posting the announcement for the next round in advance in case you missed them on one of the previous shipments. We are getting in 100% more parts this round so there should be plenty of room for everyone to preorder, but I doubt there will be leftover stock since the last shipment sold out 3 weeks before arrival.

Heres what you need to know.

~Parts ship out to the USA June 11th
~Models available to preorder in this shipment are:
Nissan S13 & S14
~When you pay in advance, you get a reservation for parts that are due to land in the USA around the 11th of July, and we should have them clear of customs and in hand around 7-20.
~We dispatch parts with UPS as soon as we get them and send you tracking at that time by email.
~Price is $1000 cash for locals and around $1080 shipped to 49 states, final price is calculated by our shopping cart. Feel free to click the add to cart link for a live shipping estimate. If you need a quote to include other parts as seen in our other advertiser threads, or even our website, the cart will remember all of them until checkout.
~To reserve a set of coilovers with or without other MAX parts you can pay in part or in full via paypal as long as parts are paid in full before its time to ship to you. If you are not paid in full upon parts arrival, you will loose your place to someone else who pays in full before you so please be responsible about paying them off in time (or simplify everything by paying 100% up front).

Article in Drift tengoku this January 2010 features Parts Shop MAX coilovers!

Basically this whole issue is dedicated to people who had their drift car for a while and is looking into changing their tired old suspension.

Question is should you save some money or get the best of the best?

Drift Tengoku has seen alot of companies offereing new suspensions for less and so they decided to do a test.

This was a test of 3 Competitors:
DMAX recommended from Nakamura from Burst $1350

Parts Shop MAX recommended from Yokoi from Mind Control $1000

HKS Hypermax-D NOB spec recommended from Taniguchi $2400

Racing gear was the old worn out coilovers on "Funky's" car who works for dtift tengoku
His car is a S13 with TD06 turbo making 350PS with roll cage, GP sports knuckles 4* front camber 1* rear camber zero toe front and rear.
Testing time was 12 minutes each at mobara twin circuit
tires were new 235 40 17 federal ss595 3kg/m2 pressure rear
This was a blind test meaning the driver did not know which ones he was testing till later.

MAX
located in fujieda city
Yokoi from mind control recommends this because he's been doing good in D1SL with it
Normally they come with 10 - 8 but since Yokoi runs 8/6 thats how they tested it.
side note 6 kg is only in black
A very unique thing about these is that the pillowball uppers for both front and rear both have a spring top had that allows unrestricted pillowball movement.

They liked how most of the construction is aluminum so the whole set weighs 19 kg which is the lightest of all types tested. This is a good mix of Japanese and overseas parts to give you a great suspension for $1000
(they started out on click 4 front and 4 rear out of 8 )
First impression is that it felt stiff and they wonder why because the spring rate is lower than the standard rates. They noticed that the front end of the car feels amazing, and responsive so he could see the difference between this one and his previous suspension. He likes the way it feels when the car gets up on the track curb. The rear felt bouncy so they put the rear on full soft and afterwards it felt better. Funky says with this change the rear feels good and the front has massive traction so when you kick the back out hard, the car has a feeling of control. One important thing to know about how Parts Shop MAX is different from other stiff coilovers is that typically when a car is set up really stiff, its usually it is prone to spinouts, but the opposite was true of p.s.MAX - it had great control.

Racing gear JTC/N1
This suspension was on the car for the last three years but the shock was not blown. The bottom mount bushing was worn. The spring was switched to Eiback 8KG in the front and swift 6KG in the rear. The tester knew right away it was his suspension. He knows this suspension really well, it is easy to kick out the tail but once it starts sliding its hard to stop. Single runs he can drive this suspension bcause he knows it, but the rear is too unpredictable to follow someone well or get consistancy in back to back runs.

HKS Hypermax-D NOB spec
They talk about how it comes with many tools for special adjustments. The front has a 2 way adjuster for camber and caster. Rear has a helper spring. Super high quality and beautiful. Has a 1 year warranty. They say it felt great just driving down the paddock, soft. There is no special characteristics to the drift feeling, it was just straight forward feeling, so they tried to see how it feels by clicking the damping one click and that is impossible, it just feels the same, they had to click it 14 times just to tell the difference. There is no extreme characteristics, so it hay be good for a beginner, but for the drivers taste he would prefer something more "edgy".

D-MAX
The tester was really interested in finding out about this suspension because the D1SL was won three times on it. Quality is good, and comes with all the little accessories so thay are impressed with what you get for the price. Started out with 16 out of 32 clicks. He likes this the best for overall balance. This suspension matches the S13 well. Trying the rear softer, there is major understeer so he was like OH Shit and so he tried front and rear full soft and didnt like it either so he put it back to where it was before. Says it is good because the adjustments actually work for dialing in you type of car.

Summary:

Best Cost effectiveness - DMAX

Best Comfort - HKS

Best Purchase ability and steering response - Parts Shop MAX

Unique things about each one:
Dmax has a slotted lower for more camber and a fitting so it wont come loose
Hypermax-D the most positive camber setting could only get it to negative three, so this in in line with more modern camber settigs used with knuckle mods.
Parts Shop MAX - The huge difference in weight of the aluminum brackets - the coarse thread makes it easy to adjust - the issue with the rear balance that they did not have time to fine tune could be dialed in on your car to get the perfect balance with the fantastic front feeling during testing. Being the cheapest is a real plus too!

~~Our thoughts~~

After reading the article, I am thankful that they chose to feature us and that they touched on some things that were important to us like giving you alot of coilover for a little money, but I am a little bummed that they did not touch on some other factors that make our suspension great for alot of people like its low ride height ability so I would have liked to see a compairo of a company with a more similar goals to ours like 326 power (cover cars of this issue) which has spring rates of 14/12 KG. Its necessary to have higher spring rates and proper alignment settings such as a traction rod lengthened for a super low car (and the higher rates dont feel as high as you would imagine when all of the settings are in harmony) Clearly Funky at DT has a preference for softer rates whereas our prefernece is for the 10/8 in cars setup for maximum style and performance. Also the overall conclusion was that DMAX was #1, and thats a little weird since the car testing this stuff has DMAX stickers all over it. Is Funky partial to a certain advertiser in his mag with a multi page ad every month? lol
