Default StartupRacing Gran Turismo Suspension Kits are coming in early next week.

<center><img src="http://www.startupracing.com/images/Suspension/IMG_0534.JPG"></center><p>Hi:

All existing order will ship by the end of the month. If you know that this is the kit you want, please order now while the sale is in progress.

Once I ship all the pre-orders, the sale will end.

This is by far the best bang for your dollar when it comes to high performance coil over kits. Many here know, that to get something that is similar you are looking at $2,000.<ul><li><a href="http://www.startupracing.com/B5ProductsSuspension.htm">http://www.startupracing.com/B5ProductsSuspension.htm</a</li></ul>

Default Screw it!

I just preordered a GT kit. I was trying to get a ride in a track sport equipped car but had no luck so I just bit the bullet.

The things that swayed my decision:

1. If I'm gonna buy a kit without trying it, I'd rather pay $1100 than $1900.

2. like the idea of higher spring rates out back. Hopefully will get me closer to neutral than, say, a street sport kit.

3. Folks who have it seem generally happy, though it is a very subjective thing.


Things that give me pause:

1. Non-adjustable damping. I suspect that once I got the track sports adjusted I'd never touch them. I hope the GT works out of the box.

I'm on the fence about progressive vs. linear springs. I'm hoping that the progressive springs will keep the ride somewhat civil but I'd really like to control the roll better than stock and I'm willing to give up some comfort for that.

Default I would add... 30 day money back, and I can only do that as they do "work out of the box" :-)

And most importantly. THANK YOU.

I hope that my new marketing items make it here in time to include a little gift in each box.

Default We have one now...

Once I place the next order, the standard price on these kits will be $1,295 unless the dollar gets stronger... and then we will keep it at $1,250.

Because of the custom nature and smaller runs of these kits, our costs are higher than on standard Vogtlands. In return you get a suspension that will give you truly balanced handling, with a reduction of under steer. (Most people will save $200 to 300 by skipping the rear bar.)

Look at it this way. Vogtlands or Konis or Eibach on GB plus a rear bar is still more than our kits are today.
