We are the only company that offers this on height/damping adjustable coilovers at our price point. All dampers are designed, assembled, tested, and meticulously quality controlled in house."

They are still playing the word game but as long as they are "meticulous" all should be fine.

I mean, I would like 100% made in USA parts, but.... Usually they are VERY expensive.


Many companies manufacture parts overseas, then assemble/QC their products here to claim both: Made in USA from domestic and international parts AND keep their costs competitive in the new world-marketplace we live in.




I understand, It is a compromise. But, one I can live with.

Well, when you push in (down) on the clutch pedal, the TOB is working (under load). When you let up on the clutch the TOB is still spinning (as long as the engine is running), but, it's not under load.

Let's hear from our TOB experts, @Ultramaroon @Tcoat .

There are approximately as many TOB threads as there are stars in the galaxy. Spike is a favourite of mine and all but...

OK so there are probably MORE TOB threads than stars in the galaxy.
