powered by max coilovers

[240love]

ok so recently i got tired of my megans and decided to try something new. So i sold my megans and ordered some powered by max coilovers. P Max is a new company that came over from japan. Us location is san diego. So today i suprisely walk into my house to find this

Opened up and it was stuffed with japanesse newspaper(just thought it was funny)

i dont have pics to compare to my megans because i sold them to my friend and he let me borrow his gay tokico shocks with cut tein springs. Even though i dont have a pic of megans side by side with max i can tell you that these are way beefier. Heres a pic of them next to the tokico shocks



Here is a pic of them installed in the rear.. forgot to take one of the front



So after i was done i went out and tested them. I set them at their softest which is as hard as most 32 way adjustable coilovers set at their hardest according to Max info. I went out took a couple hard turns and what not and all i have to say is i love them,these are way better then megans. Even though these are stiff as Fack its still a comfortable ride not bouncy like my megans were.

So yeah i guess i made this thread to recomend them to anyone out there looking for coilovers. These are bad *** coilovers for a bad *** price ONLY 1000!! +1 for max coilovers, they make more suspension parts too by the way

Here is a pic of my car with them on ( yes i know i need a wash and paint)

Thats all kanji, no hirogana or katakana. That is Chinese print, so these things must be made there.

o sorry idk about stuff like that...i just assumed...

[95.240AZN378]

Were the rear old tokico/ tein setup installed like that?....loose?

[ddgsxr504]

Looks good I hope they work out for you. On a side note.... why would you need pillow ball mounts for the rear. The caster on the rear subframe and suspension dampner doesn't change enough to warrant it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

go back to sucking your thumbs biggins.

ive driven stance and hks before, as well as another set of ksports.........

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

I think they should perform better than megans for the fact that they are more expensive.

Megan: 930Powered By Max: 1000..

70 difference is nothing.

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

I dunno where u bought yours but ive seen them as low as 830. Lowest i seen lately was 855 or 885.
