Hi guys,
As you know I all have that Red super VR4 Galant in transit and cannot wait till she gets here.
Now thing is you guys might not know that I used to own a very rare 3rd Gen Mitsubishi GTO. Aftermarket parts for this car were very scarce and because I owned and operated Brisbane car Audio & Performance back then I had finances, contacts and knowledge/R&D to make shit happen.
My company developed a Coilover suspension system for the GTO's in conjunction with one of our reputable suppliers.
Here is what we made:
A one-off coilover setup made from various components from JIC, KSport and TEIN. Even though its a one-off setup it can be rebuilt by any place that rebuilds suspension because all parts are off the shelf from the respective manufacturers, nothing was made proprietary to avoid this problem.
I invested invested over $7000 R&D and initial production costs for this prototype.
Components are made in Taiwan, Japan, USA and Australia. Then all of it is assembled in Australia by our workshop.
- 32 way adjustable damping.
- 45mm internal piston for the ultimate valving characteristics.
- Duralumin 6061 Seats.
- Body made from high quality T6061 Aluminum.
- Adjustable Compression / Rebound.
- Height adjustment.
- Adjustable body allowing maximum suspension travel
- Pillow Ball Top Mount with adjustable camber plates.
- Monotube Nitrogen Gas Damper.
- Electroplated body in a one off gold color.
- 14kg Front and 10kg rear spring rates.
- Only fit AWD 3000GT, GTO & Stealth.
Now the good news is my supplier already has all the specs and details for the EC5A VR4 Galant so making them would be a piece of piss as opposed to the setup I made and all would be made in his factory and shipped straight to us.
Since I am not in the performance parts business these days I could make these as a charity case lol (whatever it costs me it costs you) and have them shipped to your door for $1000 a set.
This is only an idea, I'm not here to make money. I am out of the performance parts industry and into the food business because thats where the money is, consider this more as a favour, "cause I can" kinda thing if anyone was keen?
Also bare in mind if anyone was keen the would have to wait till my Galant VR4 landed in Aus so I could really drive it hard and do a bit of track time to gauge what spring rates would be necessary, off the top of my head based on the weight of the car and the front bias a 10kg front and 8kg rear would be an awesome all rounder.
Thanks
