I'm in. Arizona has some of the most horrible roads I have ever experienced (not as bad as some of those I drove on in Mississippi...), and I would like to experience some "spirited" yet comfortable street driving. I am sure some members of AZ86 would be willing to do some test drives and give feedback as well...

Thank you all for your entries.


We really do appreciate it and I do look forward to hearing from the drawing winner.


I definitely think there's a need for a more street focused suspension that provides fantastic ride quality.


While I can't say these will cure bad roads or pot holes, I definitely think once the dampening settings have been dialed in for your personal preference, ride quality will be improved over the factory suspension.


Have a great weekend everyone, and I look forward to the drawing Monday night

Appreciate the offer Dave, but we wouldn't expect anyone to return these.


If anything, donate them to a fellow local enthusiast who could put them to good use.

I'm in. Username: Ammunition

I have a 2014 FR-S and I have been wanting to try a set of coilovers, but most of them are out of my price range - especially for a product that I haven't had prior experience with. My FR-S is my DD and there are a number of older broken up roads from trucks, speed bumps, and other things that have me concerned about the comfort of the ride, but these sound like they're designed with these things in mind and will be a pleasure to have installed on the car.

It would be great to see someone put out a set of coilovers designed for a great ride but geared more towards the DD/street use rather than track or high performance.

Thanks for the opportunity!
