With that said, how could I 'trust' (using that word very lightly) someone else's 'review'?

As for the "pay and you'll get them thing", Why not just make it a $100-$300 deposit or something?
The beauty of the forums are the fact it's a place to learn and share.

I don't need a professional race car driver to tell me whether the coilovers ride softer or harder than stock.

I trust the average person is fully capable of comparing the new ride quality, to their factory suspension.

These aren't purpose built race coilovers, these are designed for the typical street car owner who enjoys his occasional weekends at the track....but who 99% of the time wants the comfort of a street refined coilover.

I want that customer to give the review, as that's the customer we designed these for.

These don't ride stiff with the valving and 6/6 spring rates.....so it's safe to say we're not the average "tuner" I guess, haha.

I do think lowering the car is probably the initial reason many choose to install coilovers, browsing this board.


But I don't think you should have to give up ride quality, with low-end Chinese made coilovers being peddled all over this board, to do it.


That's where I think this product has it's place.


There are cheaper coilovers, but I don't think you'll find many systems offered with the quality of components used at this price point.
