Coilover kits

Built for your car, not the catalogue

Every level is the same kit: the same race-bred, 24-stage digressive monotube, the same envelope. What you choose is how much of our time, valving and engineering goes into it. Other brands segment by colour and price and put a lesser product at the bottom. We give everyone the full kit and let you buy the level of our involvement.

The same hardware at every level

01 · Road-spec support

Benchmark

$2,990

For spirited street driving with the odd track day. A built street setup, valved and sprung for the road and how you actually drive it. Not a box off the shelf guessing one rate for everyone.

Stay here if the car is a street car that sees the odd track day, and you want it specced once and left alone.

Step up to Track if you have a circuit you keep returning to, or the car has to be quick on Sunday and civil on Monday.

What changes with how you drive

A drift build and a circuit build are not the same kit on different clicks. The hardware is shared, the shim stack inside it is not, and what you do with the car decides which one you get.

  • Circuit

    The same corners, lap after lap. Valved to hold the car flat under sustained load and still take a kerb without letting a tyre go.

  • Drift

    Close to the opposite job. The rear has to squat and stay predictable while you are sideways, and the front has to bite on turn-in, so it gets its own stack rather than a circuit kit wound soft.

  • Drag

    The one discipline where you want the weight moving backwards. Rebound decides how fast the front comes up, which is the reverse of what a circuit car is asking for.

  • Street

    What most people are actually here for. Enough control to enjoy a good road, enough give to survive a bad one, and a ride height that clears your own driveway.

Built to order on any kit

  • Suspension consultancy

    An hour with the people who build the kits: which arms, bushes and rates suit your car, and why. You leave with a spec and the thinking behind it. Book it on its own, or bring what it turns up to a build.

  • Ride height adjusters

    Set the height without winding preload into the spring, so a low car keeps its travel. Worth having on anything that has to clear a driveway and still corner-weight honestly.

  • Air cups

    Air over the spring on the front corners: lift it to get up a ramp or onto a trailer, drop it back to the setting you drove in on. For the car that lives low and still has to leave the garage.

  • Slammed, or seriously stiff

    Sitting very low, or running rates well off the usual, both take the damper outside where a standard valving works. We shorten the body and revalve to suit rather than sell you a kit that spends its life fighting the spring.

  • Custom chassis development

    Inboard suspension, custom spindles, stub axles and uprights, one-off struts for cars nobody makes parts for any more. Scoped on the hoist and quoted per project.

None of these carry a list price. What they cost depends on the car and the parts, so they are quoted with the build at the consultation.

The envelope on the chart is drawn the same behind all three kits, because it's the same product behind all three. What changes is how much of our time and valving goes into it, and bespoke pricing is confirmed with you first. Prices include GST. Buying online lands late 2026; until then a kit starts with an enquiry or a call to the workshop, and we book the consultation from there. That's where we go through your car, how you drive it, and lock the spec in. We want that call with every customer.

The monotube

24-stage adjustable

A race-bred digressive monotube at every tier. The high-flow piston and valving design gives you a genuine range of adjustment, not the token two-position switch common in cheaper kits.

The philosophy

Valved per car

Every kit is specced and valved to the platform and how you drive it. Three tiers of involvement, one standard of product: Benchmark, Track, or Bespoke from scratch.

The guarantee

Rebuildable for life

We build dampers to be rebuilt, not binned. When a set has done the kilometres, we strip, inspect, re-valve and rebuild it rather than sell you another one, at a price we quote at the time. The kit you buy can outlast the car if you let it.

The step upTRACK / BENCHMARK

What the step costs

+$400

  • 01Track-specific tuning for the circuits you run
  • 02Valved around real track use, street side compromised to suit
  • 03Your default click position set with you on the consultation
  • 04Upgradeable to Bespoke later, without a whole new kit
  • +45 Custom valving

Quick answers

01What is the difference between the three kit tiers?

Benchmark ($2,990) is valved and sprung for the road and the odd track day. Track ($3,390) adds track-specific tuning for the circuits you run. Bespoke ($6,000) is blank-page work: new platforms, heavily modified cars, competition programs, with race data review and trackside support carried in the tier rather than sold as add-ons. Whichever kit you pick, you talk to the engineer who specs it. The money buys our time in the valving and the development behind it. The damper is the same one at every level.

02What hardware do all three tiers share?

A 24-stage adjustable high-flow digressive monotube, CNC machined 10mm alloy top mounts on TIG-welded gusseted bases, Freudenberg seals, adjustable base height and spring preload, and a tool kit. The adjuster sets overall damping force. What changes up the range is the valving work behind it.

03Can one kit do daily driving and track days?

That's what Track ($3,390) is for. The spring rate is fixed once the kit is built, but the adjuster is not: we set your default click position on the consultation, and from there you wind it firmer for a track day and back off for the drive home. If the car changes enough that clicks won't cover it, the damper gets re-valved rather than replaced.

04How low will the car sit?

Around 40mm of drop is typical, with base height and spring preload adjustable from there. Read the state-by-state notes on our warranty page before you set it: past roughly 50mm most states want an engineering certificate, and South Australia and Western Australia have their own requirements for adjustable coilovers whatever the height.

05Is the listed price the full cost?

The price on each kit is the kit, GST included. Fitment, corner-weighting, alignment and freight sit outside it: the services page lists what each of those runs to, so you can see the whole job before you commit to any of it. Bespoke is a fixed price like the other two. If the consultation finds the car needs something outside the kit you asked about, we tell you what it changes and what it costs before anything is built.

06Can I change the setup later, or move up a tier?

Yes. A Track kit can be taken to Bespoke later without buying a whole new kit, and any kit can be re-valved as the car changes: strip, inspect, re-valve, reassemble. Our valving codes keep moving as we develop platforms, so an older set can come up to the current spec rather than just back to where it started. That's the point of building them to come apart.
