SCALE - INNOVATIVE SERIES

Build to Order: 1-3 weeks

The Innovative Series is the best choice to keep the comfort on a car driven every day. This suspension system provides performance without sacrificing comfort; it provides everything you need to enjoy driving your car.

Best-seller version, the regular application is designed to allow you to set the ride height from OEM to approximately 3 inch lowered (tire inside of the fender on most application).

SUSPENSION DETAILS

This coilover suspension upgrade is designed to achieve a perfect balance of street comfort and increased performance. This suspension system allows you to easily adjust your ride height while improving handling performance of your car.

The patented scaled system design allows easier and more precise adjustment and ensures equal height on each corner. Each shock is equipped with 24 levels of dampening adjustment to fine-tune the valving efficiency.

All coilover shocks are handcrafted and assembled to your specs at SCALE facilities.

This model front Macpherson configuration comes with adjustable camber plate front top mounts to set your desired camber specs and avoid excessive tire wear. We recommend using the gravitational bearing option to reduce the effort of the camber plate.

On this rear multilink configuration, the shock have no direct impact on wheel alignment so the car only has OEM alignment adjustment. If you need more adjustments, you can check for aftermarket adjustable control arms.

The SCALE mono-tube shock absorber are using high-quality CNC piston valves, synthetic oil and high-pressure nitrogen gas contained within one tube.

SUSPENSION HEIGHT

Standard Version (0" to 3")
The regular version is the mostly used configuration. It is designed to gives approximately 3 inch of adjustment range from stock ride height.

In default configuration, the spring rate used is the best to keep a close to OEM comfort level while improving handling performance and reducing suspension travel. It can also be customized with different spring rate for spirited driving or occasional track use. Regular version is normally designed to reach up to a tire to fender fitment at minimum ride height setting.

• Comfort Level: 5 out of 5
• Ride Height: Mild (0" to 3")

Low Version (1" to 4")
The low version is ideal for more tight fitment and larger wheels. The 15-20% stiffer spring rate used significantly reduce the suspension travel to prevent rubbing issues when you plan to ride pretty low, tuck the tires or use aggressive offset where the wheel poke out of the fender. It’s still comfortable for street use but certainly feels a bit sportier.

The low version use components to give 1 to 1.5 extra inch of drop compared to the regular version of the same application. This means the tire can be partially hidden into the fender at lowest setting but will stay 1-1.5 inch lower than factory ride height when adjusted at highest setting.

• Comfort Level: 4 out of 5
• Ride Height: Aggressive (1" to 4")

SUSPENSION OPTIONS

Stainless Hardware Upgrade
This upgrade replace all the normally used steel hardware (nuts, bolt and studs) for stainless steel parts to prevent rust or potential seizure when the suspension will stay on the car during winter. It also prevent tarnished hardware on show cars or suspension installed in moist or corrosive environment.

Camber Plates
Front camber plate is included. It allow to easily adjust front camber back to manufacturer specification after lowering your car or add more camber if your wheel specs cause minor rubbing issues. Adjustment range vary depending of the design used for each application.

Gravitational Bearing
The camber plate pillow ball is used by most coilover brand but is more designed for axial movement than rotation so the gravitational bearing option take care of the rotation when turning the wheels to avoid any spring noise even if the camber plates become harder to move after years of use. It is really recommended for customer planning to keep their coilover installed during winter.

Lock Ring Color
As our suspension are using black threaded shock body, spring and upper/lower mounts, the black lock ring option gives to your coilover a more sleeper / “factory” look. This option is automatically included for free with custom spring color as our normally used dark blue rings don’t match as well as black with custom spring color.

Swift Springs*
Made in Japan with the best alloy and manufacturing process to ensure precision, consistency and durability (superior rust resistance), these springs are mainly use on racing applications for all their features but are also now used on many street setup due to their large range of spring length and rates. This option can be considered for occasional track use, when the fitment or version require specific rates/length only offered by swift or simply if you want to add a plus value to your suspension and ensure your suspension will look and feel like new for years. ***Please contact us if you would like to add this option to your suspension.***

Custom Spring Rate*
Custom spring rate are always possible and free of charge on any application that use linear springs to fit different needs. Spring rates and length vary depending on the application, version and SCALE spring inventory/productions. We strongly recommend to contact our sales or tech team before placing and order with this option selected to help you figure the needed rate and make sure it’s possible without having to go with swift upgrade. ***Please contact us if you would like to add this option to your suspension.***

Custom Spring Color*
Custom spring color allow you to personalize your suspension while giving an additional protection to the spring by adding an extra coat of powder coating paint. You can select between our suggested colors or ask us for custom color to match other accent on your car. Please note that this option automatically add 1-1.5 week to the manufacturing/assembling delay due to the fact that springs are coated on order between other coating processes from the scheduled productions. ***Please contact us if you would like to add this option to your suspension.***
