Actually the initial MDU coils mentioned in this thread are different than the ones listed on eBay now.

The previous ones members were able to slam with no issues. I PM'd the seller on eBay about how much of a drop can I do, and this is what I got

"Dear borealisdiamond,

Hello, sir, thanks for your interest, the high adjustment of front is 40mm, the high adjustment of rear is 50mm.

- racingfirst"

That's like what? 1.5 front and a bit less than 2 at the back?
High adjustment meaning max adjustment?

You can go as low as possible really with any coil it's how much stiffness you wanna run and no it's not your talking about the one that had problems that's not what they are talking about there just in a different color now same coils look at the rates they go down on the old page result and the one now and your eBay coils are not the same by the way that's why you have different rates

I can definitely confirm the coils on eBay are the same that top speed sells and that something has changed in the manufacturing as they go no where close to as low as they used to...I would not buy them..eventhough I did Lol, and the dampening sucks

OMG phew. I read that whole thing in one bit. It was kind of hard to read man. Use some commas and periods so we understand what you're saying!

Had these coils before I switched over to BC coils.

Honestly, you can't beat the price of these coilovers. It definitely gets the job done and drops the car. You can make it lower then what it can do, if you know how to.

The only downside about these coils, is that its only meant for show and not for track use. The dampening on these things kinda suck if you drive aggressively but if you go with the true style in the rear, then it should ride a lot better. BUT, still not idea for track use.

I switched to BC coils and it uses the OEM style (spring bucket) and the ride is freaking awesome.

Its really all about the dampening honestly to make a comfortable ride. Something I feel that the MDU coils lack.

See you don't have a convincing fight behind you just because you have had a bad experience with them doesn't mean some one else needs to or will or maybe your one of the ones in the back order line and want yours sooner and are just trying to get people to back out

I'm mobile right now but both companies are shipping out the yellow ones...there's a guy on my350 that ordered out of china...top speed also gets theirs from overseas and recently lowered the price from 799 to 549...they don't go half as low as they used to.
