Hi guys

A few of my friends know that i have been testing the Kido racing range of products that are Made in Taiwan, particularly their brake kits, and coilover suspension packages with surprising results.

They really stand up to some serious abuse, and i have no qualms in using them in my future vehicle builds. I have tested them on my R34 GTR and are currently going through installation on the Supra which i have built over the last two years.

The deal with the coilovers is $1100 per set including delivery to your door, and they come with custom spring settings, so if you require a heavier or lighter spring than Kido provides please let me know when you place the order.

The reason i use this company is they have an association with manufacturing some of the Greddy products, and i was willing to give them a go.

$1100 including shipping with choice of spring rates, 10 people needed. Group buy will go for three months or stop earlier if the numbers are reached.

Here is some information on whats available and some photos.

● Mono-tube shock design

● 40 levels of dampening adjustability can be set to any preference

● 44mm linear characteristic internal piston

● Italian IP F.A 5W made very high viscosity index guarantees efficient shock-absorbing action at any ambient temperature

● Lower bracket height adjustability prevents the needs to adjust the spring perch offering the max shock-absorbing travel

● SAE9254 cold-bent spring is designed to optimize the balance between performance and comfort

You might want to ready the group buy sticky here

You need to supply a start and end date for your group buy as per the rules.

Letting you know, so your thread doesn't get locked or deleted.

before handing your money over, i hope everyone knows this is the same company making the fake bride seats that are going around, the fake takata harnesses, the fake sard regulators and many other fake seats.

why support a bunch of theives, selling replica items for almost the same price.

Because making people pay $1000's for something that would cost nowhere near as much to make isn't thieving?

IDC what you say about R&D they still factor in a major profit margin.

Before we get on the bagging train, please realise that these coilovers are no different, than maybe , G4, D2 and the like. They are pretty much all made in Taiwan and is no way reflected on their quality.

However if you want to feel like research and development is the way to go then go ahead and buy any of the other brand names. I have used the product and all i can say is i havent had any problems.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
