because they are new and special order. Call in and ask for Darren or Han. Ask for the coil over set Jeremy Ordered for his tc, the HKS RS setup. They will know exactly what your talking about

Finally! The drive....
I was able to take a 60 mile trip thismorning on them.... All I can say is WOW. These literally have to be the best set of coilovers I have ever used. They are not harsh at all but more than stiff enough to carve corners. The hotchkis bars couples with them is the perfect match!After some twisties and fun I settled on #12 for front and #6 rear for damping "rear damping even though much higher on the setting is much more lax than the monster fronts" They really helped bring driver feedback to the steering wheel. Steering responce is killer. I just cannot say enough. I cannot reccomend them any higher. The spring rate is perfect. I am SOOOO glad I did not go with anything stiffer than this. Ride quality is simply perfect in my opinion.

Man i am on this FO SHOW.. i was going with the H&R Coils, but man these sound nice, and i have heard nothing but good things on the HKS performance and quality. What was the cost you paid for them.. Please atleast post an estimated price so we know.... Thanks..
Again we should ask for the RS Setup that is specific to yours, since the spring rates are different than the regular set-up... thanks for your info bro, and i look forward to your pics, and MORE INFO on how they handle...
-----------------------------------------------------------edit
wait.............
I just noticed on the HKS site that they are 1895!!!! Thats crazy for coils for the tc.. i really hope they are not that high???!!! No coils are worth that much, and do not take that much to make.. Development, yes...which mught be the reason the prices are so high to make up for the cost in developing these.. But seriously, common... PLEASE DONT BE THAT HIGH.. 1200 might be high but a better price. H&R's might be my better choice, under $1000 shipped...

They are not that high, that is manufacturers suggested retail. I cannot post what I bought them for for I am not a typical customer for them. I would guess a normal street price of around $1500 or so. I just drove 1000 miles to the new mexico alien nation show, the drive was amazing on them. I kept hearing the other drivers on k-sports and the like complaining about every bump in the road and blah blah... I did not feel 99% of what they were talking about *LOL* Also my spring rates are not custom, they are what directly come on the set. Just order the HKS rs coilovers and you will get the same setup as I.

Hey guys! Intensescion.com now has the setup on there website for a MASSIVE discount! Worth every penny as I feel they are far superior to any other set I have tried out on the tc including k-sport, teins or spring / strut combos. You will NOT be sorry you forked out a bit more cash for them!

Do not know the specs offhand sorry! Will try to find the info on them. They are more performance oriented, not slammed lowrider style coilovers if that helps at all....

I do not own both so I cannot compare sorry! I can say they are the best overall coilovers I have used for a street car. They are not to stiff or to soft & damping is perfect when adjusted right.
