I disagree. It all depends on your application. I have my share of coilover systems from top tier to OEM brands and I honestly can't say ride quality is a singular factor to that of one brand vs. the other; especially for street driving.

Ride quality for daily driving is really dependent on your spring rate, shock travel, wheel size, tires size and pressure.

To compare apples to apples, a set of top tier (HKS, TEIN, Greedy, etc) compared to an OEM brand (Megan, Apex, etc.), will perform similarly for daily street users; given the same spring rate and shock travel. (Independent shock adjustability is recommended if you want to go really low without sacrificing ride quality).

For track or drift events, spring rates plus compression, rebound, decompression will be a HUGE factor and that is where the more advance systems come in for technical driving.

some people would rather spend the $200 extra to KNOW for a fact theyll get their warranty instead of risking it with a vendor in a different country but yeah some of us including me took that risk with the Chinese seller..im happy so far. =]

I havnt seen if you have any pics up or if you have 20s yet but i would do 19s..20s don't look right on most of our g35s..some guys oull it off well with the right body kits and slammed but if you only want a low drop id do 19s..but again its your car just giving my 2 cents...and the info on the ebay sellers page is wrong..he does not offer different spring rates..I checked months ago when I ordered mine..he said he thought he was able to but its not possible for him to get the higeher spring rates for us...

Ok well that's just my opinion..I think 20s are too big for our cars but if they look good on yours more power to ya..good luck on your search for coilovers..the mdus are good for the price or you can always wait for a good deal on some used bc racing..there's some form and function 2 on the for sale thread if they aren't sold yet..
