Installed mine in the wee hours late last night. lol im crazy I guess. still need to dial in some things but they feel great!

Tilt, what strut tower brace do you have? I have the Mazdatrix brace and the damper adjuster still rests against it. did you have to do that little trick with the spacers to get yours to fit right? lmk man!

I've never seen any coilovers sell like these. Hotcakes indeed, haha.

Then again, everyone who's been purchasing is vouching for, and recommending them like crazy.

Definitely getting out there.

I've got the rear ride extenders routed into the trunk and am going to play with my height this weekend.

My only regret is having to wait all through Winter to install them. KDR did the install for me while they had the 8 in for some other, unmentionable, work.

Tomorrow I've got a meeting set up with Charles from Powertrix. I'm going to be bringing up a few topics, such as creating videos for the SE3P platform, such as the Z32 videos.

As always, if anyone has any recommendations to make the PT coilovers a better product, never hesitate to drop me a PM!

Nice!

I nearly went that direction. Started in post prod, went to production team itself, then went another direction altogether. Thanks for the offer!

P.S.

these things look great! if they perform half as good as they look they are more than worth the money.
