Attorney General Holder says, "WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO POSSESS GUNS."
Here's something for CJandura & others who feel the right to bear arms is important. I don't own firearms, but do defend the right of choice.
Attorney General Holder says, "WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO POSSESS GUNS."
TAKES 10 SECONDS ... DO IT AND PASS IT ON.
Guess they were not happy with the poll results the first time, so USA today is running another one...Vote now...
Attorney General Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues. He does not believe the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. Then pass the link on to all the pro-gun folks you know. Hopefully the results will be published later this month.
Here's what you need to do:

Funny, but wrong.
The price (singular, subject of sentence) of coilovers (plural, but the object), IS too damn high (subject is singular, remember?)...
The priceS (plural) ARE too damn high...but the price IS too damn high.
Don't know why but that bugs the bejesus out of me.

If that deal does come through I might actually make the switch. Thats crazy good. THe only thing Im worried about is what happens in the case of a failure down the road? DO they have a distributor here in America? Im aware they are well known on the drift scene and overseas but I thought they were fairly new here?

Yes thats exactly why I asked those questions? They aren't well known here in the states and I certainly had not heard of them before this came up. They sponsor several GT cars. The company is small and I don't know who distributes the parts and how you would get a warranty replacement

FOr the price its great. They are probably offering reduced prices as they try to build a reputation here in the states.
From another forum who has PERSONAL expierence:
"I am in the car parts(especially tuning) wholesale business. We are the exclusive EBC and Goodridge dealers in Romania and we also are official dealers for Powerflex, Bilstein, Tarox, and AP. As you can see we are accustomed with only serious suppliers.
I am writing this article hoping that no one will have the same bad luck as we did.
Because I received a lot of advertising emails from XYZ, I decided to give XYZ a try because I needed a suspension that was only available from them. I ordered 4 suspensions and a brake kit. The delivery time was supposed to be 7-10 days but they didnt respected it and the order was ready for dispatch after 21 days!!!. One of the suspensions did not fit and one of the brake kits came with the wrong bolt pattern.
I wrote to my sales agent and after sending pictures and making a lot of measurements during a whole week, she gave me the solution: the return of the items is not accepted because is not their fault they did not fit. The only argument they had was:”we sold these to a lot of customers and they dind not had any problems with them”
I modified the brake kit and fitted it but after 100km the rotors started to vibrate and when we checked them, the aluminium hats were deformed and not because of the heat but because the material was too weak for this type of application. I contacted the sales agent but the answer came a lot faster this time: improper usage, no warranty.
I advise all potential buyers to stay away from the 3 Taiwanese brands: XYZ, D2 and K-Sport, they are all made in the same factory, all parts are interchangeable and all share the same low quality and absolutely no warranty.
- The package and the paint quality of their products is very high but at a closer look you will recognize a cheap “made in China” design who does not worth the money(480$/coilover and 780$/330mm brake kit).
- The suspension hardness is adjustable but the difference between the hardest and softest settings is imperceptible and the shocks are very fragile(after only 3 trackdays there was a lot of play on the front shocks on a MK5 GTI).
- The diameter of the calipers` pistons in their brake kits is the same for all cars and in many cases they are a downgrade instead of an upgrade, the pistons surface being smaller that the one from the oem caliper. The 6 pot caliper has is in fact a 2 piston caliper. Despite the fact it has 3 pistons/side, 2 of them have 35mm diameter and the third has only 25mm. The total area is 2415mm² which is smaller than the area of almost any oem caliper(a standard Golf MK5 caliper has 57mm diameter piston with an area of 2551mm)"
disgruntled or foreshadow for us? Don't get me wrong, not trying to knock them but these stories are NOt few and far between. The complaints on the warranty replacement are aplenty. THis is what I said from the start. In china all the plans for parts have to be shared and can look good but are not good quality

I keed, I keed. But in all seriousness, I do like the G sedan in white. Very appealing.
The coupe, however, eh...not so much. Too bland for the lines of the car. Black, red, and the elusive Caribbean Blue for me.
Never understood why Nissan released so few G's in this color. It's a good-looking color. I bet it'd look good on a Z, too.
#1266
Be cool.
Be different.
I'm getting them one of these days, goin on le white car so it can has teh slammage and pull all duh bishes
Also see below.
Buying CO-ROVAHS?!?!??!
#1269
If the deal goes through I will probably get them as well. I just don't like wasting my money and if they are indeed knock-offs made by a company who have simply made enough money off cheap people to stay in business then Im gonna be pissed.
CJ, Is that an actual XYZ office or just a distributor for them? Apparently they sent out offers to a ton of distributors offering extremely low prices and they received so many complaints that many have stopped distributing them now.

Now I have a full job ahead of me. I have to re-wetsand before i touch it with the buffer again.
Thank ya
HIDs will color-shift after a few hours' worth of use. Sometimes up the spectrum, sometimes down, depending on the salts in the bulbs. The glass may also play into it.
bunch of stuff
I used a Snap-On buffer with a variable speed trigger. Runs up to 3000 RPMs. I stayed in between 1800 and 2200, though.
You won't take off too much paint as long as you keep the buffer moving, and make sure you have plenty of polish to keep the paint from getting too hot.

And yes, HID's shift in colour, it can not be determined exactly how they will shift on cheap bulbs, cheaper the salts/processing/forumla the more random it is and the worse the output is

Maybe they got the plans for either Ksport or D2 and actually try to replicate the quality instead of cheaping out. I just dont want to buy them and the springs are too stiff to make up for crappy dampers. The quality of the damper and the hardware MAKE a coilover. In reality not many on here will be able to see how they hold up under track conditions either. Most of the DD's on here will probably love them. I was mostly worried to hear the "30 way adjustable" is not exactly very different. Kind of like AGX struts I guess

If the subject was PRICES, plural, then "are" would be correct.
The price IS.....the prices ARE.
#1279
who said it was singular??? i thought it was speaking about every coilovers set... if it was only about 1 specific coilover set then the price of coilovers wouldnt be too damn high i would think..
#1280
Grammar concepts like that are hard for people. If it sounds weird then most likely it is bad grammar. The internet has downgraded grammar quality immensely. I chose to just laugh at the joke lol. The sentence started off with price. Which is singular. It wouldn't matter if they were talking about one or more sets. It doesn't matter here in a grammar sense. The price or the cost IS too high whereas prices or costs ARE too high. You would still say the price of every set of coilovers on the earth is too high
