Let me set up the scenario... A picture perfect friday morning at Buttonwillow Raceway... 6 suspension tuned Celicas are invited by Sport Compact including Hotchkis Tuning... We arrive friday to find all Celicas raring to go.. Plus a WRX, and a Mitsubishi EVO full race prepared (not legal to drive in the U.S.).. And so the tests begin.. One by one... Slalom, road course, skid pad, and braking... Hotchkis is confident of the results!!! The driver (provided by Sport Compact Car) doing all the testing, steps out of our Celica, looks over at John Hotchkis and kind of grins with a shaking of the head.... "Your car handles better than most race cars I've driven"..... Now the only test we did not come out on top was acceleration... Go figure, with our "stock" motor... This issue should be coming out petty soon... So you guys can read for yourself how our suspension did in a head to head competition.... Later guys and girls, J.C....

can u tell us a little bit about more about those new springs that are under development and how long do i need to wait for them?

Yeah.... The "RACE" coil application will be smaller but stiffer and strictly for racing using our coil-over kit... A little something for the true race guys that need a stiffer application for track driving..
We started prototyping these coils on real race tracks throughout the U.S.... We should be ready for production in about a month or so...
