What coilovers are those? I like the orange color!

Boy when I got my coilovers a few years back, the only thing available was the Tein CS and JIC flta2's.

there are lots of similar/generic brands around these days, i was of the impression K-Sport is another one of those. some do have subtle difference but not a lot. all i would question is the longevity of them when being worked hard. but probably on a daily they would be all okay.

that said at least in Australia, something liek these K-Sport work out at a similar price to some Japanese coilovers and i would prefer the Jap branded stuff myself e.g. JIC etc.
