yea i know im keeping that in mind for sure buddy i have to get the exact weight on them long as there not 30lbs per rim im cool with it lol. i think i could still easily run 10s if they weighed 25lbs each. im not trying to be the lightest evo out there for sure. ill keep my stockers and put some other tires on them later. hell i might get these then get some rota dpts later for road course duty. point is even if you see these neo chrome rims on you will assume its a show evo that cant be faster then 320-350 haaa then ill whoop that *** get out the car and polish the lips back up haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The way you worded yourself made me look bad for choosing the coilovers. People need to know what is what, not what one individual thinks about a product. Most the time with coilovers/suspension stuff its about name brands when it comes to pricing.

ADD: im not even into suspension myself, and it took me 1-2 hrs max of research to find all that information out that I did about the plant manufacturer's and etc.
ladies lets not fight over them. tscompusa has uncover some nice infomation about them all being in the same factory. to be honest only time will tell how good the coilovers are to be honest. i know your still waiting on the sweet valve cover then you can drive your car. Well once you do im positive you will give my thread a first reaction. after about 500 miles or so im positive you will know how these coilover will react in all situation and if there to cheap per say. Hell i was thinking about getting HKS as they are a nice neo purple look. I think megans are green and that will kill the vibe of my engine bay. Suspension is not a big deal to me now the first priority is to get this motor together and get miles on it and make sure its all leget then rims, VG then probaly paint job then look into suspension NOW if a badass deal comes along then im looking for parts ill do a impulse buy for sure but i have not seen any to boast about. Ill let you know about Mona Nick im going to give you alittle time to get your **** together expect after mine is done for me to want the funds.
