I googled it, and found nothing....

Ask the guy where he bought them from... I've heard of some really stupid names, but this one takes the cake.

Why do people do this? Just stick with the proven stuff please. Keep our community at a respectful level.

If you want shitty coilovers, go buy something colorful. If you want good dampers, work more, save money, and then buy at least Koni/GC or better.

If you just wanna drop your ******* car, buy springs.

The only risky thing going on is you considering something a guy pulled out of his TSX.

I totally understand what you guys were saying. They came out of a tsx which is why I asked. I was curious if anyone else ever heard of them, I have no idea where there produced Im going to do some re-search just because I would like to know. And I know what junk looks like. I do have a set of H&R springs on koni yellows and they ride good. I was just searching around and found these. I would of went with a Tein SS 1 piece coil over setup which is about $700 + but I picked these " risky " set up just to try them out. It was a price I couldnt pass up. So Ill post some pictures for those who are interested in seeing what these look like. And Ill let you all know how these ride next year.
