Marc, I think you should summon some threads from the dead.

Very good suspension. Here's a short review from Chris N after he test drove it:

I can't wait to get on gingerman with Wai at the helm in october.
Or better yet... maybe me at the helm for a session or a few laps to really see what Wai's dampers/springs feel like.

They are amazing on the street. 20 minute drive to northstar motorsports the other day was great. I couldn't believe what i was driving on!!

I think Marc said his contact will be in Hong Kong for 2 months.
2 months = time to save

I highly highly recommend this suspension. Very reasonably priced with great performance. I seriously plan on getting an extra set just for spare parts when I race next year (maybe just the front).

But something to keep in mind tho, the valving is designed for the typical JDM setup (heavier spring in front) so it might not be optimal for the common US setup with stiffer springs in the rear.

I'm interested in a set of those.

Meanwhile, time to search on whether the JDM biased valving will be a problem.

I guess it won't be too much of a problem because there many people with JDM coilovers who swap their springs front and rear and make it "rear stiff". Looks like it works fine. Just make sure you spend time and adjust the settings accordingly.

Marc is at the Glen right now. Hopefully he would see this thread when he comes back and give out prices. Bump!
