They are better than the Weapon S.... You get what you pay for, compare their price with Teins or K Sport.

Hey,
I have these on right now. (Just on my rear for now).
They're making a lot of noise. I haven't figured out what is causing it tho.
The installation manual wasn't very good at explaining things.
I'm gonna keep working on it to see if I can get rid of the knocking, rubbing, clanking noise.

But, the height adjusting does work like it is supposed to.
The ride is stiff/bumpy but that's expected.

It's just the noise.
I'll report more soon.

dont be cheap when it comes to safty. also like someone else said you get what you pay for. coilovers give you a rough bumpy ride, you will bottom out alot. And when turning and going over ANY bumps the front coilover make TONS of LOUD noices. Also when you go over a bridge your car will be like a bounch house. So all in all dont get them save up some more money and get something good

but what's wrong with coilovers? adjustable ride and height and dampening. it's like the having the perfect spring! i'm just wondering why you bash the coilovers. also, you retain suspension travel, something that you are desperate for, especially with s-techs.

I'm looking for extreme performance and so far as I've read...coil overs seems to be the way to go..I said price isn't a rpoblem because I'm willing to pay for performace...comfort ride isnt really high on my list, I want my car to " stick " to the ground more.
