If the one pair of spring rates is 140lbs, that's pretty darn soft. How much are they going for?

Well, I've never heard about them, so I can't say for sure. Some things I noticed were:
-soft springs (I'm guessing)
-height adjustment is by changing the spring preload, not my personal favorite, limits shock travel
-may or may not be damping adjustable, can't tell
-may or may not require rebuilding, as they look sort of old

well, i dont believe those shocks have anything to do with Eibach. perhaps resident eibach experts can confirm. the "ERS" is another acronym, NOT meaning "EIBACH RACE SPRING", which wouldnt make sense, plus the "potenza" name is a bridgestone trademark.

anyway, quick search shows some japanese car with these coilovers.

i guess he likes em enough to specify them on his car....

interesting bumpstop design.

is there any shock adjustment?
