I have been doing a lot of reasearch on the C8s. And i have not decided 100% on that. I am working with a company on getting me a better deal for the C8 so that i can put a review on here about them. If these turn out to be a good product then i will arrange a group buy also.
Here are my personal thoughts on the C8sports after the reasearch that i have done.
In high school I work in electronics at sears as a salesman, What i found is that when Vizio came out, No one had heard of them and didnt want to try them.... Vizio's price was LOW. They kept prices low to get their name out there. The vizio TV is a very good american made television. But without the credability, they couldnt price their products like sony and samsung could. Now that the vizio name is up near the top... prices are starting to reflect that. This could be the same situation with these coilovers. They are new and dont have the reputation that they would need to price like everyone else. Its possible that these are a great product and no one knows it yet becuase everytime someone considers them they get thrashed just like this thread has done. People are creatures of habit and it takes 1 person to step out and go for something new in order to convince the others that change is not always bad. If i have to be the test subject on these to help get the name out then they are going to have to give me a pretty good price on them. Other wise... Ill listen to the advice and save for the D2s. Negotiations should be firmed up this evening and Ill let everyone know how its looking.
Thanks for the input.

I know i dont have to explain myself to anyone but im 20 years old. I am an insurance agent and take care of ALL bills on my own and try to maintain 2 cars... maybe if i had been with a company for a while and had better income... ya go with JIC. But the truth is is that im looking for something to lower my car and a little better handling. I dont need a racing suspension or anything super high dollar. Just something to lower my car (springs could work but im wanting about 2" drop and dont want to replace struts that much). The point im making is no.. im not cheap. But if these C8s are a good product... no one will know untill someone tries them. Thats the refrence to the VIZIO tvs. No one knew they were a good product untill some tried them and told thier freinds. If you want to spot me a few extra hundred bucks.... Ill get the D2s or BC's.

SN: like you said in a previous post...people are creatures of habit, this forum is no different...if you dont go with the crowd, 'you're stupid', i do hate that about this forum. like you said, if no one tries C8s, then how will you ever know if they are a surperior(sp?) brand? i've read they are close to BCs and Megans, which is saying alot. so i'm not against you trying them.

My opinions
Suspension: Just do some struts and lowering springs and RTB. Alot less maintenance intensive than cheap coil overs that will need rebuilding occasionally. Coil over owners will downplay this, but I've seen constructive reviews that show an average of ~20k mile rebuild life on your average cheapo coilovers.
Exhaust: Unless you're ever doing headers, just go megan. Looks good, sounds good with stock headers, and does the job.

The whole blue ridge area is wonderful to cruise around on... not even being stupid and pushing it.

Never did the C8. The guy who is the usa rep couldn't beat his own price on amazon. He was gunna let me pick then up for 700 something when I could get en on amazon for $599. I told him that I would do a review on here for him and if they were quality products they're would be several more interested. The best he would do was is he liked the review he would give me $100 back. Sol more than amazon price. I will be going with megan cattback. A friend who owns a shop that I work at on the weekend got a contract with them. I just got to get a big enough order together to open it up so I can get my parts. So if any one is interested in megan products let me know and I'll put something together for you.
