They are made by the same company that makes the Megan Racing coilovers.

http://www.bcec.com.tw

I wrote a detailed review of the Megan coilovers recently in this section of the board.

honestly, why in God's name do you need 32 way adjustable?

especially for the fact that it's not offering independent adjustment of compression and rebound SEPARATELY...........

I've yet to see more than a small handful of systems offer separate compression/rebound adjustment for the Z...and those are the ones I'd go with over these other type setups.

True 32 way is probably more then anyone needs. This is a good price on a set of coilovers. Doesn't mean I'm getting them. Personally I'm going for Swift Springs and Tokico 16 way shocks.

well, my basic point is, 32 way is just a selling point, and people that know anything about suspension think 32 is useless. Especially since it's most likely only rebound adjustment or compression adjustment. In order to take full advantage of the system it should have separate adjustments. I could see maybe 16 way, 8 compression and 8 rebound adjustments, being very helpful........oh well.

I'm probably just going to go the Nismo route anyways haha

I understand what you mean about it being a selling point. For most people they are never going to change their initial setting anyways. Like I said I'm going swift/tokico personally. The Swift springs have the exact rates I want and a good drop. Plus its a relatively cheap setup at $~850

...made by the same company as MEGAN racing coilovers?!

...made in TAIWAN?!

...I thought Apexi made all of their stuff in-house in Japan... since when did they start outsourcing to taiwan? Could anyone please confirm this information, or maybe a quote on any website? I too was interested in these coilovers, but not if they are comparable to megan... the old Apexi N1's were great...
