Interested once you test them out, do you know what the range of adjust-ability is on the upper pillow bar mounts?

Hey guys, sorry for the wait on details. I'll have the official standard rates/details for all trims when I pick up my coils. Please stay tuned, I should have them in 2 weeks or less :D
Shaweet. I can't wait to figure out what coil-overs i'm gonna get.

Hey Guys, just a bit of an update...
My coilovers should be in my hands 4/8/11.
Also, for those of your comparing these to Megans - these coilovers are produced in Korea while Megans/BC's/Etc are produced in Taiwan.
For those of you familiar with various rx8 coilover setups, take a close look at the pictures and they should look familiar to one of the most popular coilovers on the forum, but for a fraction of the cost

Possibly built to higher specs per the company's request though, If i were you i'd find out first!

You were wrong earlier when you stated they were rebranded Megans/D2/etc, so it's clear you don't seem to know as much as you think you do. I'd appreciate it if you could keep the misinformation/useless posts out of this thread, if at all possible. Nothing worse for a new company trying to enter a market than people talking down their product, who don't really know what they are talking about. I appreciate your helpful intentions, but at this point, they are no longer so helpful

I often wonder if where a typical tool or product is made means anything at all. I have seen some cheap **** so I definitely understand that some cheap knock off crap is sold but at the same time I don't see why some street coilovers for example, cost twice as much.
I am patiently awaiting pics.

Pateince is a virtue, I can't wait to get these in my hands! I'll give an honest opinion of the build quality and have them on a dyno if it proves not too much of an inconvenience.

Yeah, pricing, supplier, quality, etc is really difficult to tell these days. I work in a part of the aftermarket industry (not suspension) and can say a lot of it comes down to politics, production costs, marketing costs, etc. There are loads of factors taken into consideration when pricing a product and as I'm sure you can guess, name has a lot to with it. There are going to be some manufacturers that clearly differentiate themselves (in this case I am thinking Moton, Ohlin, etc) but in the entry-mid street coilover level the lines are really blurred and it becomes difficult to tell the good stuff from the not-so-good stuff.

You are exactly right. I actually heard you were in the industry, a little birdy told me you worked for APC
