any reviews on Rotary Works coilovers?pics?
#4
Rotary works makes some good parts (Ti. nuts bolts studs and billet T.B.) but honestly these parts look like Chinese junk from the low quality pics and price. If someone has them and would like to review that would be great I’m very interested too.

I dont have a set but i'd consider buying them.
Simply because i dont give a damn about anything but being low and having adjustment of my ride height, spring preload and dapening to some degree.
Plus, Rene is cool.

Powered By Max coilovers are pretty slick

and they sell replacement dampers too.
Those Rotary Works look like they lack camber adjustment, and that is a pretty extreme spring rate. I think that info right there is enough to consider looking elsewhere.

12k/8k holy **** thats stiff lol
Am I wrong to say that those rates are more suitable for double wishbone suspensions?
12k/8k is 672/448 pounds...
Normally, people would run 7k front 5-6k rear.

Wow, that's crazy stiff, better have the car fully caged, cuz that's only going to make sense for serious track work.

They're not too bad. I have a set, great street coilover for the money. They don't have camber adjustment, which sucks, but I've compared these to a set of actual chinese replicas (the owner of the company I talked to is literally from china) and these are pretty damn decent in my mind. They go stupid low, the damper adjustment is great, the spring rates aren't as bad as you might think, and again, these are on my daily driven street car on Indianapolis roads (Indy has $0 for road work). So are they comparable to Stance/Cusco/HKS/Zeal/JIC/etc? No. But are they decent for a guy who wants better than a sleeve-coilover set up on OE style struts? Absolutely. I received mine within 7 days of payment..
Don't have any pics, but again, they're great for the street.

Its suitable for auto-x but that is about it. I'm running 650/500 on Konis and its rough, like splash coffee out of the lil hole in the lid over bumps rough. Also, IMHO its completely pointless without camber plates, FCs need all the camber they can get.

Those look identical to a set I just installed, different brand.
They were a pain in the ***. Assuming they are indeed the same:
In the front strut, the upper strut to knuckle hole is elongated, to allow for camber adjustment. The problem with this design is that it relies on the bolt tension to hold the camber setting, rather than the bolt shear. I didn't trust it, so I set the camber and then machined aluminum filler plates fill the remainder of the slot. Time consuming, not overly adjustable.
You can see a glimpse of the elongated top hole in the picture linked above.
The Front struts had no brake line mount on them, so I had to fabricate some brackets to make them work as well.
The ride height adjustment didn't go low enough in the rear for my liking. I like a half inch or so clearance between the top of the tire and the fender. Couldn't get the rears set to my liking.
Build quality seemed decent, ride was stiff, haven't heard any problems on them since then.

Never tried them out but in my opinion I would rather pay $100 more for megan racing coilovers just because they do atleast come with camber adjustment. Other than that I'd say these coilovers are basically the same thing.
