Curious what spring rates do the kits come with front and rear? Are they customisable?

We are using 9kg for the front and 8kg for the rear. They can be changed but is what we found to give the best balance mid corner and comfortable for daily driving.
They can always be changed, depending on use.

Hi Mcfly,
At this stage we can only offer the fully adjustable kits front and rear. we spent many days tuning the AU as a whole package to make the car feel as one. Many customers have different dampers front and rear with a mix of springs and the car never really feels great.
The fully adjustable kits for the AU are $2200.
Cheers
Brett

HI for those of us that are not looking to fit the coilover rear setup , will the top hats actually bolt onto the normal setup , and what sort of lifespan do you think they will achieve, as so far there is NOTHING available on the market to fix up the irs problem apart from this option , cheers john

Hi John,
The top mount is specific to the tenon dimensions and unfortunately will not be selling separately mate.

Cheers

Wish I saw this post earlier. I bought a set of rear XYZ, and not that really happy with them, but they are ok for now. I have Pedders Xtreme for front.

Do you sell just rear ?
