I have these same BC's on my car - 12/10 combo. I am no expert- but they definitely meet my needs and seem quality despite the price. Our roads here are crap and nothing has broken - I haven't had to go buy twice yet. I bought it off the guy selling in the Market Place- Rej Works Engineering or something like that. They seem quite popular with the Evo crowd too.

I recently adjusted the fronts to 3 clicks from hardest and the car has really settled in nicely - the ride is way better now - none of that over bouncy crap I was getting before. I guess I was under dampened.

And my teeth are all in tact Either these are not 12/10 (they are stamped so though) or 12/10 kg springs are not as bad as many of the experts on here make them out to be.

Thanks for your input from an actual user, you've echoed exactly what i've read from others. I will be purchasing them, for HALF the cost of most others.

Fair enough.

My comment was based on 12/6kg/mm spring rate NOT 12/10kg/mm.

Let us know your feedback.

I think the issue here is that owners are sceptical of anything that isn't at least 60% more than it should cost.

Case point would be center gravity vs wim vs a n other geo specialist. Just because you leave wheels in motion or a n other place without remortgaging the house it doesn't mean you have had inferior service.

Chances are these coilovers are identical or built on the same production line as other coilovers that people on here have spent over a grand on.

I dis-agree. I think you pay for what you get on some items, like coilovers. Thats not saying these coilovers arn't going to be any good, because I haven't read any reviews on them.

Cusco braces would be a better example. I would say the copys are just as good as the originals, but half the price.

You bought Cusco ARB's over whiteline, even though the Whitelines where alot cheaper, it's just the same as that IMO.
People make their own summary as to wether it's worth paying the extra money.

agreed, but thats the same with all coilies so not really a point about the BC's just a point in general correct?
My point was they could have a harsh ride.

No, just sceptical of the quality of shocks which are offered with such daft spring rates. If an owner wants some cheap shocks (i.e. <
