I have them on my 4 door.

It's been sitting in the driveway with them installed for about 5 months or so.
I have yet to drive it.

So much more to be done to jus get it running!

Maybe just a couple more weeks (I hope).

i have never seen anything like that before.
might have to try and make a pair.
seems like they would give a nice stiffer feel.
will post if I make.

i saw a set of them on taiwans ebay site a few years back...

i dont see any on there now, so it must be they are unpopular enough to buy in the states now.

It's actually A-Sports, not A-Spec. Their site is http://www.AutoAdvance-Inc.co.jp.

And the US distributor for their A-Sports is http://www.RcrewRacing.com. Get all your A-Sports stuff there...

That's because that's the wrond manufacturer.
You don't want "Mr.Alex" ones.
You want the A-Sport ones.

I'll make you a set that looks EXACTLY like the A-sport ones for $400... and I'll even include shipping with that price!

$400?

I wouldn't pay $150 for them. I can make my own for that cheaper.
