Default Does anyone know what coilovers these are???????

Hey guys,

just wondering if anyone knows what kind of coilovers these are?

They are definitely Japan made as they have Japanese writing on them, but I cant find a name brand, someone I did work for has offered these to me in trade for payment and im thinking of getting them, but id really like to know what make they are so i could find out their retail value and if they are good enough quality.

There is some writing on the springs but I cant quite make out what they are.

Thanks alot ,

So thats what they are, from those pics i couldnt make it out either.
Researching around seems like those are pretty stiff if thats what your going for.

yea joey i was reading the same thing,,,people say they are super stiff ,,great for drifting but maybe not so great for daily driving, I also found out they were only like $699.00 brand new so I dont think they were top of the line.

thanks man

If they are the ones in the picture stay away... I went to the importer in Mississauga and had them for $200 but turned them down because they were in rough shape, bushings worn right out of them and can no longer be serviced by kei

those are a very quality made coilover and are very very popular with slammed drift cars before pbm and stance started taking the market

No problem, the more research on them the more i read about mixed reviews, people say they are good some say they arent. Not sure how big the job your doing for the trade, if its not that big of a job and the coilovers are in good shape maby have these around for spares. If its a huge job i wouldnt bother. Another thing is if they brake where are you going to find replacments for them or have them rebuilt since they are no longer in business/discontinued.

Where are these at? id like to pick them up. Im not even a huge fan of drifting or anything but they are made by keiichi tsuchiya's company according to wikipedia (he is who they call drift king) I imagine them to be of highest quality if they are made by one of the guys who helped make drifting what it is today.

Kei Office made quality parts. I had these coilovers on my s14 and they were a solid ride. I've had stance, gab, tanabe, tein and others and they were definitely quality made. If you don't get these id be happy to take them!
