There's a thread on rexnet about them knocking and making all sorts of weird noises as they get older. They don't seem to be a very durable coilover.

I installed some of these on a friends Celica GT-Four. I dont know about how they perform but i can say the build and feel of them is definitelty very quality.
Been told by another friend (after some research) that they may even be the same as the GReddy S coilover with just a different stamp/sticker. Everything about them is the same.

I think the overwhelming silence on this tells you everything you need to know!

Hey mate,

I had a set of them on my old MY99. I was very happy with them, improved the cars handling greatly and adjustable in every way I needed them to be. I had no issues with banging, clunking or strange noises. Build quality was very tidy and for the price they were great. Hope this helps.

The place I bought them mentioned something about being made in same factory as more expensive coilover brand but i can't remember the exact details or it this was true or not!

I have these coilovers in my car. Cant complain at all, they look top notch and work extremely well. I have had serveral different types of coilovers in the past and these compare to all of them.

The company itself resides in a few places over the world now. From memory they are built in their massive facility in thailand. These coilovers have been around for over 10yrs now.

The best thing about them over other cheaper brands is the fact they have cast iron lower mounts with abs and brake line mounts. I wouldnt be suprised if they make parts for other companies to..
