perhaps you were making a general statement, but just to be clear, theres no camber adjustment at the top hat with our suspension. only with macpherson struts.
yes, that was just a general statement

The ride and performance of the PSS's with stock pillow mounts is superior to the low end JDM rice kits IMO.

I'd have to agree with this as a generalization. If you are looking for something that will offer better performance and still save some cash. Look for a used set of coilovers on the boards rather than making a lateral move.

Hell, just buy some pillow mounts.

The reason many use the OEM mounts is a DOT loop hole. Exactly what that is I don't know.

Care to shed some more light on these coilovers?
T1R did quite the research on this coilover to make it a good all around street/track coilover. They physically used an S2000 to do the research and development on the B-Max. It can handle a track weekend just fine. If all you do is track though you will probably want to look elsewhere. With 6 settings, I'm sure one would be able to find an almost perfect balance. I've been told that with the setting on two, it feels very similar to the stock setup. For a street setup, I think the B-max will be an improvement over the already great stock setup. Also, at the price point of the T1R, I think it's hard to beat and with AJ Racing behind you, it's a winning combination for you and piece of mind. When traveling at 130 mph, the last thing you want to say to yourself is, "I hope my suspension can handle this." AJ Racing also sells Buddy Club so I'm sure they too can shed some light on this subject about Megan and Buddy Club. I know they had told me that Buddy Club is no longer made in Japan.

Definitely contact Ben or Dickson though at AJ Racing to find out more about all the R&D that went into these.

I just recently put on the buddy club race spec dampers, and they were good soft and stiff. for $1300, its not a bad deal.

Anyone have a review for the Apexi N1 Evolution? I did a search and all I came up with was this post, but no review. Thanks
