I run power by max coils. Even with the 10kg and 8kg springs the ride is alot better then ksports. They are actually valved properly unlike ksports. The nice thing about power by max is you can really get some negative camber in the front for when you run more steering angle. When I swapped from ksports the car felt like it had more rear grip and had more of a balance.

Powered by max stuff is beyond legit.

I've never owned a set for an FC but I know a bunch of S-Chassis guys that run them and they've never had any issues.

Only thing I've heard is that the caster camber adjuster is kind of funky, but I don't know any more on that subject.

So question how do these compare to other more expensive coil overs such as Stance Pro, HKS, Tien Flex, etc...?

Well after seeing these are sold for $1000 + $61 for shipping I figured these are awesome if they are comparable to the higher end coil overs that can cost almost twice as much such as the Tien Flex.

Also, how is the ride quality of PBMs? I ask because I daily drive my car.

truebluegallo has them on his ****, and the camber caster **** is pretty gay but im sure it works or does something otherwise it wouldnt be there... im ill-litterate when it comes to suspension ****. i just like the chassis to be stiff and jump ****.


mike pollard had a parts shop max tension rod and it snapped when he initiated into a wall, and piled his car because of it.
i have heard good things, but seeing mike litterally get fucked up into krails at 90+ head-on made me think twice about skimping on suspension parts. (obviously we dont have tension rods, but you get the idea)

Also, my KTS are awesome, same price as max coils but they are chrome and all sweet.
DG5 is the only **** i'd spend alot of money on. nothing beats that.
JIC would be the 2nd. stance steel **** 3rd, but stance is still pretty gangster.

tein **** is garbage.
my friends car drove like straight garbage on them, and he got JIC's same alignment, and everything else and it was bomb. both were new. my shitty *** 10k 8k ebay coils work wonders compared to those things.

i ******* can't stand those garbage *** coils....plus listening to retards trying to pronounce that **** is retarted and makes me not want them just because of that..

They say it "TEE-IN" or "Tye-in" or "tyne"


"TAYNE" Like Gucci Mane.



Daves setup is dope. I agree on that. Everything under the hatch sheet metal is just fantastic. Alot of work in it!

Question about Tein Flex. Do you think the 6/5 spring rate is too soft? I'm still thinking about going stiffer...
