While I don't personally own PBM coilovers and they are on my "looking" list for coilovers here is what I do know..

They are quite popular in the S Chassis and many other communities especially with those who drift. From what I have read from looking over various forums and threads is that they hold up very well, replacement strut inserts are cheap and the Pro series coilovers are actually quite streetable compared to the Competitions which are very stiff.

The competition series apparently also goes quite low.

Are they comparable to 2500 KW V3's? No probably not, however they seem to be quite good for the price category they are in and certainly better than the Godspeed/Megan/DC coilovers people are putting in their cars.

They also sell direct to consumer unlike many companies which require you to go through an authorized distributor which also helps keep the cost a little low.

They used to offer swift springs however it appears they opted to do their own spring over the past few years helping bring the cost down a little more.

They may not be a name like TEIN but if you google them you will find people who are very happy with them, mostly the drift community and that they take abuse very well.
