i wouldnt... drove them on a skyline and really didnt like them... look on fduk contact jit (he also on here) has a mint set of FEED coilovers for sale!

Those ER ones are well priced. Haven\'t any experience of these tho, sorry.  I run Nitrons.

the thing is i want a good road setup thats not overly hard that can be wound up for the 3-4 track days i do. from what ive heard about feed setups they are norm on the hard side.
also as far as the skyline was concerned what was it that you didnt like about them???? was it a product issue or just the way the chap had them setup??

Have a read on some other forums, like the MLR - I\'m sure somebody on there had a problem with them failing on track. I don\'t think they\'re made to the highest standard from what I understand, but they are cheap!

No personal experience you understand, but I have read stuff in the past on other forums with varying opinions.

they are cheaply made they are crashy and hard as hell! been told the feed ones jit has are really nice on road and track...

in the skyline no matter what we did they just felt horrible...

up to you but i would look for something better even secondhand you will end up buying twice if you go with these or anything else cheap like k sport or meister r etc...

I have read one bit of info on Meister R, they sounded to be of better construction than the BC ones and the guy who makes (or imports?) them seemed knowledgeable and willing to answer questions.

hmmm not sure what to do. i dont want to get second hand ones again i\'m looking for something new that im not paying loads for the name but are adjustable and made well enough for what i want. bear in mind i only do 2k miles a year in this car.
 
ive been on the mlr website and there are a few people that have issues with crashing which has apparently been addressed now with a new top mount and a single failure(on a track day by a hard driver who has a reputation for the way he drives  :)  ) but also lots of posts of people that are very happy with them and have done track days and fast road use.
 
ahhhhh i hate suspension to many alternatives

I always find it strange that so many people who have never tried anything like to condem it!
 
I have these fitted to my rex, I fitted these after having fitted a set to a powerful Supra. They are well made, fit perfectly, are easy to adjust, and have more settings than you can use.
 
I am a track day chap, and once you have them set to your type of driving (as with all set ups) you will not be disapointed. In the past I have wasted thousands of pounds on well named brands which have spoilt the feel of the car, and have "blown" in no time.
 
Go for it, you won\'t be disapointed

i have these on my car. havent had any problems with these and are still in perfect condition after a lot of winter driving on salty roads. the adjustment is brilliant, if you feel its too soft just turn it up a little at a time until you find the right setting for you.
 
If you cant make your mind up on them just look at the money you will have saved from buying some suspension like Tiens, which are twice the price!

this is what i have been looking for tbh nice road setup that i can make a little firmer when needed for track days. and considering you can get a full set for £550 delivered it seems to make sense when you can easily end up paying £3-400 for a 10 year old named brand that may have seen better days.
 
out of interest what spring rates did you guys get when you ordered them??

If I remember correctly mine came factory recomended, ( what they say on their web site) for Gods sake don\'t go any harder!

i was thinking about going for one of the slightly softer setups tbh. just didnt know what people have. i already have uprated racing beat anti roll bar which keeps the car flat on corners so just want nice controled suspension that i can stiffen up via the shockers for the odd track day. also bear in mind most of my driving is on country roads in dorset which arent exactley the smoothest lol

cyman

has anyone else had these fitted with some feedback for me?? just about to take the plunge but keep getting feedback from fduk that they are crashy and that peeps are reccomening the hsds instead but they are another 300 quid.
 
i wish buying suspension didnt make my head want to go pop  :D:D
