Black Friday coilovers

Saw these and thought they would be nice for anyone looking to convert.

If it comes with everything, then that is a good deal

Ya I sent them an email to see if it includes the rear shocks cause I could see it being just the rear springs and adjustable mounts.

Let's see, it's a good deal with everything, even though I have a new pump and 2 new Arnott fronts

Are these actually any good, even at full price? Never heard of that company. But after almost a year of owning this car I'm really tired of the sloppy handling with the Airmatic and am looking to change...

One of the better coilovers out there. They have been around for awhile and have solid service and GREAT custom spec product. To give you an idea, they are on par or IMO, better than BC's. They also offer SWIFT springs upgrades just as BC's. I have owned BC's (w & w/o Swifts) - Megans - Stance GR+ - D2 - Bilstein PSS - KW v3 - Tein SS & currently HKS HM3's (Supra). Platforms were mostly Toyota/Lexus for me but a few Audi's in ownership as well. Before I sold my last ride (Lexus) to step into the 55 world, I had a set of Fortune lined up.

A school bus and a boat put together equates the airmatic handling. Thankfully the Sport1/2 modes aid very little but better than full comfort.

I was totally prepared to buy that set. I've got a slow leak on one of my rear shocks... it's only a matter of time.

Ya I was planning to get on right at 10 but got distracted with family. Guess the conversion will continue to wait for now.

LOL, I'm not aiming for the same type of handling. Truth be told, it would be a bit uncomfortable for a family car.

Thank you, I'll keep these in mind. Still not set on what to replace the Airmatic with but it needs to go. I drive the car only in Sport II and there is just way too much body roll.
