Excelerate Performance is proud to announce the release of a new coilover line for the Acura lineup. We have worked closely with ISC suspension to design coilovers for the Acura TL (2nd, 3rd and 4th gen), TSX (1st and 2nd gen), RSX, and NSX. We have become the exclusive distributor in North America for the Acura models, thus making them XLR8 coilovers manufactured by ISC. So what are ISC coilovers and what are the benefits?

The ISC N1 Coilover is an affordable high performance damper system which offers excellent performance and high quality at a reasonable price. ISC offers suspension solutions for various auto manufacturers including BMW, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, & more! But we are going to focus only on the Acura lineup.

All coilover setups come with a 12 month warranty to put your mind at ease; if the product fails in any way in the first 12 months we will pay all postage, labor and parts costs to fix the issue, and in minimal time. If our product fails after that initial 12 month period we will replace the product at trade price!!

The N1 coilover can be lowered approximately 3 inches lower then standard ride height. The spring rates are set up specifically to suit your car and therefore will improve handling and stability dramatically. We can make packages for track/rally/drag and of course street. Our lineup will specifically be designed towards the street/sport customer. However, to offer more flexibility we will offer the option for custom spring rates at no extra charge. This will require extra time but not for this initial stocking order.

So, we will be submitting our initial stocking order for these coilovers in the next few weeks. Those who participate in this Groupbuy will receive a significant discount for being part of the first shipment, which will take 4-6 weeks to arrive. These coilovers list out for $1250 for the set. We will be selling them for $950 plus shipping after the initial stocking order. But in order to get our first stocking order in we want to offer an introductory price of $850 shipped to the cont 48 US. This saves the average customer about $150. If you are interested please create a list.

I would like to get at least 10 people on this first batch. I have to order at least 20 sets so half would be good. Of course there can be more than 10 or 20. And anyone who joins now gets the sales price. Once I get a list I will require a deposit of $200 the week after. The final payment will be due the week the parts arrive, which is 1-2 months from the date of order. So let's set a date for the list to be compiled by of Tuesday, January 24th. Deposits of $200 will need to be in by Tuesday, January 31st.

Deposits will need to be made to excelerate@sbcglobal.net via Paypal and you will need to include your vehicle info (year, make, model) and desired spring rates (Street Comfort, Street/Sport or Track/Race). We recommend the Street/Sport. This is what 80-90% of customers order.

Feel free to ask any questions too.

Anyone else jump on this? I thought it wasn't going to go through at first, but then I stumbled on the same thread in the TL forums and sent payment last night.

 

I'm interested to know how their Street Comfort compares to like say, Tein's Comfort Sport.

I like a comfy ride

 

I am very intrigued by these coilovers...if i hadnt just bought coilovers I think I would have seriously considered these. Any plans on making STI or EVO X applications?

 

is that a hint for your next car?!

 

I believe there are already some Subie applications... my buddy has these on his 2002 WRX.

 

this is why he is getting aggressive fitment for TSX so after his lease is up he can already have wheels for STI or EVO

 

oh man. totally missed the group buy =(

 

lol I don't think it ever started

We sold a number of these for the 3G and 4G TL. If you're still interested PM me so we can work something out. I will still offer a discounted price but it won't be as low as the GB price.

 

Wow, I have some interest in these. I just got some new 18s and this will compliment my ride.

 

Got my coilovers in yesterday. Hope to get them installed on Sunday.

 

This look nice, what spring rates did you get? Let us know how it rides and how solid they feel........

 

Little teasers for now. I'll take better pictures this weekend.

They feel real solid, no noises or anything. I got the street/comfort ones. Right now the dampening is set at the stiffest setting for the front and back and it's not bad at all. I'll tweak it a little until I find a setting I like.

Just need to get new wheels now

 

That looks great and I love your car color choice

 

some spacers will make it really clean

 

Thanks for the feedback.

FYI, these are good in stock and ready to ship.

1. will these work on my 2012 TSX wagon?
2. What is the minimum drop?

Looking forward to purchasing these over the summer, they look sweet

 

wagon has a different rear, so they may "work" but the spring rates will definitely be off

 

Wagon does not have a different rear. I thought that I already cleared this up. nobody makes a wagon specific coilover for the 2G. Still, a bona fide clarification from XLR8 would be good about their kits.

 

i apologize, thats not what i meant, i don't mean fitment wise. i meant in terms of weight distribution, which is why i said they would fit, but the spring rates should be adjusted to account for the difference. PPower, what are you dropped on again?

 

Yes. Minimum drop is typically an inch on most chassis.

Well since you can pre-load the spring and change the damping it will work fine. Wagon owners will just want to increase the damping, similar to what TEIN recommends on the 4th gen TL coilover. They use the same coilover for the FWD and AWD but recommend the SS for the AWD so you can adjust the damping to accommodate for the extra weight.

 

This is a good point. The preload never even occurred to me, that's definitely a solution. I didn't think damping settings alone are enough, but I guess it also depends on what rates you pick for the rears.

 

Sorry, I hadn't been subscribed to this. I'm on Tein SS.

this is why I chose the Tein and why I recommended in the wagon lowering thread to NOT use just springs. Tein non-adjustable coilovers are compatible with wagons as are H&R and KW, so I feel like having height adjustment is more important than the damping. Still, I'd prefer having the ability to adjust damping over not.

 

looks real nice!! what bumpers you have??
