Paradox systems coilovers

Has anybody heard anything about these? I know they are new, but I am somewhat interested. Tell me what you think.

Well from the way its looking, paradox systems is manufacturing them. Has anybody dealt with their other products? Im almost tempted to try these out, unless somebody comes up with a much better suggestion for coilovers. I have heard that the illuminas are the best. Is that true?

illuminas arnt coilovers they are struts....and the best coilovers IMO are JICs but they are tons of money....but K-Sports and D2s are good and lil bit cheaper...someone might say Boss Chen but there are like 2 people with them

if you could get different springs for the same price then its something to jump on. But 12kg-F 8kg-R is way too stiff for daily use, more as an auto-x.

you could mostlikely find an Eibach ERS spring that would fit, and just select a lower rate.

Those spring rates are pretty high. If they have a decent customer service and you dont mind adjusting them and working with them I would go for it. They are an established company and I'm sure they realize how word spreads on the .org so I think they would try to take care of you.

JIC's have a spring rate of 9/7 I think, might be 9/6.

12/8 is WAY too stiff for street use. i dont see how these can be any better than D2s or ksports.
