English please? They look hoaky huh? But its a hundred bucks? My other thought is Z1 has a full kit for 5-6hundred. But that's gonna be some time before I could afford that.

Also asking around seeing if there is a way to adjust my kit lower. Still not happy with the height.

lol, did they test it mathematically to work under the given loads, saying its drift tested is not really a proper way of testing imo. But they are probably fine just me nitpicking.

I dont know man personally IMHO i think when it comes down to suspension, brakes, and tires those are kind of what keeps your car safe and i would not cheap out in those areas. Why not go SPC for the rears and Kintix for the front? If i remember correctly you can have everything you need for around 5 bills, and atleast its a proven product.

Pun intended.
Drop looks good bro, but you'll deffinitly need a rear camber kit, or at least a aftermarket toe bolt. The factory toe arm/bolt gives minimum play, I couldn't even get a good alignment when I was on Z stechs

Well I have $90 ebay rear camber arms, and I beat the holy-hell out of them on the dragon's tail with 3 people in the car, and not once did a back tire fly off as we went skidding to imminent death... So that's pretty good, right?

The kinetix fronts are total crap from what I've read. They look pretty hokey as well.

Everyones leaning towards spc so I'll probably have to save that up. Just hard to justify two car payments. But I don't want to be fing things up either. Ahhh decisions
