i've been trying to find more information on these coilovers for the FC:
http://www.splparts.com/Parts/FC3S/S...on/default.asp

anyone have any experience with them?
a key thing i am looking at is if they are reliable (i.e. how they will stand up to street use on shitty public roads, and still be fine for those weekends i decide to go to the track).

 

Its been asked about 3 times on this page Aaron.

There good quality for the buck.

And theres lots of good feedback from the 240 guys. I dont think any FC owners here have them yet. or very few.

Just go with your original setup and stop not sleeping about it .

My 2 cents.

 

A set will be going on my car in a few months. KTS is the same company that makes the coilovers for HKS, they're just anodized different. Check out www.modernspeedlabs.com they sell them for $999 as a GB and I know the guys there pretty well, that's all they use on their drift cars.

yeah yeah, i know it's been asked Azad (actually i didn't, haha) :P
but i want to know if anyone actually has them IN THEIR CAR.

apparently these are big in the "drift" scene for 240s and what not.

these will be used mainly for street driving and the occasional autocross, and maybe a track day or two

 

same construction as HKS? hmm, well they certainly seem like a good price then...spring rates a little on the stiff side is one concern though.

 

They're a street/drift coilover. Very nice stuff, very good quality. I've riden in an S14 with a set, stiff but comfy for coilovers.

 

well i'm not going to be doing any drifting (at least not intentionally). mainly street use, with some autocross and road course usage.

it's interesting that the rear are monoshocks, and the front are inverted monoshocks...

 

Aaron, Go purchase the tein flex. And you will be very happy.
