Default spec R full coilovers, anyone have any info on these!?

HMM, just found these full coilovers here https://www.gt-motorsports.com..._1463
dont think i've heard of them. but the price is MIGHTY tempting,
and it seems like a professional site. the product doesnt look like its built with shotty quality.

but I want to find otu more about it.
if it has a shortened shockbody/pistonrod then i'm definetely buying these!
they're 12way adjustable, with a helper spring and only 600!!

any info would be appreciated

damn , what the hell? I wish I would have saw these and add them into my options... I just ordered skunk 2 springs and Illumina adjustables.. and it was almost 200 more...

but sometimes price reflects quality... i don't know...

Those are OBX, I saw them at the SEMA show, not really worth the money

Just my .02 cents

Well I paid about $780 for everything. My springs are here but the shocks will be here this week. IMO, I would rather get something that is totally adjustable with the option to switch parts out if I want... i.e. if I wan't different springs or different shocks, I"m not stuck having to use something out of the kit.

I know what I'm getting now, so I'm happy. But it's also my personal opinion. Some other people have the SS and think that they are great. I heard a lot of people complaining about corosion. I live in Wisconsin, so that's a factor too.
