NEX SS coilovers?

Just curious to see if anybody has purchased these. For the price they seem ok, but they come with no warranty so im not buying them.
But heres the link.

those look pretty nice...I had my heart set on a set of Tein Basics, but these look good for a slightly cheaper price.....and plus, it comes with upper mounts, unlike the Basics. I def like these, may even buy them to try them out. Subscribing to this thread.

BTW, thanks for the link

They look ok but they have no camber plates. So there wont be much room for camber adjustments.

No camber plates=bad, the only car that I have seen these on were a VW Jetta and it looked pretty good, pretty slammed. But they might be worth a try.

No camber plates = not the end of the world. UNLESS, you are really slamming your car. I plan on going no lower than 2in, so I know I'd be fine...with more frequent tire rotations, of course

camber plates usually mean that the system is running pillowball mounts also, not that great in terms of reliability and noise free operation. Plus most generic pillowball mounts are not designed to take suspension load properly, thus making it quite dangerous (you can read up on this on the Ground Control website).

And don't expect much warranty on coilover systems. It is a race derived technology carried over for street use. Hence you don't see too many warranties on aftermarket components. Manufacturers at most only protect against defects in materials and workmanship.

I don't understand why we even need camber plates with ksports or any other coilover. i have my plates set in the middle on my ksports. you can put negative camber on your wheels without the use of camber plates.
