These are currently not available with an inverted shock body or remote reservoir; however, I dont think its necessary. They way the street spec BCs held up at the track with amazing composure the other options arent necessary at all. The street spec is that good. I think these are the best coilovers on the market right now for the ST at this price.

Each set will be 30way adjustable, compression/rebound. And each will have the valving and spring rates matched for the Fiesta ST, therefore it will take a minimum of 3 weeks to build the sets. They will all ship around the same time as they will be built in a batch. Meaning once we hit 7, the bulk order will go in.

You will order at www.2j-racing.com when we hit 7 and I will adjust the price. All our orders go through a SSL connection and you can use your CC or PayPal. We dont accept Amex.

The price will be $300 less than the MSRP of $1250. We ship to Canada and worldwide.

Sorry for the delay. We have our new dyno coming in from dyno jet and it includes an OBDII interface that links to the graph. So much easier to tune with the PIDs overlaid on the curve. Cant wait to try it out. As I mentioned, this car would really do well with 250whp/260wtq. I'm hoping by the end of this year, this will be a simple combo of 4-5 parts and under $2K to get there.

The BCs are a go. I've been riding on the 5K rear springs for two weeks (up from the 4K rear) and I like them but I think its a little too much rotation for the street. The 6/4K setup is such a great balance.

Lets get a list going - who is in for a set? I'll update the site and we all can place our orders

The height adjustment level is 2" higher than stock to 2.5" lower than stock (4.5" total). I dont recommend either of those extremes, but its very easy to find your happy medium with these.

For daily, I run the dampening setting at +5 Rear (from full soft) and +4 Front (from full soft).

The price ($950) includes free shipping. And you can add extra spring pairs (like a 5K rear, etc) for just $99 a pair.

Please keep in mind, the car will ride "softer" with the BCs set at the dampening I mentioned above. Softer than stock. The bounciness and stiffness of the stock suspension goes away.

ALSO: With BCs, the ride height setting is INDEPENDENT of the spring preload. Meaning, you can lengthen and shorten the entire shock body without effecting the shock travel or spring preload (unlike GCs or KWs). This means no matter how low or high you go, the shock will always perform the same.

Each order is custom made - meaning, someone can order 7K/5K (thats +1K front/rear) and the valving for that specific set will be matched with the spring rate chosen. And its set up to run +- 2K, if you decide to go up or down in rates later on.

Think of it like this, spring releases energy and its the job of the shock to dampen it. High spring rates, poor dampening equal a choppy ride. So the shock valving has to be matched to the spring energy.

If you watch the race video I posted (vs M3), I'm running 215s and the car is lowered. No rubbing, even full lock, full compression. AND I am running 10mm spacers on TD wheels.

Regarding the cold, it has a slight effect if any. Much like a cold tire. Once you drive for a few minutes it feels as it does in the warmer months. Normal. There are no changes you need to make with the BCs in the cold. And in the many years we've sold these, we've have never had a set go bad. That includes on our race car. They have outlasted my KWs. For the money, these are hard to beat.

If you like, everyone can place their orders now and once we hit 7, I will refund everyone the difference. You and/or I will update this with each order placed.
