They are really good, they are local to San Diego and all of us locals rock their parts. They aren't one of those fly-by-night parts shops, they love drifting and make really good quality parts.

yeah 10/8 is not bad at all. but if you want to use 9/7 it should be fine w/o revalving just don't max them out on the stiffest setting.

They are stiff. From soft to hard, it's basically stiff to stiffer to stiffest. That's pretty much how Dan said these were built, softest setting on these is what most coilover's hardest setting are. I daily drive my car, and I always have them on the softest setting. I love them, and don't regret getting them. Yesterday I drove the car around on the stiffest setting all around, and it was stiff, but not jaw-breaking.

Yes, But remember. You need it to be soft on the rear sometimes to get more grip..

yeah... keyword is SOMETIMES! since you already got swift springs at 9/7 you could allways swap out the rears so it will be softer.

make up for the lack of grip with bigger tires if you find it that stiff. i prefer stiffer with bigger tires... i feel like i have more control. but if the driver is really good i think they do it differently, like look at forsbergs z, it has a lot of body roll for more grip becuase he can control the fuck out of that car. so it just depends i think for learning/amatuer shit stiffer is better

I concur. It's all preference. My car has stiff springs 10/8 but I'm running a soft dampening. So I get a decent amount of roll. To me It feels perfect. While other cars I've driven/ felt had easier initiation but to me feedback wasn't there. You just need to find the right balance.

Another big part is how much preload your car has as well as you have your roll center set. Alignment it key.


I plan on picking up MAX coils for my FC to see how I like them once they are released.
