What spring rates do you have for the rear as a true coilover and please post pics of how you set it up. ( please remove wheel to post pics)

I've had the MDU's for a little over a year, and they go low. I do think that the fronts weren't preloaded properly, because I get a clunk from the strut bottoming out when I hit a hard bump, but it's far and few between (once a month on pothole ridden florida roads). I setup the rears in true coil fashion, and haven't had any problems with them. It's impossible to change the ride tension on the rears without taking them out, so make sure you set what you want the first time. I haven't had any shock leak and the ride is pretty smooth; very comparable to stock.

I didn't change the load significantly on the front. I've added some preload to alleviate the bottoming out issue, but it was no more than one or two turns. I guess I was lucky, cause I picked these up before they got popular. I paid $330 shipped, and for that price, these things rock. I'm not an extremely spirited driver, but today my carbonetics lsd goes in and my first drift event will be in October for this car, I'll post back to tell everyone how it goes.
I will say that going that low is not necessarily a good thing. As of now, it's impossible to remove my transmission without a plasma torch because I hit a manhole that flattened one of the trans mount bolts. I've also lost part of my undershield, and it's impossible to get over speed bumps, so I have to go out of my way to drive around them. My front bumper looks like a beaten hooker after a good night out, and the underside of my car has met the road more times than I'd like, but it looks pretty ****.

^^ ding ding
same here....and i was told they werent like godspeed that makes the clunk noise...guess i should try and be careful where i buy my things now...
Good: They go low enough IMO and make your car look and feel a bit tighter.
They are 600$
Bad: Customer service
They are noisy and clunky.
They are too bouncy.
They are not pair with the other cheap 800$ megans etc, they are pair with the other 500-600$ coilover...
all and all they do there job to get your car low and handle 20% better with the exception of being too clunky and noisy....
my overall 2 cents

Dude...seriously. Bad customer service?????? You received nothing less than THE BEST customer service...as does everyone that conducts business with Top Speed.
You are always acting like such a little "Toddlers & Tiara's" pissy-pants cry-baby drama queen.
Does anyone on here take you seriously? All you seem to know how to do is b!tch & moan...b!tch & moan...b!tch & moan.
All you have done is chime in on any post that is any way states something less-than-100% favorable about us...or anyone else.
It seems like all you live for is to stir up negativity. Are you the neighborhood gossip where you live too?
You must be a very a unhappy person...and I predict you will not live a long life because of it.
Oh yeah, and please do not resort to making perverted cracks about my Mom again like you did the last time I outed you like this. It makes you sound like you're 13 years old...

You seem to only want to dwell on negatives, not on positives.
We have MANY very satisfied drivers enjoying our products. However, NO product is 100% fool-proof 100% of the time. Any product made by human hands is subject to some percentage, no matter how small, of some possible error or defect. The manner in which a company addresses, accepts responsibility, and deals with a problem when it arises is a true measure of their worth. Top Speed has a great reputation for doing what is right when needed.
Mature adults will realize this and cut said company some slack when they see them doing what is right...not keep chiming in to try to make the situation worse...like you have on many occasions.
I am beginning to wonder if you work for one of our competitors and are here to try and undermine our business...
If YOU have a concern, bring it to out attention and we will work to resolve the matter. But if someone else voices a concern, your jumping on the band wagon, to try to further a negative mob mentality, serves no worthwhile purpose...so why do it?
It's like you ordering food at a restaurant and getting your order perfect, but then when you over-hear about some else's order being messed up, you stand up and yell, "Yeah, this place sucks! WTF???" Look, if YOUR order wasn't messed up, then just what is your complaint?
If we delivered you a fine product, then enjoy it. If you are unhappy with it, tell us and let us make it right.
If all you live for is to complain, please grow up and find a more worthwhile endeavor for your time and energy.
