You HAVE TO do the bushings with the Penske's... I won't allow you not to
NJ is close, you are welcome to come over for install. Advantage of coming over is you can try our shop ISF with the 18/16 spring combo and see if its suits you. Our standard spring combo is 16/14.... but for ultimate handling, the 18/16 is really nice.
Ok, so I updated the list and added you to the BB... thanks!

Wish I could try the shop car, but I'm all the way in Cali. If you go for the 18/16 spring combo, at that point is it full race spec. type stiffness? As in, if you care about any ounce of comfort, you'll hate the spring combo?

The thing is... 18/16 is amazing for the track, but it is totally comfortable. You guys in Cali don't realize how banged up the back roads are in Pennsylvania where I live. It is really terrible. I recently took a customer for a ride on the backroads, and everyone is very surprised how compliant the car is. Best of all, it is extremely stable and well planted. We hit a big bump (more like jump) at 80mph under full throttle and car is extremely planted, no drama.
bbong lives in PA and we installed our coilovers on his car with the 16/14 combo back in September. You can read his review, but I know that he was quite shocked by how the 16/14 setup felt as comfortable as his stock 2012 ISF suspension, even on the back roads.
In any case, even if you get the 18/16 combo and think it is too harsh, you can always move the 16kg spring up front, and buy 14kg springs for the rear... its only about $150.

Not sure, but Swift lowering springs are about 9F/8R, so I would estimate that OEM are about 10-20% softer. If you are asking because you are concerned about ride comfort, then please keep in mind that what's important is the effective spring rate of the spring+bump stop. Once the suspension hits the bump stops, spring rates ramps up very quickly, which is one of the reasons the stock suspension is so uncomfortable.

Hello,
Thanks for this group buy option. If you hit the 6+ pre-order.... what is the shipped price to 80127? I just bought the USRS a couple weeks ago... is there any additional discount on that?
How do these compare to some of the cheaper options. What range do they allow for lowering a stock 2012 ISF?
What is the estimated install time for a local shop? Sadly, I am not close to your shop at all....
When do you expect these to ship, late December?
Thanks

Shipping should be about $50 to most zips in the USA.
Additional USRS discount is for new orders only... sorry.
Regarding lowering, the lowering range we recommend is about 0.75"-1" in the back, and 1"-1.5 up front. But for best handling and comfort I would stick to 0.75" rear, and 1-1.25" front.
Install time should be about 3 hours, plus another $100 or so for an alignment.
We will end this BB on Nov 27th (Black Friday!)
We will ship by mid December, and you all will get your suspensions for X-mas.

No worries, maybe by the Spring/Summer oil prices will be back up and Canadian dollar will rebound
