Never heard of them (Id say they probably go pretty low if they are made in Japan)...but if you buy a set of coil covers...than I want your set-up now!

Yup thats me

I wouldnt waste my money on them. Everytime I've called they've always had excuses and this last time they tried to say I was adjusting my coilover height wrong. Very poor quality product. I'm ticked I wasted my money. I'm about to buy some Teins. Google K-Sport problems and you'll be shocked.

Thanks Guys, I am looking for a very very low coilover strut to build an air system on.

TJW98LS, I will be selling my old set-up to a local Socal person because I will include installation with sale price.
