Whats the general opinion on these bad boys? I have an opportunity to get a set of these second hand with HKS topmounts.

Can anyone point me to some info on the web? Whats the max drop on them?

Thanks in advance lads

Have tried OHLINS on an E5, pretty good but not as supple (for road-use at least) as I thought it would be. Have tried Cusco Comp-2 on an E5 as well, waaay to harsh for anything other than baby-bottom smooth roads. Also tried Cusco L-Comp Zero on another E5, very very supple, good body control but not worth the price. Its too close in pricing to what I feel are superior Euro models :(

TEIN however, especially the HA's, I think are the best value for occasional track-users and addicted back-road burners. :D

Check out www.tein.com

Very helpful, and the site shows spring rates on all models. Not sure about lowest height setting though, but at its highest setting, its still noticeably lower than OE height. Hesperus has a set of TEIN HA's and I reckon best value for the buck!

HTH! :D
