Bump, prices raised. Even if you are a dealer for either kind of coilover I'm interested and willing to make/take serious offers. Looking to get a set soon for an upcoming event.

Don't bother with the Powercraps, no matter how cheap you get them for.

TX

I have installed three sets, all of which needed new lower rear bushings within a year. They supposedly fixed that issue with replacements but at the end of the day they are still crap coilovers with no RX-8 R&D whatsoever, just off the shelf valving and spring rates. Powertrix and Stance Coilovers the same thing, just rebranded junk. Same for BC,HSD, D2, etc.

When you can get Ohlins, KW V3's for 2k and Bilsteins at the 1000 dollar mark and 1500 mark it's just silly to buy these cheapy coilovers when you can get stuff with actual R&D that are quality engineered and rebuildable all over the place.

But if all you care about is just going low then just get the cheapest junk you can find.

Ouch. I'm for something that can do both, but more on the lowering side of that equation. Not a fan of putting junk on my car for sure
