Yup…
$770 CDN for new adjustable coilovers
once again these are from MDU, the newest player on the block for dirt cheap shitty coilovers…
Unlike the last ones that had a fixed lower perch these have an adjustable lower perch for full height adjustability.
on with some pics:
you can see here the ABS bracket female nut… often overlooked feature
fully adjustable rear perch… not sure how low they go so dont ask until someone posts pics
removed the rubber caps so you can see the adjustment knobs… they click but don’t feel as precise as more expensive coilovers.
lift up the boot and you can see the bump stops
close up of the front lower perch, adjustable with the abs mount.
I was selling the old ones for $700… if you look on ebay the old non-adjustables are still going for like $600 USD + shipping

that’s gay.
one other gay thing though…
thus far i have not been able to get the 1 year rebuild warranty on them… i am lobbying for it so if i ever am able to get it i will apply it retroactively.
that said, if you are expecting the world out of a $770 set of new coilovers you can STFU anyways
special order only… i am not stocking them right now… need a $200 deposit and its a 1-2 week turn around.
If these go low… then I think this will be probably be a pretty sweet venture for you.
Who gives a fuck about handling, or customer support, or quality? I just want low.

and for 2-300 hundred dollars more than the importers charge for the used clunkers
sounds good

No S14 yet but they were available on the other series’ so I am sure they will be available soon.
These guys had a super wackass booth at sema last year. I’ll talk to them there again this year.
If only their reps understood good english it would make the whole process that much easier.
You’re going to see these out under various brand names in the very near future. There are already a few cropping up out there.

They’ll lower the car and you can drive around. I won’t make any other claims.
The price point reflects the level of quality I would expect. They’re $300 - $500 cheaper than megans so take that for what its worth.
yes you can use the s13 ones on an s14 with a little bit of modding. There alot shorter than s14 ones. Your car will be insanity slammed.

^^^ Buddy doesn’t know shit, you can use the S13 fronts on the S14, but the rears do not match up whatsoever
^fronts line up but s14’s use a larger size bolt… and rears… yeah not happening

S13 fronts can be drilled out on the bracket to work. S13 will NEVER EVER fit an s14 in the rea, 1) completly different top mount and 2) they are way to short.
