Tell me, how is $1200 a lot for coils? Coils generally run from $800 to $1700. In fact I was going to get the Tein Flex, but I opted for the B&Gs from reviews on 6th and 7th gen forums. That and you can't beat a LIFETIME warranty.

Any ways, I'm not here to justify the cost of what I purchased, I'm just confused by the response when I know others have paid more for a similar setup.

Looking forward to installing them tomorrow

Yeah I'm not entirely sure why everyone keeps bringing up price.. coilovers are pricey.

I hope they ride well, I think my sedan is in dire need of a drop.

Quick update - those fronts are a PAIN in my a$$!! I've got pics, but I've got to compile all the info and take some more that I missed. I'll be making a separate thread for the DIY when it's all done (hopefully by Sat evening).

Oh....and the front looks HOT 2.5" lower Of course I don't think it's going to stay that low this early in playing with them - it just made it easier to put the assembly in.

FYI, I am all done and exhausted. It's quite a task to take without another set of hands. Especially since this is the first time I've done such a job.

Any ways, I won't have the DIY done tonight, but here's some quick snaps I made after making sure everything was good:




Front wheel well spacing:


Rear wheel well spacing:
