Product Information

Full details

The ST Suspension ST-XTA Plus 3 Coilover Kit is designed for performance enthusiasts and experienced users looking to precisely tune their road-going car's suspension for optimal handling and a customized ride height. Its key benefit is the comprehensive 3-way adjustability, allowing fine-tuning of rebound and both high and low-speed compression damping, alongside independent height and camber adjustment. A caveat is that its advanced adjustability requires a good understanding of suspension dynamics for optimal results.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of 3-way adjustable coilovers?

3-way adjustability allows for independent tuning of rebound, and both high and low-speed compression damping. This offers a much higher degree of control over the vehicle's handling characteristics, allowing for precise tuning for different driving conditions and preferences.

Can I adjust the camber with this kit?

Yes, the ST-XTA Plus 3 kit includes aluminum camber adjustable Unibal-top mounts, allowing you to precisely adjust camber for optimal tire contact and performance.

What is the typical lowering range for this kit?

The lowering range varies by application but typically falls between 10mm and 85mm. For specific vehicles like the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ, the range is detailed in the product listing and may vary slightly between front and rear.

Is this kit suitable for daily driving?

While designed for performance, the kit can be tuned for daily driving by softening the damping settings. However, it offers a firmer ride than stock suspension and is best suited for performance-oriented users.

How many clicks of adjustment are available?

The kit offers approximately 16 clicks of rebound adjustment and 24 clicks each for high and low-speed compression damping.

Do I need to replace my existing top mounts?

No, this kit includes new, adjustable top mounts (Unibal-type) that replace your factory ones.

What does 'factory-configured for fast-road use' mean?

It means the coilovers come with a default damping setting that is optimized for spirited driving on public roads, providing a good balance of performance and stability as a starting point for further adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Clunking or rattling noises

Check that all mounting bolts are torqued to specification. Ensure the spring perches are seated correctly and that no lines or components are contacting the suspension. Verify top mount hardware is secure.

Uneven ride height

Confirm that the spring perches are adjusted to the same height on both sides of the axle. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface when measuring. Re-check alignment after adjustments.

Harsh ride or poor damping

Review the damping adjustments. Ensure rebound and compression settings are not excessively stiff. Verify springs are correctly installed and not binding. A professional suspension check may be required.

Difficulty adjusting damping knobs

Ensure the adjustment knobs are clean and free of debris. Try gently rotating them back and forth. If the issue persists, contact customer support as the internal mechanism may be obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extensive 3-way damping adjustability for precise tuning.
  • Adjustable camber plates allow for performance alignment optimization.
  • Significant ride height adjustability for a customized stance.
  • High-quality construction with corrosion resistance.
  • Designed to retain adequate suspension travel for comfortable damping.

Cons

  • Requires advanced knowledge for optimal adjustment.
  • May result in a firmer ride compared to stock suspension.
  • Installation can be complex and may require specialized tools.
  • Can be overkill for users seeking only mild lowering.
  • Setting up all adjustable parameters can be time-consuming.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the ST-XTA Plus 3 kit should be performed by a qualified mechanic. Proper setting of ride height, damping, and camber requires specialized knowledge and tools. Always ensure the vehicle is properly supported and safety procedures are followed. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is mandatory.

Compatibility: This specific kit is designed for the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ. Always verify the MPN (e.g., 1820258804) against your vehicle's specifications to ensure correct fitment, as different part numbers may exist for minor variations in lowering or specific chassis.

Care: To maintain the longevity of the coilovers, regular cleaning is recommended. Wash the shock bodies, springs, and adjustment collars with mild soap and water to remove dirt and road salt. Ensure the threaded collars move freely; if stiffness is noted, clean and apply a light silicone lubricant. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers directly on the components.
