Coilovers from Airtekk released

Quadzilla · Jun 26, 2024

Appears Airtekk has released coilovers. I'm not really familiar with the brand and the pricing seems a little too good to be true but maybe someone else has had first-hand experience with the brand.

The rear lower shock mount is the same as the QA1/Viking shocks I have tried many times to get rid of the urethane bushing noise. Price wise they're where I would expect a set of coil overs to come in. Though they really need a dual rate spring.

Also the front strut mounts look to have spherical bearings. While this is a more heavy duty type mount than the OEM hybrid rubber, there will be more NVH for sure.

What 'we' really need is a drop in Magnaride with an adjustable controller. If it wouldn't cost $5k+ (very low ballpark figure btw) I might spend the time to try to find someone who could build such a thing. I honestly think we need to just hammer on KW to sell just the rear shocks. It'd help a ton with the addition of the Eibach springs. I've built my own rubber mounts in the past but the QA1/Vikings and these just don't have enough meat on that lower hole to make a rubber mount. KW is the only one to have put a 1.25 to 1.5 inch lower loop on there in order to have enough room for a rubber mount.
I agree that upper bearing will make some noise about 1000 miles later. A lot of dust gets up to that strut mount.

Wow is this another possible alternative to the only game in town KWV3 $3200+ Coilovers? and only $1100?? ?

Compression adjustment only, going to ride harsh as hell with those top hats and I'm betting it's made to the same quality as some other coilovers I've had in the past from Taiwan which needed rebuilds after only 20k miles (BC racing junk)

You get what you pay for

Single rate 3 inch coils will never satisfy this vehicle. The rears are 1000lb springs. Thankfully eibach made dual rate ~800lb / ~1100 lb rears. And the dual rate fronts. Which could use to be about 25 lbs lighter still. I'll give them credit (airtekk) at least they put something out there. If you wanted to slam the hell out of this car they'd be the ticket.

They (Airtekk) also has a full air suspension setup as well as Universal Air and FV Suspension but I would not go that route with this car. Been there, done that.

I gotta say I've been pretty content with my Eibach GT Springs, Sway bars and the Koni rear shocks. I feel I have it all dialed in pretty good now. The only thing I think that feels lacking on occasion with certain road conditions is the front now needs a bit of dampening. If only one of these shock companies would just make a matched set front and rear for this vehicle.

Agree Brian. The Eibach Progressive GT Springs and Sway bars really work well on the Mach-E to tame the harshness and improve the handling. Koni rear shocks tame the bounce if your road conditions are such you get it. I also agree that front struts to match those rear shocks would be nice and while It is possible to modify some Koni's to make that happen, I'm not going to start welding brackets on the strut housings to make it work. I actually have had two members let me know they would not mind helping with the welding part of it but I'm done with the suspension of now.....

Low price doesn't always mean bad quality. I put 600 dollar Tein endurapro plus shocks in my tesla model Y. 10 clicks up front 12 in the rear and I'm absolutely delighted with the ride quality. My Ford Mustang mach-e GT needs help....it's even worse than the Model Y was with the stock shocks. I want to do something to fix the ford, but I can't quite stomach the costs of the KW setup. I am very interested in trying these and the reviews I've seen for other cars are good.

What is NVH? What advantage do coil overs like this offer? Is this something the average driver like me might be interested in?

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness. The stock suspension on a non-Magneride car is rather harsh, so it transmits a lot of noise into the car. Whether you would be interested depends on how you personally view the car’s dynamics. ??

Thanks! I have a lot to learn.
