I bought these coilovers a while ago and have put roughly 1500 miles on them. I opted for the "super low kit" with 18k/16k F/R.
The install went smoothly; I followed the preloading instructions and got the height where I wanted it. The shock being significantly shorter than my old Godspeeds gave me much more clearance by the axle boot up front.
They ride nicely and seem to be well made. With the springrate being so high, they're obviously stiff over bumpy roads but during normal driving on smoother roads they don't feel anywhere near as stiff as I expected (previous setup was 18k springs on cheap coilovers). The damping adjustment is helpful; I run 3 clicks softer than the middle setting up front and just left them how they shipped in the rear.
I do have two minor concerns:
1: The lower mount up front seems to be 1-2mm too wide. I torqued the bolts to OEM specs and the gap closed, but I don't love that I had to basically "squeeze" them onto the knuckle. I may install shims if I can find the correct size.
2: The included front springs were 180mm which I immediately found out was too short for the height I wanted. I test fit 150mm springs which gave me more room to lower the shock assembly.
I think that with a softer springrate, a shorter spring might have encountered binding issues, but with 18k in the front I don't think it gets anywhere near close to binding. The wheel hits the frame/wheelwell before the suspension travels enough to bind.
Overall, I think they're very worth it for the price. At $1300, they're a much better value than the coilovers in the ~$900 price range that I have tried. I will buy another set in the future.
