I actually just picked up a set of these last week. I should have them on in a few weeks time. I plan on doing a couple track events this summer. I am excited to see how they compare to the stock 08 setup .

I have a Set of bc racing coils on my 08 with 16k front springs and 12k rear. I like how it handles more than stock but would like more travel in the shock itself

That's a bold statement no one who tracks a car would say.

The bad news about the Asian manufacturers is their products are inconsistent at best. Suspension is pay to play. Ohlins, Penske, Moton, and Bilstein are top shelf. They have no peers. You will find them on serious competition vehicles and you won't find the other brands. They also cost a lot more than anything else, but they work consistently better too.

So it all depends on what you want to do. If it's just drive around town and lower your car, anything will be OK. If you want mechanical performance, you'd better be ready to pony up some serious cash for the stuff that delivers.

I know they build a lot of drift cars. Vossen wheels also uses them to create custom coil overs for all of their show cars. This is why it always seems amazing that they can lower a car for SEMA that just came out right before the show
