Saturn Ion enthusiasts constantly tell us that they currently suffer the pain of not being able to find a true engineered adjustable suspension solution at a reasonable price for a car that begs to be driven hard. In 2005, when we built the Ion Redline for GM, we tested every spring available for the car. For the past 18 months, we have continued to test suspension products on our Ion. Finally, Gravana is announcing the release of the new B+G Coil-Overs for the Saturn Ion. This is the ultimate coil-over system for the Ion Redline, Ion Quad Coupe and Ion Sedan. Hands-Down! Designed for street and track use, B+G Coil-Overs offer the best of both worlds in terms of ride quality and performance. Designed in the USA and manufactured in Europe by B+G exclusively for Gravana, this system is superior to anything else on the market!
Finally, a complete engineered coil-over suspension solution that offers performance AND value is available from Gravana! Introducing, the B+G Coilover System!
- Double Ride Height Adjustability
- 32-Level Damping Adjustability
- High Quality European Design
- Anodized Threaded Steel Bodies and Lower Brackets
- 6061 T6 Aluminum Components
- Works with Optional Adjustable Pillowball Camber Plates
- Revalvable & Rebuildable
- Lifetime Warranty! (Yeah, that's forever!)
Most coil-overs force you to lower the spring perch to adjust height, which reduces the shock travel and performance. The B+G Coil-Overs allow you to lower the car without reducing the shock performance. How? Each shock body is fully-threaded for precise ride height and weight transfer, and inserts into threaded steel lower brackets. Thus, the stroke of the shock rod does not change. Additionally, the B+G coil-over has billet adjustable spring perches which can be lowered, giving these Coil-Overs Double Ride Height Adjustability. This separate height adjustability via spring perches allows you to fine-tune your stance and ride or even slam the car for shows. For those who have been torn trying to figure out which suspension is best, Gravana has the Answer! The shock bodies, perches and brackets are all anodized steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance. Component pieces are made from 6061 T6 aluminum alloy for a combination of strength and light weight.
Each shock body houses a Monotube Gas Charged damper for quick response and steering control without loss of performance during high stress use. Unlike twin-tube dampers that experience oil-foaming, the monotube design provides a reliable and consistent level of damping force. Each shock incorporates 32 levels of bump & rebound damping adjustment (16 clicks adjusting both compression & rebound simultaneously on each click), allowing you to dial in the best combination of rebound and compression for any driving environment. In our testing, click settings 1-5 are excellent for most street environments. 6-9 are for the more aggressive drivers, looking for the competitive edge yet still street friendly. 10-12 is for the driver who wants track-level performance for that smooth mountain road or even Autocross. Levels 13-16 are for those of us who like to wake up on a Saturday morning, bypass breakfast and coffee, and load our helmets in the car for a day at the track. Most people will end up in the 4-12 range to achieve the ultimate combination of comfort and performance for daily driving!
The coil springs included in the kit are specifically designed to work with the Gravana/B+G Coil-Overs to provide the best combination of performance and ride quality in an effort to provide you with a finely-tuned coil-over suspension system. Similar to GTO and BMW applications, the rear set-up includes an adjustable shock, with a separate height-adjustable spring and perch kit. As a policy set forth by B+G, we do not publish spring rates until the product is released for obvious reasons. Higher and lower rate springs will be available for those who want to fine-tune your race set-up. Once you have tested the system, email us your rate requests and we will gladly accomodate. For the serious competitor, the shock bodies can be custom valved to your specifications. There is no additional charge if the shocks are valved at the factory via special order. We can also re-valve your existing shock bodies, which is what most people want. Run them as-is for a few sessions and then have us make adjustments from there. The cost varies depending on the changes required. As with all special orders, custom-valved orders must be pre-paid. As with most racing products, custom valved bodies are not returnable except under warranty. Ride height will range from 0" - 3.0" and can vary slightly from car to car.
The B+G Coil-Over System is a direct bolt-in for all Saturn Ion models. Pillow Ball Camber Plate Top Mounts (Shown here) will be available separately subsequent to the release of the coil-overs!
