If anybody is like me with the DJM 3/3 with 20X10.5 all the way around, then you probably are desperate for coil-overs too. I've been looking for quality suspension for my X ever since XII quit making them. So far, I got a hold of 3 well known companies.
1. Tein - They have offered to make me a suspension setup completely customized starting at $1500 w/ fronts being coil-overs. That includes front and rears. They have a 3 month lead time seeing how I have to send them my existing shocks and they'll have them sent over to Japan for the build to have them make a fully complete kit with brackets and all. Depending on the setup, which I plan to make it for the circuit, it'll be higher in cost. I used their Circuit Masters on my Evo X and I can vouche for them as my Evo was mainly a track car and handled like a god
2. BC Coilovers - I'm waiting on a reply from them, however, the lead time for them is 2 weeks. I'm waiting on the price.
3. Ohlins - I'm waiting on a reply from them, however, I think the lead time might be as long as Tein seeing how they are based out of Sweden. But Man, do I like Ohlins.
So far, I plan on going with a spring rate of 10k (600ish lbs/in) linear for the front with a monotube design (i know, it'll be pretty bumpy) and dampening adjustable. For the rears, I'm going to try and get a monotube design as well with dampening adjustable capable of handling 3000lbs load capacity.
It'll be expensive, at least more than the QA-1's. But if anyone is interested in going in with me, I'll keep you guys posted. Also, if anyone has there stock struts, I could use them so I'm not assed out of a truck possibly 3 months.
