Default What kind of coilovers are these?

Hey guys just curious if you could tell me what kind of coilovers these are? A member had them for sale on here and I picked them up for a very reasonable price. I thought they were bc racing, and a few other members said they were bc racing, but now after looking at them and comparing they look different. Ive noticed theres no bracketry to attach the brake lines to like in the bc racing ones, and ive noticed the rear springs have a different type of adjuster... Maybe these are older gen bc racing?

There are no brands whatsoever on them... maybe they are knockoffs :P

Thanks for any help.

I notice the adjustment **** are different too, they are gold and just say H and L with arrows. Seems to be only 15 levels of adjustment as well. The BC racing coils seem to have a upper and lower seat for the rear spring where as these only have one seat, im assuming the top, which allows height adjustment....

so puzzled... what are these?!!?!

That lower mounting perch on one of the front coilovers looks bent? They look cheap.

could they be the VRT coilovers?

LOL

I can't pinpoint them.

the cheap brands are:

D2
Stance
Megan
BC
>insert ebay store<

and they look like BC out of all of them, but they aren't. the collars are really thin and if that arm is bent I don't know if I would run them.

The bend didnt effect the shock or anything important. Yea I have no clue what these are... they are installed and look/work pretty nice.. gotta fine tune and adjust them. I wish i could get some info on these.. so odd.

acutally im like positive that is kbee 15 way adjustable, rear spring mounting, black and gold, and the warning sign is in black n gold. Seeing how you got them for a reasonable price makes me even more sure that they are Kbee, decent coilovers to say the least though.
