After reading through a bunch of this thread seems like we have a battle between ebay and topspeed..... so I have to ask the question... anyone sporting these from Concept Z. They sell the MDUs as well?

They all come from the same place in china...if you play with the pre-load and such you can get these to go pretty low. Top speed claims otherwise but that has been proven to not be the truth. If you have problems with these you will have to wait for them to send you a replacement from china which is what topspeed offers as a warranty. Ordering directly through ebay from china you have to pay for the replacement. If you look through the items that "racingfirst" on ebay sells they are a ton of the exact same products that topspeed sells for the most part for our cars

How do you lower the rear to go lower ? I have the spring in the bucket all the way down, and as for the strut I made it short as possible when I installed it

Jae35 is right.
The new MDU's dont drop that much. I just installed a brand new set that just came fresh from china on my cousins z today. We went with a true setup in the rear. MAXED OUT all four corners.. The ride height was above the tire just like that blue Z a few pages back.
We didnt mess with the preload to make it go lower or anything but it is possible to make it lower with these coils.

I have ebay version that I purchased last summer. I DD my car around 40 miles one way and these coils are not for daily driving. These are awesome for show given the price but if you like to take your car into some aggressive cornering I would go with something else. I'm switching to KW Variant 3 and will have mine for sale (given they are in good condition). I did have to replace a few rear struts. It seems like people were having issues with rear driver side, I was no different. So, in my own opinion, they are good for show not track/dd. Racingfirst was very good about replacing even a year after I purchased (I just received a brand new shock a month ago). Buy at your own risk

Yeah my cousin said he eats it every time when there is a slight dip on the road =\ stock shocks are stiffer. But hey it lowered it like how he wanted.

These will slam the car...
We maxed out the front and the rears (true setup) and this was our result

My friend with a 350z and TEIN Basic lowers more in the front

Maybe it's sedans only because I have 2 inches to go in the rear and 3-4 in the front. My current stance

I almost bought a used set of mdus (true set up)
I thought the true set up mdu coils could go LOOOWWWW without messing with preload? . I heard swang n bang were running mdus and those guys are lowwww
