Are you sure? Last I talked to them, they were only selling the K Sport stuff. I have a customer looking for suspension and wanted to sell him the Trak Pro kit as that is what is on my car and I feel they handle great. I was told they no longer do the Trak Pro and now offer K Sport.

If that is not the case that would be great news.

Anyone else's making noises? I've had the stage 2's a few years now and lately when I hit a bump, the rears makes a cracking type of noise up towards the top. Most notable on the pass. side. All street use with maybe 5K miles total. All bushings were replaced back in 08. Had my shop look at it and they confirmed bushings are OK and that the sound was coming from the coilovers. Wondering how safe it is to continue driving and how much life they have left.

Did u use the oem film that goes between the upper coilover mount and the shock tower of the car?

Ive had mine for a few years and put some decent track miles on them. No alarming noises as of yet.

Just ordered a set of 2's. 10k front 8k rear.

Seems like I have some work to do to get these on, but hopefully all will go well.

Nice, its good to hear someone finally got intouch with pettit .

I personally am going to just order some 12k swift springs for the rear for now and leave the original 12k springs up front. If anyone knows the dimensions of the track pro springs, please do share.

The last time Cam and I spoke (this spring): he still sells and repairs them even though they are not on the web site. Some parts are for racers who do not mind a little work or modification to install them. These are hidden and not for the perfectionists!

OK, just installed my new stage 2 setup last night. I'll have pics tonight or tomorrow. Installation was pretty easy, only took 3 1/2 hours with a friend.

The set I got was low, like super low. I actually had to lift them up about an 1 1/2" in the rear and 1" up front.

As far as handling, the car feels awesome.

Do they stiffen/soften when the adjustment **** is turned clockwise or counterclockwise? I haven't played with the settings for a long time and now it feels like turning the adjustment **** doesn't much difference.

My set is only 2 years old and I can feel the difference when turning clockwise from fully soft (CC).

Just pulled them off and no, the film was not on them, front or rear. Upon closer inspection I found that the locking collars were not tight on the rear pass side. Everything else seems normal. Thanks for the suggestion!

Let us know if it cures the problem.

Can someone post the track pro spring dimensions? I want to order some swift springs but cant find the sizes. Im not by the car to physically measure them and pettit does respond to my emails/calls.

Track Pro spring size:
190mm length
60mm and 70mm ID

I think it was mentioned before, but most known spring companies (swift) dont have offset ID sizes. I personally am going to go with 65mm top/bottom and hope it all seats well. Worst case, ill machine a new perch.

Installed new 12K springs from Pettit. Cam was nice enough to send them to me.


I should note that my original springs were 200mm in length. The new springs (track pro springs, black in color vs red) are now 190mm. Thats 1 cm lower for those of you looking to lower the car more. I personally am happy at 25.5inch ride height.

With 12k front/12k rear the car feels MUCH better. Turn in is more crisp, effortless and my understeer seems have been reduced greatly. This setup is more for experienced drivers looking for neutral/slight off throttle oversteer chassis which I know will yield faster track times. Just my .02cents

Anymore updates on these? I really like them after reading the whole thread. My only concern is the adjustment ***** not working after a while. Thanks!
