@Bill from Hahn RaceCraft what belt tension do you aim for when you set your tension on lowered vehicules?
This is a bit of a grey area, in that I don't have an actual specification to share. Not that I am being coy, mind you...it's just that after a lifetime of being around belt- and chain-driven machines, this has become more of an aptitude than anything I can readily define. I don't use any type of instrument; I go by the feel of belt or chain deflection in the middle of the available span, and my gut instincts about the task at hand (power level, suspension movement if any, etc.). While it has worked well for me for years, it is admittedly difficult to pass this knowledge along.

A quick note on coloration of the coilover sets: in production, all the springs will be silver, not a mixture of silver and black as you see in the pics of our prototype system on this thread.

Glad I've got a fast gray model

Any chance you wanna just sell the spherical mounts for people who already have QA1s?

I'm sure he will...only $799

Pft... hahn is not that money grubbing!

It's not impossible, but as you might imagine, our current production run of parts which support the spherical bolt-in concept are all earmarked for the coilover kits folks are buying now. Once we are ahead of demand enough to have some breathing room, I can examine this possibility in more detail.

Thanks for the reply. So that begs the next question. Could they be shipped out pre-set to factory ride height? Understand that it would still be an approximate but this would really make life easier for those of us wanting to stay stock height.
I have the same issues as others with driveway/roadway approaches in my neck of the woods and even 3/4" will make things more difficult.JD
That's awesome and really appreciate the excellent feedback and service. My order was already placed yesterday. What would be the best way to request stock height setup? Thanks again!

Thanks for the clarification on the spring color. Silver works for me on my base titanium.

I bet that to achieve the stock height your just going to adjust the spring tightness. (Preload I believe it's called). This will raise it up. When you get the correct spring rate like Hahn has provided it's easy to fine tune the details. -
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all who have stepped up to purchase this new coilover system. We will begin shipping next week to those of you who have not opted for a Maggie Valley delivery and/or installation.
At this time, we have effectively met our sales volume goal for this SlingshotInfo Forum price special, a mere one day into offering this new system. I am very impressed and thankful for this support, as well as the power of this forum in helping rally that support. It's quite exciting to be sharing this new option with you all, and I look very forward to the pleased reactions I expect you'll all have once these are installed!

You're very welcome, and thank you too! If you would not mind, please just send an email with your request for stock height setup to sales@hahnracecraft.com, where my fulfillment folks and I can add it to your order.

We will be cutting it close, but this may be able to happen. We could be shipping as soon as Monday May 23, which would put them in transit to you and based on your location should take about four days on UPS Ground. If they don't get out to you until Tuesday, we'll be in touch to see if you wish to add expedited shipping so as to receive the order by the weekend. Thank you for your order

Awesome Bill. Will send an email over. Cannot wait to get these on.

Attempted to order, discount info, "slingshotinfo" did not work.

Hey Bill, I created a thread for you for your new coilovers on The Dark Side. There is no reference to this forum & I did not divulge the discount code you gave us here.
Here's a link to that thread:

If you read Bill's post #73 above it looks like he has met his goal for the offer.
This was in his second post in this thread: "This is an introductory special price, and fair warning: it may not last long. If you want this price, I suggest you move quickly."

Emailed you to set for stock height. Need to check them against my Paramount fender before I lower them. Really looking forward to getting these on Labor Day weekend
Want to be able to ride there with them already installed
