there seems to be some confusion, MDU are not a brand they are the type of coilovers ts pro-1 sells. hopefully that helps a bit

OP do you have pics of coils installed?
Unfortunately, no. I didn't take any while I was installing them. I'll try to snap some next week when I do my oil change.

I might try that or just wait until I get toe arms.. But for now, they're low enough for me.

they are all from china. thats why topspeed has no definite date when they will be back in stock, customs could delay shipment

they sells fast!! perhaps i will wait to see how other people feel about this products after they've installed it on their cars. It seems like there is a lot of people on the list! hopefully we get more reviews. it worries me that these coilovers are made in China. Although it is $560 i still expected it to be in good or okay quality since many people here recommended it.

The yellow ones seem like the same design as the orange ones but quality looks better on the orange.. the welds weren't that bad in the ones I bought

mdu is just the codename for these...topspeed sells the coils branded mdu by their feature of adjustable damper...so does racingfirst on ebay lol...topspeed says the ones sold on ebay are knock-offs but the quality on both seem crazy similar...what works in advantage for top speeds is a serviceable warranty *replacement when needed for a year*

they are all the same. they all come from china. they are budget coilovers and alot of people like them. not saying they are the best, and you might get bad seals within a couple months, but thats the risk you take with budget coilovers. there is a thread on g35driver that explains everything about these coilovers. its kinda like the xo2 exhaust that sells on ebay. same exhaust just different vendor and name.

yea i dug deep into that a while back...not sure if they got around that by now..i know the racingfirst guy seems cool, he'll sell them by the pair as well for 300 shipped and will provide replacements but its 150 per sense the shipping is crazy
