They are apparently made in Holland, I've spoken with Keith @ Jamex NZ a few times, he seems to think they rate up against the Tein S-Tech springs, just don't have a huge following here in NZ. Seem cheap though! Just as all springs, remember that you are shortening the height the shock sits at, increasing pressure inside the shock making the inside seals more vulnerable to leaking as they are constantly under more pressure. But stock shocks are cheap anyway

LOL of course he's going to say that. I haven't heard anything good about them & just doing a quick search on here there's a few old thread where people had fitted them & weren't that impressed. Personally I think you'd be better off hunting on TM for some 2nd hand Japanese brand name springs. |

given it is cheap i am definitely suspicious - what about Vogtland springs? they are made in germany so that's a good start

I agree, I had some RSR springs on my old skyline, they were awesome. there was a set of RSR altezza ti2000 springs on shocks selling cheap on TM recently. I was very tempted but went with tein adjustables in the end. these were them, i think they were $150 for the set... the sale fell through so might pay to keep an eye out for them http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-227259429.htm |
