My wedding ring had to be specially made because of how large my fingers are. I think stock ride height was a finger gap.

Are we still talking about your finger or your sausage?

@mr. slim:
Any additional notable comments, a revisited review and/or problems you can make after more than a year of usage?

We would appreciate it.

Anybody else have these that can comment and review?

Any autox and/or track reviews opinions?

They were great did a couple of track days.
The drift bug caught on to me and I ended up selling them for powered by max coils. But the feals are great if you want a stock suspension type of ride with a spirited drive I mind.

i am sorry for being a ****, but please replace your initial paragraph with this:

Hey FT86,
Recently, I got the opportunity to test out FEAL SUSPENSION's new coilover kit for the FR-S/BRZ. These are assembled by hand and customized to your requirements. They were designed (since I doubt he personally builds each unit, but if he does, then keep the word build) built by Odi Bakchis¬-a professional Formula D drifter.

i would also refrain from statements such as

So you know these coilovers can take a beating and they're made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts! (poor relationship link, there are many enthusiasts who aren’t very professional and plenty of professionals who aren’t very enthusiastic…)

Instead i would say something like. "these are durable coilovers" (assuming they are, in fact, made from thicker/stronger material or better designed and or produced.

[7thgear]

other than that i've heard good things about FEEL, so curious how these work out for people....

Mind if I ask which PBM coils you picked up, and what has your experience been since you had them installed? I'm very interested. Also did you get the PBM LCAs? The price is crazy great, so of course it makes me wonder about quality (even though PBM has a great rep).

I just got the comps and I do have the LCAs as well.
I just got them simply to go lower than the feals.

Hmm..never heard of these PBM before. They look very interesting, especially the shiny gold springs and full gold/copper colors, haha ..but joking aside, those BILLET lower mounts sounds very attractive and quality (especially after seeing so many broken lower strut mounts on google searches of Teins, BuddyClubs, HKS, etc., etc., etc. and so many other coilovers).

Do they seem high quality when you got/installed them? Or, do they seem beefier and more durable than the Feals? They sure sound/look like it.

Also..are they more aggressively damped and handle more aggressively than the Feals? I prefer/want a more aggressive coilover

hows the ride quality on the pbm compared to feal

I like Odi but I have to question those spring rates.

From my understanding, it's the only "budget" coilover that's done particularly well at national STX events. The rest of the field is on Tarmac IIs, KW v3s and similarly priced coilovers.

Setup for autocross is different from tracking. Dedicated setups are required to be the best. Every setup requires unique overall balance and that part requires refinement. Obviously driver skill is very important as well to harness the best out of the car.
