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?

im thinking of rocking these also if everybody is anti Chinese and knock off this and that you should read the MADE IN stickers on all the products you buy daily god speed made a bad name for them selves in the beginning but just like anyone fabricating stuff you start some where ,Sorry to OP i had to put my 2 cents in .

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 .

Well since these coilovers have proved to be unreliable time and time again does anyone recommend used tein or cusco coilovers or some brand along those lines?

I like pbm's but i have no idea how to acquire them. I've been to their site and love the overall look and features of them and the price is crazy good, but how much is shipping? Everything is in Japanese so its very difficult to find out the cost of shipping.

RZob, I picked up PBM's from elite for 950 out the door, with my choice of spring rate.

Trans is in, I ended up needing to fabricate a crossmember. I am gonna finish the fab work on it tonight and drop it off at my welder for final welding.

Yeah 950 for the BC's seemed fair, that was also a cash price
