Does anyone have a web site for them?
For the price I think they are very good coilovers. Adjustable Camber in the front is a HUGE bonus. Dont think anyone else offers Camber Plates with Pillow mounts at this price. Should be interesting as the springs are progressive. I have never seen to many progressive coilovers.
Big downside. No shock damaning adjustablilty. I wouldnt give up the shock adjustability for anything.
They are ride high adjustable though.
If you need to place to buy them I think the Autocarparts.com or digitalracer.com in the links section sells them.
They also make two better models. The FLT-2 and the FLT-A2.

The Apexi-World Sports are good coilovers as well, but they don't have pillow ball mounts. But from what I heard, they have good streetability.
Mark, do you think the progressive rate springs are the reason that the coilovers dont have ride adj?

What is the pillow ball mount going to do for me? I have heard that a lot and no one can explain to me what its going to do...Do I really need that?
Aldo do the Apex-i coilover have damping adjustments?
The Apexi WS coilover is an affordable REAL coilover set for about $900-$1000. The offer no damping, although they do offer ride height adjustability. I would go with these before any spring shock combo so you can have matched springs and shox. For the price they are alot better then a spring shock combo IMHO.
Pillow Mounts are a better way of connecting your suspension to your car. They replace the rubber that is usually connecting your car to your suspension. By doing this you get more response from the road and it will be a little more harsh for the street but IMHO its very worth it. They also help keep your suspension on the road, and isn't that what we all want.
Grant: What coilover are you talking about? The JIC don't offer it because its their starter model of coilovers. They have two other coilovers offered that have dampening. Progressive rate springs don't really help all that much, just add a little more of a softer bounce, and riding on both Linier and Progressive springs I am still undecided as to which I like better. I am thinking Linier though, but its hard to tell since I went from a Progressive Spring Shock Combo with a 300 spring rate to a Linier Coilover Setup with a 800 spring rate.
I am still undecided as to which coilovers I am going to get for my 240. I want a stiff spring rate for street, but not track stiff. Like a 500 spring rate or somewhere around there. I have narrowed it down to the HKS units from Japan that have dampening on all 4 coilovers. Or the Zeal's that offer a street tuned spring rate. I am still not sure because I don't think the Zeal's offer Camber Plates. I will let everyone know what coilovers I decide to go with.
