new parts arrived
we've found a manufactory in taiwan which makes good quality coilovers and some other stuffs. we ordered 3 set of coilovers(1xs2000, 2x240sx) and 2 set extra springs(10kg/8gk, 8kg/6kg) as samples. they arrived yesterday and we installed on our cars right after that.
actully, the quality is much better than what I imaged. They are mostly forged, and the springs are made in taiwan; the struts are Made in Japan(am not sure if I could call it JDM, but that's the reason we choose them
).
front weight 11.2lb, rear 9.7lb(stock front: 12.6lb, rear 12.8lb)
Top mounts included, original spring rates are F 10KG/180mm, R 8KG/180mm.
We've tried mountain road last night, and some local and highway runs today. First time impression, 9/10, compair with my previous setup(Stock with KG/MM race), much more comfort and better steering response.
the bad, front struts doesn't have brake line braket, but we will tell the manufactory and see what's the best they can do.
anyway, we are still testing the performance and lifetime, if they are good, we will probably host a group buy soon. But if they don't worth that, NVM, I don't want you guys wasting time or $$$...
here's some pix, feel free to give your suggestion

looks good.. only thing id change about them is the color.. The color is one thing that would throw me off from buying those coilovers, thats if they turn out to be worthwhile. If you could change the color to a solid blue, red, silver, or black it would ino look 100 times better... but good luck with everything

the ruler thing is genius! i wonder why other companies haven't done that yet (if so?)
sorry guys I am moving now.
I am not sure about the price at this time. I am thinking about $899 for group buy, but depends on how much I could get from manufactory. and the good thing is, available on choosing your custom spring rate.
and need you opinion here, the color could be changed, so what color do you guys like? let me know, I will talk to the manufactory.
thanks alot for interested, I'll do my best...
