$500 dorra shipped huh.
That's a little too cheap.
Can't help but be skeptical, especially since its eGay.
I've never heard of C8, maybe other people on these forums have..
From what i read, it seems legitimate.. but if I were you, man i would just wait.
Save up and get some real coils. You'll sleep better at night, and your car will too. Trust me.
edit: and their spring rates are retarded wtf?

8/8 spring rates don't seem stiff
most of the companies out there are running 8/6
PBM is the stiffest factory w/ 10/8
they look like kport/Megans generally cheap garbage

I wouldn't waste my money on that garbage.
My car had D2's once (because it came with them), And then I replaced those shitbags with stance.
NIGHT /DAY
Support the good companies, not the taiwan knock offs!

couldn't agree more... as said PO of those D2s, they are garbage and were only purchased to set ride height during the building process.

If you havnt heard of the brand thats a bad sign. Its gatta be very hard to just develope a company that has the ability to produce a qaulity coilover system. It takes time and some R&D is real nice too.

the description says enough. "90-94" .... i guess the company only likes one year zenki and not the 89'...

I did some R&D for a company that made a coilover that looked EXACTLY like that. The biggest problem is the lower bracket. On the opposite of the spindles bolts, there are 2 bolts that are supposed to support the lower bracket, but it ends up being a weakspot. My friend had a similar set up on his STI, and he broke the bracket after 2 laps at Willow Springs.

But guys listen to this story doesn't it just inspire you to buy their shit? J/k just save up and get something better ie something tested and with some R&D put into it.
THE CORNER EIGHT STORY
The motions are predictable, if not already etched in your sub-conscious memory. Sure-footed, you mentally rehearse the game plan:
Wide Open Throttle Uphill. Heavy on the Brakes. Quick Left, then Quick Right Downhill.
And just like that, you confidently captured the moment of Corner Eight (C8).
