ive never seen spring rates like that in a coilover setup for our cars (10kfront/7k rear)

seems like a strange balance.

At that price there cant be possibly any damping in there. Thats probably a spring with tophats, more or less.

Spend about 350 more and get slightly less shitty coils from a more reputable company.

You have read good reviews "on them" by people who don't know any better.



Punctuation is "the use of spacing, conventional signs, and certain typographical devices as aids to the understanding and the correct reading, both silently and aloud, of handwritten and printed texts." Another description is: "The practice, action, or system of inserting points or other small marks into texts, in order to aid interpretation; division of text into sentences, clauses, etc., by means of such marks."

Their "ARTC Durability & Salt Spray" claim is probably worthless. That's not a standards organization... but rather a massive automotive test lab in Taiwan. If you paid for accelerated life testing and long-term corrosion testing, you'd proudly plaster the details up. When you want to rubber stamp "PASS" on a product, custom standards are great!

Just like with other CX Racing products, they make a compelling product at rock-bottom prices. If you're willing to deal with the hassle of poor tolerances, materials, and design... it can save plenty of $$ (upfront).

Please remember that a set of Tein Flex Z's cost about the same, and similarly a lightly used set of BC Racing coilovers. Both are better options, if you need coilovers (rather than springs/shocks).

I wouldn't touch those with a 99 1/2 foot pole. At that price point they are for stancers and show cars and nothing else. I bet they are worse in every way than the stock suspension.
