Super glad you went for Shockworks mate, they are truly the best coilovers on the market in Aus and I absolutely loved my set in my Crown Estate. Very keen to get a set in my Chaser when funds permit.
Yeah, I'm super happy with them! I definitely get why people recommend spending the extra over BCs for them. Super comfortable when cruising and dailying them, yet excellent handling when you're ripping it!
Thanks! I also love the pace of your videos. Very chill even after the sway bar link. I see MCA comfort pro are Front 16kg Rear 8kg. Do you find your shockworks are a bit stiff or you prefer this way? Maybe future proof for skid pan?
@@petrolhead9756 Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it! And I actually think I'm just in the perfect sweet spot for a daily drive. You almost don't notice you're not on stock suspension just cruising around, driving to work, etc. This might be because Shockworks apparently tune the dampers after talking with you so the coils will suit your needs. So the stiff springs might not be as stiff as say 20kg on BCs for example. The only time where you can notice the stiffness on the fronts is if you take a speed bump a bit too quick, and then it's a bit of a jolt. So you do have to go slower than normal over speedbumps, but otherwise I can't complain!
@Life of Wings Thanks for taking the time to reply in detail. That sounds perfect for a street car, potentially a little track use. I might give Shockworks a call in the new year and get the same set. Keen to see your new wheels video and find out if you need aftermarket upper camber arm since the car is lower now.
@@petrolhead9756 No problems! And yeah they're good to talk to and know a heap about suspension tuning. And me too! Wheels video should be coming pretty soon!
Hey mate, nice choice. I have a JZX110 up here in QLD. Starting slowly with the mods too. I've currently got Teins installed on mine from back in its Japan days. What are your thoughts on Shockworks?
Nice pickup! The Shockworks are amazing, couldn't recommend them enough! Because they ask you a lot of questions about how you want to use the car, the coils they set up for you are pretty much exactly what you ask for. Mine are set up perfect for a daily street driven car. Almost don't notice they're installed, but firm up real nicely for any spirited driving I do
@@LifeofWings thanks mate. Do you have any socials? Love to share content with you. Regarding the Teins, they are slightly tired and was looking for a replacement shortly. If the shockworks are good as you say, I’ll look into them. I will be doing some spirted driving and the occasional track/drift day. Funny I should stumble upon your page, you have the same varex style exhaust as mine!
@@sumeetkumar8026 I'm @lifeofwings20 on insta Yeah worth talking to them if you're in the market for new coils And nice! In all honesty, I might replace my varex at some point... doesn't work the best for me

Love your videos. Very informative. What are the spring rates of the front and rear?
Thankyou!! And yeah, I realised whilst editing I forgot to mention spring rates. So the fronts are 20kg/mm and the rears are 12kg/mm
