APR Roll-Control Coilover Systems!



Product Page

The APR Roll-Control Coilover System offers a wide range of adjustment to fully customize your vehicle's suspension setup! The system comes complete with front and rear struts and dampers, both of which have 32-points of dampening adjustment and a full range of height and preload adjustment. The fully threaded adjustable shock bodies allow for easy height adjustments without altering spring preload and travel. The front struts include camber plates that allow for dialing in your vehicle's otherwise non-adjustable front camber. In total, the system is a comprehensive upgrade that puts you fully in control to setup your vehicle for street, track, or show, all in one complete package!

Suspension is often one of the first items enthusiasts tackle on their vehicle. From the factory, vehicle ride heights are intentionally placed extremely high which often leaves the show-room floor vehicles looking goofy compared to their original design intent. This high center of gravity and overly soft setup often leaves much to be desired when it comes to handling performance. With our coilover suspension system, this is eliminated. The system is fully height adjustable in the front and rear with adjustable shock bodies, allowing you to perfectly balance the height and damping to your designed specs.

For the track:
Track enthusiasts can corner balance the vehicle for better grip and handling with a lower center of gravity. The dampening adjustments allow you to stiffen up the shocks too perfectly match your ride height and track conditions, and the camber plates let you be aggressive to promote better turn in and handling in the most demanding situations.

For the street:
Every day driving is dramatically different than the track, and this system allows you to balance, comfort, looks, handling, and tire wear thought height, damping, and camber adjustments. Many will find they prefer a slightly higher daily height, softer dampening, and more neutral camber adjustment. That's all possible with this system thanks to the extreme amount of adjustment at your fingertips!

For the show:
Lowering for a show often means going to the extremes in ride height and camber often to levels many would not consider practical for every day driving. While excessively lowering the vehicle and dialing in high levels of negative camber can negatively impact performance, it does turn heads and can look great for photos or at a show. Airbags typically give you this ability with ease, but leave a lot to be desired when it comes to daily driving or driving on the track. Our system lets you dial in the suspension for a show or photoshoot while retaining the ability to return to a practical setup for the street, or an aggressive setup for the track! It's the best of all three worlds!

If APR had been willing to disclose the spring rates when I called them last month, I would’ve ordered these when they were on sale…

Apparently it was top-secret at the time… 👀 🤐

Different (previous gen) RC Coilovers I’m referring to:

They're still in-stock at FCP euro if you're interested.

I got a set of these, planning to install this weekend.

Spring rates on the Eibach APR coils are 154-250lbs front & 275lbs rear.

Not sure where they came up with the spring rates for the new coils. 448 lbs/in front, 280 lbs/in rear is really a step in the wrong direction for anything competitive.

Yes and no:

The front does all the heavy lifting on these cars. Our powertrain is in FRONT of the front axle line. Big no-no for performance engineering, but somehow it works on this platform.

EQT's Balance Line coils did a similar move: 8-9kg front springs and 5kg rear springs initially. I believe they've changed spring rates since then. Front is still way stiffer.

Weight spread is about 60/40 F/R on these cars, so there is a lot to be said for stiffer front springs.

Having tracked our shop car all of last year, the front was definitely taking the blunt of the punishment... 😎 💪

Great point! I tend to only focus on AutoX and heavy rotation over Track performance. You’re right these cars have a very heavy front end that could justify the heavy front spring. I (personally) would have liked to have seen a higher rear rate to go with a 448lbs/in front spring.

I'd want a high rear rate for track too. Motion ratio is much lower in the rear, most of the coilovers on the market are intended for street driving and are geared towards understeer.
