Default NPG and Racing Gear Coilovers

Hi I found deals for both of these different brands...I had never heard of either of them.
I found out that NPG coilovers are very jdm through forums couldn't find a direct site...Would I have trouble getting these locally serviced since there not known here (if thats true). Also how decent are these compared to tein basics or what?

Along with Racing Gear are these any good? I heard these were more for performance.

Thank,
Nick

I dont think there are many people on here running these as both are pretty much jdm. Im pretty sure the npg coilovers have a blistin dampers so they might be able to be repaired. I think i know what coilovers ur looking at and they both look like they have been used pretty good. And the one said they seen quite a bit of track time. And one of the does not even have adj. damper so if u just looking to lower the car u could get brand new springs for less that these.
Imo it would be best to just save up for tein or others that have alot of feedback for. Personally im saving for stance that run around 1300.00

If u get'em i hope they work good for u.

Buying used shocks, coilovers, and so on is always iffy especially if they can not be rebuilt. I know which ones you are talking about too lol personally I wouldn't spend money on either of the ones he's selling. I think racing gears were just the another re-branded lower class set-up.

RGs went for like $500 shipped NPGs were removed. Those RGs looked pretty beat I wonder how much life they have left in them.
