Stuart, FL – January 14, 2025 – SLRspeed, a leader in innovative suspension solutions for drifting, proudly announces the launch of its new Drift Spec Coilovers. Engineered specifically for the drifting environment, these coilovers deliver unmatched performance, precision, and control for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Currently available for over 30 popular platforms—including BMW E36, E46, Cadillac XLR, Nissan 350Z and 370Z, Miata, Corvette C5 and C6, S13 180SX, S14 240SX, G35, G37, RX-7 FC and FD, Porsche 718, and more—SLRspeed’s Drift Spec Coilovers redefine what drivers can expect from their suspension systems.
A Legacy of Innovation in Drifting and Suspension
SLRspeed’s journey into suspension design is backed by nearly two decades of pioneering advancements in drifting technology. Since 2006, SLR has been at the forefront of angle kit development, revolutionizing steering geometry for BMWs and beyond. In 2015, the company expanded into coilover development with its daughter company, VVK, which launched the first- ever Mercedes R230 coilover conversions on the market.
The result of this extensive experience is the new Drift Spec Coilovers—a perfect fusion of affordability, durability, and superior forward grip tailored to the drifting environment. These coilovers reflect SLR’s deep understanding of what drivers need, offering unmatched balance and performance for sideways action and grip recovery.
Designed Specifically for Drifting
Unlike generic coilovers that cater to a mix of street and track use, SLRspeed’s Drift Spec Coilovers are purpose-built for drifting:
- Drift-Specific Spring Rates: Optimized for precise handling and forward grip. Front and rear rates are carefully balanced to provide better transition control and forward acceleration out of corners.
- Superior Dampening: 32-way adjustable dampers fine-tuned for drifting, ensuring excellent rebound and compression dynamics.
- Built to Last: Durable construction designed to withstand the high-stress demands of competitive drifting.
Shane Allen, COO and Head of Marketing at SLRspeed, said, “With VVK’s pedigree in coilover innovation and SLR’s legacy in angle kits, we’ve created a product that embodies everything we know about drifting. Our Drift Spec Coilovers are engineered for drivers who demand performance and reliability without breaking the bank.”
