Hit up Grant(yokotas13), via pm, and I'm sure he'll give you some feedback. IIRC he ran their coilovers on his s13 @ 1 time.

and?
you cant see what matters, the inside
valving of the dampers is important. while these arent spot on, they are on the better part of the selection ive used on the track

im just saying, i mean im not bashing them but they are of relative price to ksports meaning that they possibly get there valving from the same place. Although not the best they are probably suitable for most people who track there car every once in a while.

1. 32 way dampening
2. Aluminum upper pillow ball mount (mirror finish)
3. Durable spring rates 4 kgs. - 20 kgs.
4. Superb 52mm monotube design, providing consistent
and stable dampening-- even under high speed runs.

Instead of rebuilding, buy new

then trade all components to
new strut.
