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.

I admit I'm a real novice when it comes to coilovers. I guess I was comparing these to some other kits I've seen that go for well over $2000. I think the Koni wet kit (?) option was about $1000, so I figured these were going to be $1500+.

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.

perfect. was a little worried before about the height. one of my reason for coils was to lift it up a bit for the winter. looking good. cant wait for these things to be done. i'm guess the 12k spring is longer too compared to the first set?

Humm, actually the shock was longer. I am finding out if I can put the 10k on there. Like I said the 12k might be alittle stiff for people.

yea, thats what i was getting at. i know they sent u a longer shock,but if the springs are the same size, the 10k would probably be better.

I'd be interested as well. I just hope that the final ones will be ok for daily driving and not super stiff. I have 350z H-techs now and don't want much more stiff than that.

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
