FAQs
Lead times and availability
Every product page shows a live availability badge, and the cart and your order confirmation carry one line per kit, “Expected to ship to you on”, with the date we expect to ship it. Here is what each badge means.
- In Stock — the base kit is on the shelf. RedShift S1 Street ships in about 1 week as built (about 2 weeks with the customize box), P1 Performance in about 2 weeks (every P1 is valved at RedShift), Comp1W and BC Revalved Comp1W in 5–6 weeks (every Comp kit is built and valved to order). BC Racing BR kits in stock at BC ship within 24 hours (custom-order BC kits about 1 week). FAPO kits ship in 1–2 business days.
- Arriving <date> — the base kit is on its way to our US warehouse. The date is when it lands; the kit ships its normal lead time after that.
- Overseas Stock — the base kit is in our overseas warehouse: about 10 weeks by ocean freight at no extra charge, or about 4 weeks by air freight (+$300, chosen on the product page).
- Build to Order — a BC Racing kit that is not on BC’s shelf right now; it ships in about 8 weeks.
- Custom Build — not on our shelf yet. RedShift builds the kit for your car in about 8 weeks. A one-off build costs us much more than a batch, so a Custom Build kit (S1 Street, P1 Performance or Comp1W) is +$500 per kit on a single order. Group buys bring the price down: 3 or 4 customers +$250 per kit · 5 or more customers the regular price. Every member orders separately on the product page and picks the level the group reached under “Custom-build pricing”; we confirm the group with its organizer before the builds start and handle each order on its own. Want to start one for your club or forum? Contact us and we will set it up.
- Request to Order (FAPO kits) — FAPO knows the application but has no stock on the way. Send a request from the product page and we will get you a date. Nothing is charged.
- To Be Developed (“In Development” on product tiles) — an application we are still developing. Send a request from the product page and we will confirm timing and price. Nothing is charged.
Choosing your own spring rates
Every RedShift kit can be customized. On the S1 Street and the P1 Performance, tick Customize this kit (+$150) on the product page and enter your front and rear rates in whole kg/mm, on our standard springs up to 10 kg/mm; Swift springs (+$380) can be added once the box is ticked and are required above 10 kg/mm. Comp1W and BC Revalved kits include your rates. FAPO PF kits take the same box at +$225 (the extra covers shipping the kit to our shop). A customized kit is built to your rates at RedShift and ships in about 2 weeks. Not sure which rates? Tell us how you drive and we will recommend them — no charge.
