Default Greddy Type S coilovers

anyone have these on their cars? I did a search and found less than 4 threads with info on these. I want to try something different than everyone else. They seem to have 32 away adjustable settings. Greddy said that it will have a comfortable ride but i doubt this on most coilover systems. I want to see if people who actually have them have anything good to say. Any drawbacks?

yeah, a person PM'd me saying that even when they are at the stiffest setting, they are really soft.

what would you suggest that would be very smooth on the road besides the HKS RS?

maybe on Toyo's they feel soft, but they are anything but soft on more performance oriented tires

There are lots....search the threads, its really been discussed to death at this point

KW V2/V3
Cusco Zero2
Bilstein PSS9

These are among the best riding out there, and enough adjustment to make them a great handling setup as well - HKS RS are no longer made

I have been searching and it's seems every coilover system will have a person saying the opposite so it's not really helping. I was asking you since you probably see a lot of sets up day in and day out on the same vehicle and can make a better judgement.

I've posted my thoughts many many times already - all the info you need is out there, trust me

I have them and I am very happy with them. But this is the only coilover setup I have ever had, so there is not much I can compare it to...
