We’ve tested loads of different coilovers over the past few years and found there to be a big gap in the market between the very expensive competition solutions and poor-performing budget products which may go low and stiff, but give a badly damped, bouncy ride. We’ve spent a long time researching different company’s products and testing them out for ourselves on the road and on track.
What the new Driftworks Control System coilovers represent are the best quality, most durable and robust equipment we have come across, offered at an affordable price. We’ve worked closely with HD System over the past year (they've been making Monotube dampers for over 20 years now), to come up with a product that offers the best possible performance, with the build quality and durability that driving conditions across Europe demand.
Phil Morrison wrote: "I have driven a massive aray of different brands of coilovers over the years. The Driftworks Control System Coilovers are the product of many hours of testing and development. I rank them up there with coilovers costing many many times more. They are the coilover of choice for our new 2008 2JZ GTE Powered S15 Silvia, which has had absolutely no expense spared."
The key word here is compliance, the ability to have a firm, responsive ride, that also soaks up the bumps to give a smooth and predictable driving experience, whether your requirements are for fast road, or full track use.
FAQ:
Why are only some models camber adjustable?
With strut type suspension like on the front of an S13, S14, S15 Silvia or AE86 Corolla, the damper is an integral part of the suspension structure. This means that changes in the damper position can change the camber and castor angles of the front suspension. Where this is applicable, our front coilovers include camber adjustment. In all applications where camber can only be controlled by adjustable suspension arms, non adjustable pillowball top mounts are used.
What are the spring rates?
Spring rates for S13, S14, S15 and R32 GTS Skyline are 8kgf/mm front and 6kgf/mm rear. You will find that they give a more performance orientated ride, without the terribly bouncy damping associated with cheap low quality coilover kit's using equivelent spring rates. We have tested them for track and road use, and find these spring rates to be ideal.
Are these available for any other cars?
At the moment, we have popular Drift fitments available in large quantities of UK stock. We are manufacturing regularly and can provide these coilovers for a wide variety of cars. Just get in touch with us if you would like to organise a group buy for your application.
How low will I be able to get my car with these coilovers?
There’s a wide range of height adjustment that will allow you to set your ride height anywhere between a subtle, sporty lowered stance to completely slammed on the floor.
I don’t know…. what if I’m not happy with them?
We’re so sure you’ll be impressed, that we’re offering a no quibble, 30 day money back guarantee with our coilovers. Contact us for more details on this.
What are Monotube dampers?
Most uprated or aftermarket dampers are twin-tube design with low pressure gas to try and keep the oil from foaming as the damper moves. The Monotube damper design uses much higher gas pressure to better stabilise the oil, even under extreme and prolonged use. Because of the larger capacity damper (approx 30% increase over stock) heat dissipation is also greatly improved.
Why are some applications inverted?
With strut type suspension like on the front of an S13, S14, S15 Silvia or AE86 Corolla, the damper is an integral part of the suspension structure and as such, sees very high lateral loads in multiple directions. With the conventional upright design, piston rods can bend and even snap under extreme loads. The inverted or upside-down Monotube design as used on our strut models has massively more lateral strength when compared to an upright setup, so is a lot more robust and geared up to cope with whatever you can throw at it. With most rear suspension and with double-wishbone type front suspension, (as on the Skyline) very little lateral forces are seen, so the conventional setup works fine there.
*Inverted design and camber adjustment are applicable to strut type applications like the 200SX and AE86
