    Talking SuperMiata Tecna coilovers, finally!

    After nearly 10yrs(iirc) in the making, SuperMiata's "budget/daily/comfort" coilovers, Tecna, is finally going to be available soon! From another forum:

    -Tecna, around $1350
    -Xida, around $2500
    -Tecna a bit longer than Xida, so optimized for 5" and above pinch weld heights
    -Tecna & Xida ride very similar with softest spring rates and Xidas on softest damping setting. That was one main goal for Tecna.
    -Tecna lack the stiffer damping range that Xidas can provide. So Tecna great for street and occasional auto-x or HPDE. Tecna are not race shocks nor do we recommend them for anyone seeking maximum performance in a competition environment. That's what Xidas are for.
    -Tecna are about the same weight as OEM with springs. Tecna are steel with 2.5" springs, Xida are aluminum with 60mm Swift springs. Xida are way lighter.
    -Tecna will have a 10 year warranty, no service required. Xida are 3 year warranty and typically require service every 2-5 years depending on use profile.
    -Xida have the widest damping range of any NA/NB shock on the market, by a good margin. Tecna have a much narrower damping adjustment range roughly equivalent to 20-15 clicks on Xida (20-0 clicks).
    -Tecnas will only be offered with 6/4kg springs, high rate helpers and our NB mounts, fully assembled. No spring rate or mount options.

    These are going to be a 'game changer', IMHO, and looking forward to hearing people's feedback on them. Who here is getting a set? Unfortunately my setup demands Xida Race(or similar spec'd) coilovers, otherwise I'd be all over them.
