Question DG-5 Suspension Kit Info?

Has anyone heard about DG-5 Suspension Kit? Just wondering if anyone has ran these on the street besides Chris Forsberg @ Formula D. here is a couple things i saw in some site, let me know what you guys think.
http://www.dg-5.co.jp/
http://www.driftspeed.com/index.php?main_page=dg_5

Experience a new dimension of capabilities for grip or drift.
Lead by Keiichi Tsuchia, suspension specialists developed DG-5, and it was the beginning of a legacy.

"If you change your suspension, it must be fun to drive afterwards."
"With driving techniques evolving we must constantly be able o adapt to stay victorious"
"DG-5 gives that edge to be triumphant even against the toughest of rivals"
Keiichi "Drift King" Tsuchiya

During the design, testing, and re-designing of these products, the DG-5 team adopted these words as guiding principles. To this day we still adhere to these maxims. Although power is important, the true key to better lap times in circuit racing lies in the suspension of the vehicles. DG-5 was created to cheer on those drivers who continually strive to be the best. DG-5 products are designed to bring out your full potential to raise you to victory

The DG-5 suspension kit was designed and tested by the Drift King Tsuchiya himself in collaboration with Swing Springs for drift and high level racing.


Features
- 30 Step damper adjustable
- Enhanced strength utilising a 50/60mm diameter cylinder
- Superior strength steel bracket with urethane
- Adjustable upper mounts for applicable models
- Additional helper/traction spring for improved tractability
- Highest quality Swift 65mm springs


Note
- Please specify spring rate for custom kits in the order comments

- Full specification and other models available from the DG-5 website.

cool bro, upon reading what you posted regarding the DG-5 i wouldnt doubt their quality since many Japanese companies take pride and are disciplined with their R & D..like what ive seen with Tomei

good luck though either way if you have the money id get them

coo thanks man, yeah i did a lil bit more research on them, and they are suppose to be the next big thing, plus they are using Swift Springs. Zeal use to use Swift Springs, till about 2 years ago. Swift Had a great set up but was only offered in the UK and Japan, but had 2 sets of coilovers here with Colin @SWIFT SPRING in ontario. Yeah thanks man, well if anyone runs them give us any type of updates. As the the Kbee's they work best with the Swift Spring helpers, it makes the ride quality much comfortable. Thank man!

Wow, sounds good. I did a little bit of research and a couple of the D1 driver are running this set up, and have been for the last couple years for the r&d. For the last couple of years the top drivers in the competition have been running these coilovers. Almost all the D1 driver use Swift Springs on there car’s. Good R&D and the Swift Spring set up make a killer Coilover, just like when Zeal had Swift on the coilovers. Thanks for the feed back. It does seem that these are worth it and are great quality.
