they are VERY expensive, probably one of the more expensive on the market.

i forget specs, but email RS*R and find out.

new or used?
of the s-chassis: they only make coilovers for s14 and s15
NO s13

ya i got a s14...

here's the info that he gave me... I figure that they are used. My bad its about a grand, not 950 like i said.

RS*R coilover kit: $994 shipped. Helper springs, front camber adjustable pillow mounts, & factory preset strut/spring rates. Settings are determined by Orido Manabu (Drift King`s right hand man at D1 and GT300/GT500). If he can drift/race with them, so can you.

I have to order within 2 days if i want them, so i cant wait for a reply by the company, what do they retail for? good buy?

2K+ or so..not 100% sure..
its rebound AND damper adjustale, so if you adjust it wrong, you'll blow up the shock!!!!

RS*R is relatively pricy

With the ultimate suspension set up in mind, this coil over setup houses dual port 46mm pistons in an oil filled casing to which compression and rebound can be independently adjusted.

Those coilovers sound SO tasty. 46mm piston is HUGE. I bet they ride SO smooth.

46mm sounds close to the same diameter as the fork tubes on my old GSXR. If you've ever seen them, there pretty beefy for a bike, more so even for a car. :eek:

Dousan...you should write a little article or comparison on piston sizes on different coilovers(to put in FAQ maybe). Since most ads and websites don't even list the juicy details like piston size, etc. All they list is 16 way adjust, height adjust, pillow mount, blah, blah blah, what every other CO has, Blea bLah! I hate uninformative websites or ads.

its really hard finding info for most companies. i just read up and research as much as i can..fortunately i get like drift tengoku and such and they do reviews on a ot of newparts..so for new stuff, i an usually find out..old stuff, thats where the contacts and leg work come into play..

write up sounsd like a lot of work...
