Default BlackWorks SS Coilovers

Hey guys i have been looking around for some reviews for BlackWorks Coilovers but i cant seem to find anything. Has any one tried these and are they good for the price? What other coilovers would be good for around the same price?

First time hearing them for the tC, I just checked their site and didn't find anything for the tC. They're another Taiwan built coilover ... http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2698683

What did HT say about them? What would be a good coilover for around 700 800 dollars? can you even find a okay coilover for that much and if so buy who?

What did we all learn about eBay coilovers from RL/RK? I think that I would buy these expecting something similar in quality.

I don't think these fall into the RL/RK level. These are more along the lines of K-sport. Still not the best, but not the worst either.

Well i actually know what i am getting into, and its defo not RL/RK. I have had them on my CRX now for a year and they are as smooth as butter and not 1 issue to date. I have talked with BW about that whole honda haters forum and cleared that up back then and took the chance alot would not. Not gonna start anything about Pros and Cons, im just stating they work and if you can get a deal on a set, not to be scared. The only thing i would not clear up is the fact that i do not autocross or race, so im not sure how they would handle under those extreme conditions, but as far as dropping and feel, they are legit coilovers. If i were to compare them, they are equivalent to your Ksports or D2's. Just check the spring ratios cause BW uses some weird ones, but they work.

A local shop now sells their products but I already had my B&Gs though, probably could have got a deal on them, oh well. Regarding weird spring rates, find out the inner diameter of the springs and order what you want, unless they can give you the spring rates you want.
