Question Anyone tried DG-5 Suspension??

Hey has anyone tried the DG-5 coilovers listed at www.driftspeed.com? They're supposedly produced by Keiichi Tsuchiya, the drift king himself. I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about them... When I can save up enough money, I guess I'll be the guinea pig to try them out I suppose.

If anyone knows anything, please let me know!

i would be pretty surprised if an FC owner dropped that much coin on coilovers...i'm sure someone has probably used them, but getting much of a review would be pretty difficult.

Holy **** those are some expensive coilovers. Yeah, I doubt you'll get many FC owners running these.

Nice that they come with Swift springs of your choice, but shock dynos would be nice! The price tag would be justifiable depending on those.

Those are some seriously baller coilovers. Those things cost more than some people's engine builds

That does seem expensive for what appear to be single adjustables. FWIW I got a set of Tein Super Drifts with the electronic controller kit for $2025 shipped from ARD last year.

It says for the FD it is single adjustment but for the FC it is a 30 way adjustment. But yeah that is a bit pricey and no real test of the different spring rates.

30 way adjustment means there are 30 detents when you turn the ****. When I said single adjustable I meant the **** controls bump and rebound at the same time. Two-way means two ***** and controlling bump and rebound independently. 3 of 4 way mean some combination of being able to adjust high and low speed bump and rebound.
