Before you buy them search, there is 2 threads about them
heres one. https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/blackworks-coilovers-2698683/

Almost a year and BWRSUPPORT/Charlie has yet post the shock dyno's he promies multiple times, 9 times out of 10 when a question is asked he just vanishes.

I have never owned them but my friend did and they were disapointing, not to metion one of them blew rahter quickly. I HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend you look else where for coiloves.

Well i have the skunk2 slip on coilovers. Im not totally disapointed with them. They are great other then can ride pretty rough.

the skunk2 pro s is a good coilover setup for the money. I think the just release the skunk2 pros 2 or something like that. How much money do you have to spend?

im tryna spend no more than 800 on suspension. i just want a comfortable stiff ride, not streetracer, possibly autox later. the skunk2s im talking about are on passwordjdm its a full coilover system with adj. height just not dampening for around 650. i was gonna go D2 but im tryna get suspension and traction bar for around 1000.

if your budget is 800, im pretty sure you can do the koni/GC setup everyone raves about.

i personally run PIC APEX P1's.

i visually compared BWR's to PIC's and the BWR's just look cheap.

Koni/gc fits that, but honestly i think its a tiny bit more.
I wouldnt reccomend D2, i have seen way to many threads about them breaking.
