thought I'd duck in and say howdy all! Bought mine new in July of '10, I've added a Roto-Fab CAI, PTB, catch can and a Hurst STS plus I've done some custom paint in the engine bay and even some trunk mods. Build thread link is my sig pic if you want to see more!

I've actually been looking for some coilovers and that's a great price for some quality coilovers!
They have been great! A little on the springy side, but in a pot-hole riddled town like Tucson, AZ they have done really well. Handling is better and the look can't be beat. They've finally settled and I think I will bring the back up a couple turns just to give a more symmetrical look.

They use the OEM top hats, so the fronts are real easy to get to being right in the engine bay. Backs are another story. The DIY thats here on the forum for these, the guy drilled 2 and a half inch holes in his trunk to have the extended cable come up. Since I don't have a rear sway bar and there are so many potholes here, I just set them to soft before I installed the rears.

They aren't cheap at all! They've held up beautifully as I have gotten use to the lowered stance. With my lead foot and finally remembering to slow down over speed bumps about a week later, and when I thought I was going to put my shifter through the roof, I think I've put them through a hearty test!

Okay tell us which model did you get and how to get them at their site can't find the shop online section.

I wish we were. We didn't quite adjust our tax withholdings properly after our first year of marriage, so no we have to pay in. No fun.

Now we know better.

Only reason I am getting so much is cause I had to pay college tuition and apparently I get like 10% of it back so don't feel too bad.

I sure as hell better get back 10% of my tuition! I can see why psychologists charge so much, we're in debt from before day one! Sweet deal though!
