I know there's alot of controversy on an inexspensive set of coilovers but i have to admit.. For an inexpensive set i've heard good enough things to go ahead and pull the trigger. I own an S14 and bought these to replace a blown set of tokico's and some unknown springs. To make it short it was definately a night and day difference.

Now to go into specifics (no pics just yet):

I'm not a suspension fanboy, i've never owned a set of STANCE or high end coilovers as much as i'd love to. My last 350z i've had a set of Tein Basics which was more than enough for what I was looking for. Just to give everyone a perspective from who's giving the review. I'm an average user pretty much. The car is never tracked.

Build: I like what I saw when I opened the box. They looked very solid. Came out the box as one piece. The springs and the seats are adjustable and looked like they have plenty of height adjustability.

Install: Install was straightforward. I observed 3 flaws.

- The passenger side brake line bracket was warped. I could not get to use the OEM clips to attach the line since it was messed up. Nothing that a few zipties can't fix

- The seat body (or w/e you call it) are painted. Needless to say after installing, bolting them on, adjusting them, etc, the paint definately chipped on some areas of the seat.

- The rear. The body is probably thicker than most coilover sets. I've ran into clearance issues. The rear toe rod bolt touches the body. But didn't notice any discrepancy during driving. The drivers side cleared so i'm thinking maybe an alignment will probably fix it, or a shorter toe rod bolt.

Other than that they seem great. Definately went low enough. I'll post pics later.

Drive: Out for the test drive. No noises, no clunks. The car definately felt more solid on the road. They are very streetable. Not too stiff at all.

For the money i'd say they are a buy. I'll keep posting impressions as time passes by.
