o, ad get a pic up here, its will help, start your own thread though and post it on here so we dont wreck this dudes thread anymore then we have with our bulsit. im super eager to want to see these, ive been wanting them but ya know, im worried lol

i think what one of these threads need is a side car video showing how much they bounce and what not, to show if there at least decent enough to not just save another $500 bones

i guess my thread went on a little spurt while i was gone lol

to try and answer everyone questions...

coils still feel like the day i installed them paint is about the same just waiting on the front 5 lug hubs for my new wheels.

if i didnt mention before the slammed pic is with both collars removed and the rear maxed out

to get your wheels to lean in just dial in some camber it will look like pure sex...

the fender gap is about a quarter inch up front and 1/8th out back

my next act of bussiness is to get a in car video and exterior video of some regular driving and then some stuff just to show how the coils handle.

just other stuff that is probably gunna go in soon

cant wait....and hell i might get a pair of these, all i need is Zero body roll and a stiff ride, wth pretty much only that amount of drop(2.5front-1.75rear)probably going to go with kts at spl but keep this thread alive and i might just save 500 bucks and get other stuff for the car

what version are these? type SS /RS/ or???

ps: i have 300zx rear 5 lug hubs for sale!!

thats awsome to hear, and i saw most going for 150 so i posted them up for 150(obo)plus shipping,im willing to neg the price depending how how crazy the shipping is tooand im thinking on getting the ss tpe cause i dont really know much about tuning the dampening and springs.....is that a bad thing? its already set for street use and track, so im guessing there pretty firm but not rock hard... any advice?

Can't wait to know the final answer, I'm waiting to decide if i should ditch my Eibach sport line/Tokico HP combo (included when i bought my car) and go for Goodspeed coilovers or just Keep my Eibach spring and switch out the Tokico HP for D-spec.

....

any way i am still under warranty so they will be replacing this coil free of charge

like i said before they are a good daily coilover but not stiff enough for the track.

if i were u and i was buying my first set of coils i would just save another 300 and go with megan streets or tracks

most likely gunna sell these for 285 with 2 new front coilovers and should have the bc coilovers by spring

i hope everyone got the info they needed out of this review feel free to post any ther questions

I agree i was going to buy a set but i have decided to go with pdm And the fact that the shock its self is replaceable and im going to order the street springs so dd is street springs , track will be the stiffer ones .
