Seen these before, but just like you, haven't heard anything or seen any reviews, would be interesting to know, they do look pretty good.

They fronts look like maybe they'll fit. I'm trying to figure out the rears. Maybe the pics are for a different vehicle?

I was looking into buying a set of these. There is supposedly a place in NYC that has the basic versions of these for $650. I have read numerous reviews, mostly from honda sites, and those that had them had no problems with them. They had promised to show some shock dynos months ago and never came through. But again, people who have them seem to like them.
I might pick up a set of these in the next week or so.

The other link that comes up with the search... they sell 'Blackworks' products...

A lot of the Honda guys love em.

BWR SS New Stuff - B20 VTEC

You gotta check if they're rebuildable, because if you have coilovers you'll probably blow one someday.

Why is that 99% of Hondas are riced out beyond reason? That link made my eyes bleed.

Does he have the basic versions? I thought the basic versions were only height adjustable, but the ones in the link are the SS and they are dampening adjustable as well as height adjustable I believe. Can you confirm that for me?

They sound like re-branded Nex coilovers i.e. GT for only lowering, SS with lowering and dampening. For the money might as well as buy BC Racing which are proven to be good for the $ although not Tein SS good.

yeah noticed that, reverse look up could probably get an address, but why should the customer have to 'wonder' where a company is...
