from what I read doing a search, they have various spring rates, and the drop can be anywhere from a minor drop to a big drop.
I also read theyre the same thing as ksports, so do a little research on them, i know info about those are everywhere.

i have them on my dc4, and they are great. you can adjust dampening h/s and also the hight. im dropped probably 2.75 inches maybe 3. I cant remember my spring rates. stiff as you would expect on the ride, but it isnt tooo bad, and i drive it every day. yes i heard they are the same as ksports and the same as d2?

I was impressed by their ability to be lowered via the shock and not the spring. Thus being able to lower without sacrificing ride quality. Is this what you did or did you lower both? What are your shocks set to?

This is the third thread I've responded to about these coilovers in 4 Days. Please do a little research next time.

I have them on my 97Gs. I love the way they ride to a T. I called Andy and BodyKitsNW (A local HT Sponsor) and discussed with him what I did and didn't want it to ride like. He seemed to know his **** and set me up with a 8k/5k Setup.

It rides like this. I have them set on the stiffest setting. And you can tell it's aftermarket but the bouncing or waving is almost minimal. Little to no body roll in the corners. Coupled with a camber kit in the front and rear and cornerwieghted this is the best suspension I ever had.

I put them on in January and we went through 2 months of snow/salt. I dialed them down at the beginning of the month. Sprayed some chain lube just to help out and they went down like they were new.

The Instructions suck *** but if you plan on doing it yourself I think you already know what your doing.

In this picture. I can still go down another 1.121 IN the front and 1.260 In the rear

I tried to use the search but it wouldn't work. JHP has them for 700+free shipping but their spring rates are 13k/6k. That seems a little crazy for me. How much are they through bodykitsnw?

I paid 754 To my door from BodykitsNW. Also Andy gave me an option which sounded great. You get your system and don't like the ride you can exchange springs by paying for just the shipping each way. The downside is your car would be down for a few days but its better than having to deal with it or buy a new set-up.

If yours is a DC2/4 I recommend the 8/5k blindly. I haven't used any other set-ups by I know the way mine rides and I love it.

I ordered a set from jhp. The ones bodykits nw are selling aren't function and form. Not that they don't sound bad, I've just never heard of them. I'll post my feedback once I get them on.
