Smile 326 power coilover need review about them

I'm trying decide to get 326 power coilovers or pbm coilovers.

But I can't find much review about 326 power coilovers, so I made this thread to see if y'all ever had them or know much about them?

Be nice to have y'all feedback

Don't believe anyone has ordered them yet. I was going to purchase a set but they are quite expensive. Blame it on the exchange rate :/

I have PBM and they are practically the best depending on what type of driving style you're going after

Idk where you can even find where to buy them through, but they'll be more expensive than the pbm. 326power is all about being low and not bottoming out, so for our heavy cars, the spring rates front and rear should be colossal and exaggerated, far higher than the pbm.

Just remember stiffer spring rate, less suspension travel = harsher ride.

Probably better off getting the pbm's

You just have to email 326 from their site and they respond fast with prices. My friend just got some camber plates from 326, wasn't expensive and he got the parts within a week from Japan.

Im trying to go pretty low, heard they were made for that stance.

I was thinking about getting either 20k/16k or 24k/18k spring rate.
But im not sure anymore thinking it to high.

PBMs will allow you to go as low as you want.

That will be one stiff ride my friend. The PBM should be fine. Not unless u don't want to have a comfortable ride at all

my PBM'ss are 18k/16k i beleive, and they are as stiff as id ever want. but I actually drive my car. if you just want to go for the low and slow then i guess as stiff as possible is what you need.

I got a email back, just to show everybody else who interest in them.
So the setup I want cost about $2,100 total shipped

So there*is*32K spec*+s pillow upper is recommended to attach 20/16*K springs.*
32K specs +s with*pillow upper is**160,000 JPY,
Spring*20K is 13,000 JPY,
Spring 16K is 12,000 JPY.*
Total of the price of product is 185,000 JPY+25,000 shipping cost to the U.S. by sea.
Total is 210,000 JPY (approximately*2,100 USD/changes due to the exhcange rate)
