I'm not at liberty to disclose yet, as I'm trying to convince the importer to include damper testing with each kit so consumers can make better decisions on car setup.

But that stuff costs money.

Coo. I was just curious as to what other coilovers this would be competing with in similar price range

Thanks for being the test monkey, on behalf of the community.

While it's not for everyone, there's benefit to the Apex'i approach for reasonably-priced coilovers, built from a common parts bin. Link to parts bin

It's nice to see another company jumping into the external reservoir world. Especially when you're trying to make a small-stroke damper, sending some of that duty to a canister can be a good thing (if done right).

What are the main differences between these and the other similar options (BC Racing ER, Megan Racing Spec-RS, etc.) ? Thinking materials, spring rates, adjusters, etc.

Similar to your last point, I'd love to hear what are comparable coilovers to the ones you are testing. I may be wrong, but I don't remember Blitz being a suspension focused company.

Blitz has never made their own suspension in-house. Nor do several other companies.

How was the drive on these to vegas? Comparable to the Ohlins?

very composed and comparable to Ohlins initially, yes. I did have the shocks dyno'd and am running them as-is with a recommended setting from a shock setup guy, harsher due to 8/7 spring rate (vs 6/6 on Ohlins) but otherwise feel good.

So I'm guessing you didn't back out the damping for a "comfort setting" for the trip there.

We'll just wait till you had a little more time to play with them for more detailed impressions.
