I bought the coilovers a few months back now and have managed to do just over 1000 miles on them and really cannot fault them at all, a great peice of kit!

Delivery-10/10
Very quick as always from tegiwa, the parcel came very well boxed and packaged. Not a single item was scratched or damaged in transit which is hard to get these days. Heres what turned up at my door one afternoon [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

And as you can see they are packaged well

Inspection and build up-10/10
As soon as i started pulling bits out of the box i knew that this was a serious and well made bit of kit, welds were tidy, threads cut and finished neat, painted and anodized parts all pinished perfectly. The kit comes with averything you will need for fitting including different sized spacers, washers, bolts track rod ends dust caps/adjusters EVERYTHING!
Ill let the pics do the talking.

Fitting and feel-9.5/10
Fitting these little beautys was a peice o pi$$ and could be done by any budding mechanic who knows the difference between a paperclip and a spanner,all holes lined up perfectly with no rubbing or hammering! The only thing i found was the brake line retainer needed a wee tweak to get the line at the right angle but not a big problem. By god they do look ace in the arch aswell.
Dropping the car down saw not much need for adjustment so i let her settle in for a few miles before fettling with the ride height. I set the dampers to 8-10 and the car felt great, around the softness of OEM without the chashyness. The car was ran on 22-25 and the handling is quite simply superb. Only downside i have noticed is i have lost a little of my turning circle but hey its a CTR its pants anyway, some pics of fitting.

Overall i rate them 10/10 and would buy them again in a flash, not your usual bc or meister and i think that is a good thing, If you want an affordable coilover for road/track you wont be dissapointed. ps i cant spell as im a thick aunt

So you would rate these as a superb piece of kit then mate? Yeah? I've been looking an think they look the dogs danglies to be honest! Not a common choice either which makes it more of a plus for me don't like to follow on in trends to be fair. How you finding them they still as good as they were when forst fitted? Reason I ask is I had coilies on my mk1 focus they were great for first few months then intolerablely crap lol

Much appreciated mate
