Okay, just to clarify; I'm not going to be the person you deal with. I was just going to pass your contact to the certified H&R dealer and have them call you and go from there.

These deals usually happen around this time every year, and companies try to clear out their taxable inventory by the end of June. This is how I got my Maya wheels last year.

Needless to say, I've placed my order in today for them. So you'll be getting them the same time as I do if you order.

f*ck i wish i had some extra money for this. you can easily make a $200 profit in the market place with these at that price. i'd totally be in but the drop isn't as aggressive as i'm gonna want when i get coils. i want the tein flex. i think they go almost up to -3"

It's a shame you can't find more detailed specs on them, although being from H&R I doubt there's anything wrong with them. I do wonder what the spring rates are, and also if they're a true coilover design or not? Didn't see any vendors selling them on the forums, or any used ones in the classifieds.

they're oem style in the rear, if you look at the rear shocks and the mounting pucks, you can tell its not a true coilover set up. i wouldn't be buying them if they were a true coilover design

They are true coilover design. The spring rates I am not sure of, it is the 350z kit that they have been designing for years. So if you can find information on the interwebs on their 350z kit, the spring rates would be that.

I'll do some digging for more info.

wait, its a true coilover design? it sure doesn't look like that in the pic i posted, the rear damper isn't threaded, and there isn't a spring mount. can you confirm this, cause i don't want it if its a true coilover design.


here's another pic:

If those pics are accurate, and that's the application for our cars, then it's NOT a true coilover design in the rear....which is fine. Most aren't.
