Well, im buying back my old R1 that i recently sold, but its coming back with Kei Office coilovers. Does anyone have any input on these? I have been told they are SUPER STIFF, and can adj. spring rate, height, and damper. Supposed to be for a drift setup. Anyhow, does anyone have these on an FD? what do you think about them, how do you like them.. and what are they worth?



btw.. if you dont know what im talkin about here is a link.. im not sure what model is on the car, http://www.kei-office.co.jp/lineup/suspention.html

Not all kei-office ones are drift ones. They alright but tend to leak quick!!!

I "hear" they're pretty nice. Keep in mind, I don't think they have any US office or support. So if something needs to be replaced, it's gotta come straight from Japan.
