Hm... 40 dollars more and i got 1 year replacement? it seems worth it though.

None of the people with those coilovers have reported that the OEM bolt didn't fit in one of the rear coilover?

We used a drill to make it bigger.. I could have gotten a smaller bolt but instead went with drilling it so it's a bigger/stronger bolt.

Isn't the G and Z suspension interchangeable?

^ good one darkknight. But if you get yours first, get them up. I think it would be cool if we could make a legit thread on these with the install.

Here is my car with MDU from eBay, rears are set OEM WITH OUT locking collars, and fronts are set 2 inches shorter than Hotckis spings, fronts are still adjustable I need to lower 1/2 maybe 1 full inch more.. Rears are maxed out unless I go true coilover set up then I bet I can go lower.. I'm also hoping the springs settle a bit more

That looks pretty Low to me. Nice almost perfect height.

Couple questions:

How long have you had them on your car? And if you can post up your overall Review of them. Would be helpful.
