PS- nearly 1300 miles and they are doing great. I love this setup.

I managed to get the zip ties on. My father-in-law is working on a aluminum brackets for the fronts so you can bolt the brake line down like you do with the factory setup. If I like what he makes I will see if he can make some more. I will talk to him when he gets back from his mini-vacation on Thursday.

I thought I posted that. About $680 CDN but my worked payed for shipping.

I installed them, and am quite happy. I have to make some minor adjustments and get to an alignment shop still. The car is 1" lower then stock, which is as high as the coilovers would allow (safely), and handles great. The ride is stiff and rough but definatly tollerable. The true test will be on October 1st. When I go to shannonville speedway for lapping day.

there is a video in my signature of these coilovers in action.

I have no tower bars or anything. no body roll... :-) I sold these for the commute.. 120 mile round trip to the SF bay area... yeah...unheard of on aftermarkets.

The car was lowered front and back just level to the fender.

Rennen Motors is no longer registered on Ebay and their website gives a "Cannot find server" message. I did find these site that sell them: http://www.elementmotorsport.com/pro...oductID=167877

https://www.groupbuycenter.com/Product.aspx?id=79866

More expensive though.
