I have heard of them(Not for the RSX) but I am not sure on how they perform. What are you going to be needing these for? I looked at the description and seems like a normal set of coilovers, the only problem I see is price. For $1,000 I feel a lot more research should go into it. i would try and call them up to get more information about it. Looks nice though. They would match my color scheme.

Link to Yonaka website.

My buddy rocked a Yonaka intercooler for 3 years with no problems. Different ballgame than suspension, but at least it's some feedback lol

Default Yonaka

Found them on a website going for 6 bills. Description below is from the site. The price is good. Lookin for a decent suspension for street use. It is also my daily. But I dont need anything for the track or straight racing.



Yonaka has stepped up to the plate with one of the best performing and best looking coilover kit available. The Yonaka Coilover Kit is made with ultra strong aluminum upper mounts which are of higher quality and rust resistance than standard upper mounts. Each Yonaka coilover kit comes with an inner bump stop which helps prevent damage to the shocks during bumps such as potholes. Many times when you install other suspension systems, you need to actually cut the bump stop, or remove it completely in order for it to function correctly. Yonaka suspension systems feature a full bump stop! These coilovers also come with a rubber dust shield to help protect the piston from dirt, water, grime and other contaminants that can reduce the life of your suspension system. The fully threaded Mono Tube shock is not adjustable like the typical coilover kits. These coilovers actually adjust by expanding and contracting the shock body as opposed to compressing the spring. This means you can have your car completely slammed at a 4 inch drop, and have the same suspension travel! These shocks are height adjustable, with a pre-set shock stiffness from Yonaka.

I thought their products looked pretty sick until I saw this...

"Yonaka (YO-NAA-KAA) is the Japanese word for Midnight -- the combination of the two words "YORU" which means night and NAKA which means the middle.

Technically, Yonaka means "middle of the night" but most japanese people understand it as late night, usually midnight until about 2:00am.
Our full name in Japanese is, Yonaka Hashiri-Ma, which when literally translated means roughly "middle of the night car racing maniacs".

The term Motorsports is widely understood in Japan with the same meaning it has in North America. "


They really like the middle of the night car maniacs stuff.. haha.

i was thinking about getting a yonaka coilover kit. around $500
http://www.statracing.com/buy/yonaka-coilover-kit.asp

or

getting some kyb shocks and a ground control coilover kit. probably around $550

Ok just to point it out to you but you are posting in the EP3/DC5 forum...

But if I had to choose I would go with the ground controls but with Koni Yellows! Save up the money... do it right or don't do it at all!!!!!!
