They arent that bad for a budget coilover, and you guys definitely make them work. But they wouldnt be my first choice. Actually I was offered some 40k mile tein flex's straight trade for my MR suspension and passed. They have very small dampening range despite how many "clicks" they say you can turn. Ive had discussions with a few good suspension tuners before and most japanese coilovers, with the exception of Ohlins, have that problem. They are generally valved very stiff, the shock dyno's are all over the place, and they just arent that well constructed.

Trust me, if someone else was driving my car, it would be a different story. This year has been a big learning curve for me, I was on stock suspension last year in Vegas and placing 2nd vs a guy with rcomps. No tire pax down there. Up here, you guys can drive! Give it time, you will all be trading the subys for evo's soon!
