Question New coil overs... should i go with???

Wondering if any one has experienced or heard of the reviews on

Rotary Works FC Damper coil overs
http://www.rotary-works.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=COSP

OR

FootWerks FC coil overs
http://footwerksusa.com/Products.html

The Rotary Works model doesnt look like its camber adjustable
and the spring rates are kinda high for me. Price is legit tho...

The FootWerks just look impressive and comparison of function etc etc
are similar to my KTS SC Damper suspension.

Just like to see what you guys have to say before I purchase....

The Rotary Works coils are nice, even on my DD, but there are no camber plates up top, only adjustable at the bottom mount on the fronts. If your price range is 800-1200...get the Powered by Max coils, have camber/caster adjustment, plus lower mount adjustability, and a little more reasonable spring rates, and at $1000, can't really argue. When I buy suspension again, that's what I'm going with.

Have you tried Todd @ Fueled(in Tempe).
He can get Ksports and will beat any price.

Ksports have worked great for me and they're local.

People left out stance coils?

**** ksport/d2. Godspeed coils are the same things and are like $200 cheaper.

It's all night and day over stock any way you look at it but dont buy some bullshit when you can get better coils in that price range....

I hear good things about stance and powered by max from a lot of fc guys. they are in your price range so go with one of those for the best function/feel/money ratio. I've been doing lots of coilover research myself and decided that the $1200 stance are for me.

$1250 = pillow ball, camber plate. combined 32 setting compression/ rebound adjustment

cheapest coils i could find and exceeded my expectations for road race. i'd still call it a beginner coil as when you get more experienced and the car becomes a dedicated track car you'll want the independent tuning of the compression and rebound.

All these ******* taiwan built coilover companies popping out of the woodwork lately.

Go with a business that's been around for more than 12 months.
