i'm sure they're built with quality,

but yeah.. if you're not getting adjustable damping with that setup.. its too much cash imo.

they're dual heigh adjustable though, which is a must at that pricerange, which is good,
i'm sure even if they arent damping adjustable they'll probably feel great at whatever they're set at.

whatever you say to justify spending that kind of money on a product not tested.

If it was so good, why don't the Honda racers (HC, NASA, etc) run them

its fine that you are happy with your purchase, but it is just a taiwan made suspension, not euorpe. and how good is taiwan made suspension? they are good for street use. for track? let take a look at how many track are in taiwan, there is only one small track. so i let all of you guy decide how good is the damping and rebounding of the suspension.

again, this suspension kit DOES NOT worth 1500, open any taiwanese car magazine, you can find them for almost half price. by the way, they are out three years ago.

Seriously, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I read through this thread. But to comment on the lack of adjustable dampening, in another post he explains--or someone explains for him--why Omnipower coilovers are not damper adjustable and why it sometimes is not necessary or beneficial. I can't remember the thread or how I even found it, but I know it's floating around on H-T. I will say that those DTM coilovers look beefy, but as pointed out, you don't hear about too many Honda track racers using that setup. Post a review when they're on. And BTW, shouldn't you have done some research on DTM coilovers for Hondas before dropping $1500? Only logical, no?

What's an "autocross car"?

And for $1500, I'd buy a set of Phase II Truechoice coilovers and some new tires.

he did ask for you to critisize him of what YOU would buy he asked if anybody has heard good or bad things about this set up.

I for one have heard nothing about them but they look to be quality, keep us posted when they come in...

What does it matter? I was merely pointing out that a proven suspension can be had for less than these coilovers, which seem to have no reputation.

I would never spend that kind of cash on an untested product.

And for that much, you damn well better be a good autoxer/road racer, or really into doing it for fun... and not driving down the street everyday, because that is really just a waste of money.

Shock adjustments make a HUGE difference in the handling of a car, there is no "one" setting that will work out, that's bullshit.

For $1500, I'd have revalved Konis and 650/550s or so. Or Buddy Club RS w/ custom springs... or or or...

but hey, bling bling, right?

why would you buy a product whose company revolves around cars whose suspension is setup totally different anyways!?

Oh yeah, the more it costs the better it is, right??

Why not get Moton you broke *** bitch

Are you sure you're not confusing this Taiwanese company "DTM" with the DTM racing series in Europe?

i found its funny that people are so confused by the name DTM. this DTM from the beginning is a company which selling rims and some performance parts in taiwan.(their products are not bad, but again, i can't understand people are willing to pay almost twice the price just because somebody bring them in and raise the price up). the other DTM is a race series in euorpe and another company which sell highend products for euorpian cars only.

argh... glad you're happy with your purchase...

but stop right there,
thats the most empty statement ever.
wtf does "ride better" mean,
you mean they're more comfortable?

ahh.. i'm not going to delve any deeper into this..
