Thanks for the replies! I wasnt intending on buying a set. I have just never seen anyone on here with them, or even heard of them for that matter. haha

The spring rates and specs look good. I was curious myself.

If you going to DD these and want a drop, I don't see why these wouldn't do well.

Without a shock dyno, it's hard to tell if they are good or not tho.

I was actually thinking the same thing. I've seen them for sale around $600 and was like WFT.. these are the specs:
- Spring Rates: 8kg Front and 6kg Rear
- 16 Levels of Adjustable Damper
- Pillow Ball Upper Mounts
- Rubber Dust Covers
- Adjustable Ride Height 1"-4"

I compared them to D2's which spring rates are 9.8kg Front and 7.2kg Rear for almost twice the price...

Is anyone actually riding on these (on an AP)?
I'd like to hear some feed back.

I just stumbled onto these as well. They seem to be pretty good on paper (or the computer screen).

As someone who will never track my car, and may do an autox once or twice a year, I may be the first guy to give these a try.

Anyone else out there got em?

The bad thing about threads like these are... you get tons of people who have ZERO first hand experiance with the part. They see it's not a JDM part or expensive as hell so they bash it.

On the 240 forums everyone bashes God Speeds and tells you to buy some Megans. Megans are identical and also started on ebay just like Godspeed.

I had a 89 240 Coupe with the God Speed coilovers and RUCAs on it.... IMO it rode pretty nice for being slammed... with a minor drop they ride great.

Now if you are into tracking your car and what not... I would probably invest in something more proven on the track.

Daily driver who wants a drop, IMO, the godspeeds are fine.

^I agree with that. I think these coilovers would be fine for me. No tracking and pretty much all street driving. They have good spring rates also.

I am torn between trying these and jus going for some Koni yelows, which are much more proven. I know they aren't full coilovers, but they do have some adjustability in the damping and I have heard work well with the stock springs. Only a 1/2" drop, but it's a little and I could go to some lowering springs later if I want.

I don't know...

You should buy them then write a review lol. This way there will finally be first hand knowledge.

I forgot who said it. But yes megan did start on ebay too... I wounder how these fare
