lol i think i beat everyone. I had them for about a month and a half but before i could put em on i wrecked the tc. just got it back last tuesday and put the coilovers on last thursday and so its the best $300 I could spend. They are really high quality parts. It's little things i noticed about them like on the upper end coilovers there is no drop on sleve its all a solid shock perfect welds, no rust spots, the springs are flat on the ends so they sit in the seats flush there is a tiny bit of squeaking but no where near as bad as tien or ksport. the ride isnt bouncy as you would expect. i have em slammed and it only kicks back when I'm diging in a corner but they get an ok from me. Go get em before the price goes up. I'll put some more current and better pics up later with my lip on for those wondering about clearance. It's still getting painted. They settled a little lower over the weekend.

I don't think there is any other way to dump a car so low for the price, I'm guessing you got them all the way down, and those are just SWEET. Question for you, are you using a camber kit or is the stock enough to handle it?

im no pro on alignments but i believe the stock one should work. I gotta wait until friday to get it aligned but the front cambe still looks good but i know its off and the back is just a little worse than the front and it still can be adjust quite a bit so the stock one should work. They are about 3 rings from all the way down. just added security. i didnt want to go to the botton and it can get even lower if you take off the top spring seat and just ride the spring in to the towers but i dont recomend it lol i only have 17's on there so its doing a good job tucking those as is

Ordered & comfirmed today....

im getting tired of being curious...

I dont hear any other complaints other than "they are too cheap" and so far people who have them on all sites (VW, BMW, HONDA and now SCION) love em...

only thing left to do is have people break them in and see what they are about

Even if they go up itll only be a little over $300.. like the VW ones. Im holding off for now, got bigger fish to fry thats not car related.

But, the increase is no real big deal

I just installed mine today... They seem to be good quality. The ride's better than stock! If anyone can tell me how to post pictures, I'll show you guys. I need to correct the camber in the rear, but the install is pretty simple.
