They specifically called out spc but said they would only handle OEM bolts. So yes that would still cover whiteline. Whether that means slipping or breaking I don't know.

LOL Overseas.... Autocorrect, you win again.
I'm a bit hesitant, especially after reading through all these threads and reading your Tein flex Z review.

I would test them, but I doubt a test unit or vehicle would be provided by them.

In contrast, Tein, Cusco, and RS*R have had zero issue providing test mules for feedback and review. That's confidence in their product!

I'm sure there would be other manufacturers that step up to the plate, but unfortunately those are the only local companies that have been willing to bring out test mules/demo cars.

Note: Neither I nor csg receive any compensation/gifts/sponsoships for testing and/or reviewing suspension (or any parts for that matter)

Their test car is currently at CARB for their supercharger. Maybe one day...

My last car was a fully built '83 Rx7 that I ran in Modified. 2009 I finished 2nd in my region, and in 2011 some old lady in a Suburban decided that I didn't need my car anymore, so she t-boned me. Obviously I ate about $15k in losses.

I have about 15 years of experience building first gen Rx7 track cars, and here I am in a new car, what I felt was the closest thing on the market to the feeling of an Rx7 in the early 80s. I feel like I'm starting all over.

I think I'll just slap on a solid axle with a lotus link, or maybe a tri link and a panhard. That'll solve my suspension problems.
