Ok, I'm contemplating selling my D-Drug coils, about 5,000 miles on them, a couple track days, I had the wheels off recently and no signs of blowing and they still feel like day one. I'm considering going in a different route, and decided I want to see if I can get what I think I can for them. if you don't know what they look like...

As an aside, I have friends with JIC Fla2's, mismatched cusco/ tanabe's, and brand new K-sports. mine ride the best by far.

$900 plus shipping, msrp is around $1300 iirc.

Ok, they can be in a box being sent to you this next week if you require shipping. If you are in the mid-atlantic area and coming to the US drift event at VIR this weekend, come along for a ride and see how nice they are!!

Is this obo?? Also, how many track miles do you have on them?? Aslo, are those external reservoirs on the bottom half?? Any shock dynos of these??

Thanks.

1) obo to a certain extent
2) like 2 track days, not too much
3) Yes, those are external reservoirs. I don't have any shock dyno's, but the butt dyno says they're pretty rad, lol. They are a short stroke coilover, so the car will sit low, but there is the extra fluid there so it won't be under dampened.

you've got to be kidding me right? You're asking for a shock dyno!? 99% of the people on this forum don't even know what one is, much less understand how to read it. Get a life.

Maybe he knows how to read a shock dyno, who knows. This is one coilover besides some crazy expensive/custom something that has a remote shock resevoir, so it is understandable to want a shock dyno, but take my word for it, and the theory behind having the extra fluid, they are dampened well and never feel under dampened.

Thanks for your criticism. But some people on here buy parts because of serious research, not bandwagonism (yes, I know, no such word). Thank you very much.

Yeah, thats why I asked for a shock dyno as I was going to compare it to SPL and the koni yellows in dampening characteristics. But, noticing the external reservoirs, I was thinking this was a bit better than just the regular coilovers.

What are the rebuild status on these?? Can it be done stateside?? And how is the down time compared to something like KTS (when they just send you a new set of dampers/shocks)??
