Update. So instead of sending me a new lower mount, they sent me a new shock and spring. Sorry I did not take pics of the shock, but its about 2 inches longer. The spring they sent me is a 12k spring.
When I put it on, I had it pretty much raise all the way and it was close to stock. 3 finger gap, but I am not sure how you guys will like the ride. Its stiff when it set on soft, but not jarring stiff. Set them on hard and its jarring stiff.
I have not lowered it all the way yet but hopefully soon. But I am liking the ride, but like I said I am not sure if some of you guys will. I emailed to see if the 10k spring will work.
Work in progress. Also I asked them when these will be out. They said as soon as we get it to work it would be 4-6 weeks after and the cost is still not final but 1100 or less.

$1100 is not a steal, its on par with most entry level coilovers out there.
entry level tein basic that is only height is about 800$, the next couple ones with damper adjustments are $1500.
I'm sure ksport has a setup as well, they are normally sub $1000.
$1000 is what i had in mind when it was all said a done, we don't exactly have a option so we cant price match or anything.
if you can possibly ask about the warranty on the kit... If it can go back to stock height, i would love it so i dont have to remove the coilovers every winter.

Remember guys, I think when these finally do come out there might be a group buy.
Here is a pic of the newer version I have. This is the front raised up, but not all the way. I think it could go a half to an inch more. It was a 3 finger gap.
I didnt adjust the rears that much, but will try this weekend. Then I will see how far it goes down.

Tein comfort sports are 7kg/7kg would love to have something similiar as i've haven't heard too many negatives on that. But we do have a bit more weight due to the AWD so i figure maybe need to go +1
Tein basics are 9kg/9kg
stock non -sports sedans are about 5K fronts / 5.5 rears and sports suspension is 5.5 fronts and rear 6k
