Godspeed Coilovers

Godspeed Project builds every coilover line around a mono-tube shock body, then changes the piston, oil, and valving to move the line up or down in stiffness and adjustability. Pricing below is Godspeed's own listed pricing at the time of writing and varies by vehicle application.

All three families share the same basic layout - threaded body for ride height, click-adjustable damping - so the right pick usually comes down to budget and how the car gets driven.

Mono-SS

Godspeed's entry-level line and the one most searched for by name. It's aimed at drivers who want adjustable coilovers for less than a set of quality lowering springs plus shocks would cost, mainly for a daily-driven, occasionally-spirited car. See our Honda Civic coilover guide for how it fits one of its most common applications.

Mono-RS

A step up in damping range (32-level vs. 16-level) and firmer valving, positioned for street cars that see the occasional track day without needing full multi-way control.

MAXX, MAXX Sports, MAXX 2-Way, and MAXX 3-Way

The MAXX family uses a larger 52mm shock body and adds 1-way, then 2-way, then 3-way independent damping control as you move up the range. This is the line to look at for dedicated track or autocross use, where separating compression and rebound tuning matters more than it does for a street car. If you're cross-shopping a fully multi-way setup, our best coilovers guide covers how MAXX 2-Way and 3-Way compare with other adjustable options.

Godspeed competes in the same budget-to-mid-range bracket as BC Racing, Megan Racing, and D2 Racing. All four brands sell mono-tube coilovers with click-adjustable damping and threaded-body height adjustment across a wide range of fitments, and all carry similar 1-year limited warranty terms.

The main differences owners report between these brands come down to fit-and-finish details (powder coat durability, pillow ball tolerances, included hardware) rather than the core spec sheet. If ride height range or spring rate for a specific car matters more than brand, it's worth comparing the exact application page on each brand's own site before buying, since both vary by vehicle.

Godspeed coilovers install like most aftermarket coilover kits: the stock spring-and-strut assembly comes out as a unit and the Godspeed coilover - spring, sleeve, and damper already assembled - goes in its place, reusing the factory top mount or switching to Godspeed's included pillow ball mount depending on the application. Godspeed's own fitment notes (for example, on the Civic FC Mono-SS kit) call out setting an initial spring preload, such as 10mm, before first drive, then fine-tuning ride height once the car has settled.

Damping is adjusted with a click dial, usually at the base or top of the shock depending on the series - turn it toward stiff for track use, toward soft for daily comfort. For the general procedure and tools needed, see our guides on how to adjust coilovers and coilover installation and cost. Many installers also reach for a coilover spanner wrench to set the perch height cleanly.
