What did they run you?

Ive been looking at Annex for my FA5. How are the street manors vs stock? Mine is original so Id imagine anything is better then what it is currently at.

@CDOES their FastRoad Pro ride amazing on the street, confident you’d be very happy with them as an upgrade to the stock shocks and springs. The car will feel way sportier but not too stiff or harsh.

@@CDOES Just get some Ohlins. Similar pricepoint but superior.

⁠​⁠@@RollingRoadEFIOhlins makes coilovers for the FD2 Type R, but not for USDM 8th gen Si

I do want to clarify that many of the internals are designed and manufactured by us. But we are very transparent that we will use top hats and brackets from overseas manufacturers when we can to bring high end damper tech to the masses.

We would love to build your suspension! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Very well said Fernando. I might need to borrow this terminology on a future video!

Thanks for your support!

Thanks Josh!

I second this. I would be interested in inverted for DC5

This is on our road map for Q1 or Q2 of 2024! Total ground up approach like we did with the GRC. @@shawnendel

@@AnnexSuspensionGroup let me know if you need a product tester

Appreciate it - there are a handful of local DC5 / EP testers that have been waiting for us. @@shawnendel

I think this is debatable. Carefully valved inverted is quite nice too. Ohlins R&T is a good example of this.

I think part of the confusion is that most people's experience with mono are Bilstein and they compare them to adjustable Konis. The Bilsteins just transmits so much more of the road into the cabin thanks to the high air pressure that they typically utilize. I've seen much improved rides on Bilstein's simply by lowering the charged air pressure. The twin tube Konis option have much slower air pressure and a lot of times if you look at how they handle bumps they take a lot of the edge off a lot of the small stuff, but when you really get them moving they ramp up pretty hard. Unfortunately, the tropes from BMW owners have kind of been misleading as to creating these rules of mono versus twin. I Love how many companies are out there now sharing information. I think the big negative of an inverted monotube is just the higher maintenance associated with it but you get it back in strength and lightening the stress seen by the shaft which I'm sure of many of us have seen bend. It seems like a good option for McPherson cars especially since the top nut can be quite large since you wouldn't be eating up space within the cylinder if you were to run a larger diameter shaft. I'm trying to wrap my head around if it is less spring away as well since a greater portion of the weight will now be directly affixed to the car. Annexes is really cool because they take knowledge and theory and then go test it and learn. It's kind of cool to have anl Shockworks-esque shop stateside.

About $225 USD bad! But I think the UK guys can make the dollar look easy =P

As much as I love Alfas we probably won't be doing any 105 or 116 suspension unless a bunch of people start emailing us.

We can build these for the 9th gen! Please get in touch =)

@AnnexSuspensionGroup Yes! Will do soon. Thank you.

just going to add more cost to an already expensive car, people also complain so much about superstrut

I don't think this is black or white - if you increase the shaft diameter or the bushing size, a traditional shock rod may be just fine. But it's worth noting that normal GR Corollas have a conventional shock rod but a Morizo has inverted monotube =)

There is no way to escape innuendo in the shock absorber industry it seems.
