I could actually get it for $1000 for you. Who quoted the $1200?

It said $1200 on the 88rotor website. $1000 sounds great

I'm not too familiar with the Starke coils. How do they ride compared to stock and what setting do you have it tuned to? They're listed for $1199.99 on the 88rotors website.

EDIT: LOL you beat me to it ;p but yeah, $1k sounds good!!

Hey David I wanted to ask you what you didnt like about your Megans. What I noticed when I looked at both coilovers ( Starke and Megan) they have the exact same specifications. Same spring rates, damper stroke and overall length. I know some companies use better valves and oil. I generally feel like you get what you pay for but I have never heard of Starke. What are you thinking??

sounds like you'll have a similar experience with other coilovers too.

the roads in AZ are as smooth as glass. I had my GS dropped to the max on my Tein CST coils and the ride was still decent . I just hated the tire wear

Not really feeling the look and how much camber is the rear of all these cars. Makes them look kind of funny. But i do love the design of the wheels very nice and the drop also.

The owner went aggressive on the drop, but in the end the camber is just a part of the package. Its the nature of the beast. I actually think it looks cool as long as its not looking like those VIP guys in Japan where you look at the cars camber and you wonder how the hell it even drives like that
