RE-SPEED Coil over kits

First of all is Re-Speed still running?

I noticed that the Re-Speed street coil over kit for the rear came with springs. Would it be possible to use racing beat springs instead of the ones included? Has anyone done this? And would it be possible to use RBs for the front coil over kit as well?

Thanks

The rear re speed coils are larger in diameter. Racing beat rear springs won't fit over the adjuster sleeve. Never used re speed coil over fronts. Sorry.

Yep, use the springs that are included with the kit. I run 275 front/150 rear, which works great for daily driving/autocross.

good luck getting in contact with them or actually getting your parts if you do. After Billy sold RESpeed the company has gone down hill
