305 is not a problem for the frame.

I made the rear D2s into full coilovers a few years back and when you get OVER 305, then they can get into the spring on the coilover.

I went back to the traditional setup and narrowed the control arm that the spring sits in to get extra clearance.

325s will work on a 20" wheel, but smaller than that, there are other touch points.

Over 325s, you will need to tub it a little.

Of course all of this depends on what size wheel you are running.

I too have only HEARD great things about FEAL. No experience.

"They would use parts like D2's" - so they would have single adjustable shocks/different damping (from D2/K-Sport)/swift springs?

Do we have an idea of which Swift springs (rate wise) they plan on using f/r?

If/when 5 people commit, how long'ish before they are in hand? It sounds like they are not going to use the set up that was on the owner's car?

I do like that their shocks can be rebuilt/revalved and they do that in-house.

We don't know what spring rates as of yet. Or you can get whatever you think is right. We have the five ordered. Since they decided to start from scratch they won't be ready for a month or two. Their intention is to bring them to market.

But why? It's just another taiwan crap part for the cheapo import crowd that doesn't care about performance, only about "stance yo." Need not apply here.

You can’t possibly be serious. Lemme guess, you think BC Racing is an American company too...

No idea where BC is. However, I know for a fact that Feal Suspension is an American company based in CA.

Fortune Auto is an American company using parts from all over the world to assemble them in this country, test them in this country, but no one cared for new V1 stuff a year ago when I had a chance to have some custom made. Hopefully the Feal guy that owns a V1 or somehow cares about a V1 will help. Belltech/ KW should not be the only game in town.

Coilovers came in today. Went with a true coilover setup in the rear. Also installing creative steel lower control arms. Looking forward to install.

Interesting choice with the true coilovers out back. I'm curious what your results are with that change. I would imagine it would also benefit from a rear strut brace since those stamped shock mounts weren't originally intended to support the car.
