To be honest, I've never heard of them. and for 309$, I'm not too sure about the quality.

Granted, I don't know them, they may be just fine, but I'd think, if you're going for any true "performance", I'd go with a different set.

But if it's just for looks, then maybe do some more research and see what turns up.that price is frieking tempting

I saw these on ebay, I would get them if I was building a show car. But I would take their warning of not using it on a daily driven car. I'm sure they put that on there because they haven't tested and or been DOT approved. But they also can be good quality parts. Only way to find out it to try them. but ask your self if the danger worth it to you .

yea i jsut read the other thread after posting this sorry.
my friend heard about them and said its an ebay company and alot of vdubs used them and they got good reveiws so they started makin them for other cars.
309 seems way to cheap for coilovers tho.

90 percent of the time car parts are over priced. and a lot of time people pass up really good deals because they think stuff is cheap just because that copany isn't marking up the price on something.

just think about this. you can have one company that makes the same part. then sells it to 3 other company's for lets say 100 $
Company is really well know. but putting their name out there cost a lot of money so that part that cost them 100$ they sell for 500 $ to make up for all their over head.
Company 2 . isn't that well know but is starting to get a lot of busnisse. They want to get to the level of company 1 so they sell the same part for 400 $ tell everyone its the same quility as the best parts sold by company 1. Same part for 100$ savings. and they get more costumers
Now you have Company 3 they are a local company. Sell to very few people. but sell enuff to make a good profit. and have very little overhead. They have the same part as Company 1 and 2. but they only sell for 200$ they just made 100 percent profit. but a lot of people outside the local area won't buy from them becasue they haven't head their name before. Same produce but cheaper priced.. which one would you buy ?

Think about the quality of the materials that go into producing at that price. Are you willing to test your luck on a generic, budget coilover?
