I am simplly amazed by this forum...I did not ask if I should get them or what I should get. I'm not even interested in getting them and people make suggestions.
I have the cattman coilovers as it is.
I simply asked if anybody did end up getting them and when they see this hopefully they will say somthing about them. This is part of being a car enthesisist is about. Knowing things, leave it at that.

How are the Cattman coilovers? Any alternations needed to fit? or direct replacement? How much?

I have the JICs and they are great! Still haven't had a chance to "tune" them because they came 4+ months late so I was only able to get one track day on them this year, can't wait until spring.
As fot the street I have the dampers set at 8 in the rear and 5 in the front. Rides almost like stock at slower speeds but at higher speeds gives a nice firm and planted feel, the floating is gone. but over abrupt bumps you will feel them!
The steering is much sharper and more precise at all speeds and I haven't even done an aligment since I installed them. yaya I know...
While I don't think they are cost effective for only street use I highly reccomend them for anyone who participates in Solo1/2 and does track days.
Why I bought them,
- Top notch craftmanship from reputable company
- 15 Way Adjustable Dampers
- Built in Camber Plates
- Adjustable ride height at the strut/damper level, keeps full damper movement unlike Ground Control and similar that adjust at the spring perch.
What I don't like,
- No English Documentation, not for install(was easy) but for tuning.
- ABS bracket not like stock, had to use wire to hold ABS cable.

And does it ever bottom out, meaning do you hit the bump stops, did you trim them at all, and just how low from factory did you lower it.
