I was looking into those a while back. I don't think anyone on nico has the s14 rtunes though The coilovers have a pretty stiff springs in them, like 8kg/mm front and 7kg/mm rear. If you live in an area with rough roads, you may not like that setup too much. Right now i'm running 5kg/mm front and 4kg/mm rear springs and the ride can get a bit bumpy over rough roads. potholes have to be avoided like the plague. I wouldnt go much harder on the springs for a daily driver, but its all a matter of opinion. some people run around on hard spring rates all day and love it.Other than that, i'm sure its a decent quality kit, on par with the others in that price range.

Well maybe I wiil try them out. I just sucks that none of the R tune stuff is warrantied or returnable, but I guess neither are many other coilovers.
