Nice- looks like my 'vert, loving the rims. How much do they weigh, though? May have to do some research on this....

28lbs a wheel? NVM- I'll keep my stockers. They do look sick, though

a little under 23 lbs from when i did my research... i believe 23 lbs is more accurate considering the sportmax 962's on my old car were 27lbs each and were noticeably heavier

I'm just plain trippin'!!!!

Tony, I have the same lic. plate frame on my car, in CA.!!
Is P R Performance in Hayward the place?, or what?
Mine came with the car and I thought it just a avg. plate frame; now I see one on your car and I'm wondering: "Who is P R Performance" in Hayward???

Dont worry too much about the formal review, If everyone loves them thats all that really matters to me. People across the USA with RX7's are slowly but surely being won over by these just like the Nissan guys.
I think its because even though we use 10 & 8kg springs, our damper has so much rebound damping and so little compression damping that when you hit a bump, the spring compresses easier than you'd think while the bounce is controlled.

My lip got a little messed up on one side from me trying to get in a lift being my car is pretty low but ill still take pics and considering 7$ makes 3 lips for an rx7 i cant complain, ill just make another one

Btw the coil overs aren't nearly as bad as most people say... i love em and nevar though they were too much for the street and i live in San Antonio with messed up streets everywhere, and the dampening works well from what i experienced and when lowering it to 5 in the front and 6 in the back it was not bouncy at all just a very controlled feeling with high response, i will have to try lower settings and see if any bouncing issues still exist

I just cant explain how great the buy is on these things w/o you guys going for a ride in my car, im not telling people to go out and buy them but just to stop bashing on them w/o having or ever riding in a car with them

Still waiting on the PBM Seat!

Thanks dan for introducing these awsome coilovers to me... i can still go about an inch lower in the front but i dont think it will be drivable + i love the look as of now anyway
