Personally speaking, they seem like the kind of mid to low grade coilover you'd get from several manufacturers coming from the same Chinese plant (Function&Form, D2, K-Sport, Megan, Rokkor, Raceland, and several others).
Okay I didn't know they were all for the place, does that mean that one is as uncomfortable as the next cause I need to get rid of my rock soild TA coilover's soon and can't get my hands on any other coilovers you suggested

Oh, you can do what you like, as I'm no expert on what you should/shouldn't do with your money. But, they appear to be something along the lines of your low-grade budget coilover that won't provide much in the longterm.

They are a decent coilover, especially if you swing for the Swift spring option.

Hi I just joined this, lol but I'm planning on getting some circuit 8 rotas for my daily em2 and they're 16x8. Are they too small? Perfect? If anyone can drop pics that'd be helpful thanks

Just realized I haven't update any pics of my car on here since I only had it for a couple months!




Done much much more to it since then, looking pretty good and expecting to pick up some enkeis tomorrow!

March 26, 2016 was when I first got this car and got it detailed the first day after deciding on keeping it 😊 Peep those OEM Clear headlights though My car sat in the drive way for acouple of days until I got it registered but this was basically after I got my Megan racing coils and 16" rota c8's on. Next few pics are just me messing with height and such
Messing with height 🙄🙄
Finally got it to where I liked it 😅
This was after months of patiently waiting to get my Rear 05 bumper, side skirts, and front lip out of the paint shop so I took them to my dads shop to install em! (I put the rear bumper on before going to the shop just to please myself)
This was once I got everything installed, car needed a clean wash... At this point I was happy with how it looked but decided to post the wheels up and the next day had them sold...

Hey! 5 lug wheels? Yup, I finally was able to buy my dream wheels, the over used RPF1's. Have no pics of the install sadly but I later on picked up the 5 lug swap off a dc5 and installed it the week after and was happy with the results of how it looked ! Specs: 17x8 (front) 17x9 (rear) This is when it was sitting for a couple of days due to the fact that I needed to find a right side e brake cable because the one off the conversion was bad. In the last two pictures is how it sits as of now. Thanks for looking through my build, it's nothing special or nothing near to a show car but i am proud to call it my car, if you have any questions or just want to check out later progress on the car you can reach me via social media on Instagram @Javierf0o or on here is always fine

2002 EM2 EX 127K dropped on TEIN Street Advance Coilovers.

I am running TEIN street advance coil overs on my EM2 and I am down to the lowest setting. Ride is comfortable as can be on an even road. However, on bumpy roads you are going to feel them. I think this is normal for any car you drop, there's not enough travel in the suspension for you to have a smooth ride over bumps, it's just the way it is IMO.

Going stealth mode with my exhaust. Painted it matte black today!
