Default New coils :)

So after much much much research through forums and locals I finally decided today and rather than just lowering springs I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought some Starke SS coilovers from my local shop SPS Autosports here in Tucson, AZ they will be here Thurs and hopefully if all goes well should be installed by friday afternoon, will post pics then and decide on spacers... What do you all think of this coils?

Never heard of these. Wonder if it's another brand out of the factories in Taiwan? Name sounds German though.

Yeah they are european, I got them for $800, there's an actual thread on here from awhile ago from other is drivers that say are pretty damn good for the price but not if you are looking for a really stiff ride this can almost feel like stock smoothness yet with better handling

They look just like my function form type II but in gold and not red ha ha

Are they adjustable rebound, dampening and ride height?

Bro thats a sick look, but im sure being that low upfront there's many places you cant go, how do you take speed bumps Im military and here on base we have a few speed bumps getting on base... And did that drop give you a better fuel economy?

Yeah there are many places that I can't take my car to. My driveway is one of them
I had to build 10ft long ramps to be able to pull my car into the driveway. I have the front lip on so that doesn't help much with ground clearance ha ha.

Idk about fuel economy. I don't keep track of that but I did notice that MPG went to ****** after I installed the twin turbo kit. I love hearing the turbos spool.

well I guess I will have to make sure I can get into my driveway lol but If I have to will sacrifice and build a ramp as well where did you get your lip from? I was looking at the seibon carbon one, but the look I want is more like what you have in carbon... I guess I will start by getting rid of the wheel gap first and then see how much lower I can go before it gets to hard to drive over speed bumps and I bet those turbos sound nice, my local shop is already trying to convince me on a 2j swap, once I pay it off first.
