Renick Performance CKS coilovers

Does anyone have these on their car?

Who makes the dampers? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Yeah, really no options under 5k unless KW gets off their ass and makes club sports for these cars.

Proparts will build these:

https://propartsusa.com/collections/...aro-ss-1le-zl1

Still need stiffer springs tho. Maybe an SS 1LE spring set would pair well.

The Renicks seem like a good value because of the included camber plates. Then again, that's why BCs seem like a good value and well, they aren't if you race unless you are a no0b.

Truechoice says they are working on koni-based double adjustable coilovers, possibly available Q1 19. If they undercut ProParts they may be the ticket.

Trying real hard to spend less than 3K for a full, no-bs racing shock and spring solution with camber plates...

Thanks and please keep updating the info for those of us interested in this subject. The Proparts looks interesting.

very tempting. that's how the old koni's used to fit in cavalier strut bodies. 2600$ though is up there. that's a set of KWv3's basically.

I see the price as reasonable for a low volume, high labor mod like that. They have a great reputation with nationals competitive SCCA soloists.

The fact that they include dyno graphs with each damper means they nut up or shut up.

We need someone to kick in some volume production quality dampers tho. I'd drop 3K in a heartbeat if I knew of a set of quality, aggressively valved coilovers with a real damping range, OTS hyperco or swift springs and camber plates.

Again, the Renicks seem to fill the bill, but I ain't no pioneer. They get all the arrows
