I'm the guy who's selling them. If you're interested or have any further questions please get in touch with me.
As far as warranty. You will be able to deal straight with me. Urban Import (the guys i'm working with to get these coilovers) has replacement springs, struts, mounts, etc. in stock in hand.... and they honor the warranty like most companies should, with no questions asked... unless abuse is obvious.
The reason I was selling them on ebay is because it's a fairly inexpensive way to sell them and alot of people check on ebay for anything and everything.... it is also a way to do a more secure transaction for both the seller and the buyer.
My e-mail is RX7Bluevillain@yahoo.com. Shoot me an e-mail!
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the info...I read alot of good stuff about them but from the S14 users, but when i checked the spring rate it was 12/12, that is a drift setup...what is up with that, and does anyone with KTS have an actual pic of the unit for the FD and such...that would be much appreciated...

true...but all that is left is the quality of the shock, spring rate, damper selector, and price...
10/8
11/9
MONOtube
Prefer no pillowball, but if i have to
under $1500
daily driver, longetivity and quality of the ride
KTS, D2(failures reported), Silk Road, Buddy Club(copycat issues)
Any others...

GC/Koni
I posted a review of the Koni/Ground Control coilovers below. These don't seem to be as popular nowadays as they were but over the years they have proven themselves in terms of reliability, which seems to be your concern. This is essentially a modular kit and can be combined with GAB, Koni, Tokico, or even stock shocks, although they are not interchangeable once you have chosen. Since it uses Eibach springs you can get whatever rates and lengths you want (I got 450/350lb, 7"f/8"r). Here is a graph of the shock dyno's for stock, R1, Koni, and GAB shocks. You can compare these to the other graphs and decide what shocks you want, then choose springs accordingly.

The combo I have only costs $1200, although I bought the Koni's long before the GC kit. An additional advantage is you can always get your shocks revalved and swap in different springs later down the road.

I am going to take your word on and since RandD carry it....lol
I looked at tanabe...and it does not have an independant height adjustment and the damper controls are on the bottom side(not a big problem), spring rate is s bit low 8/6, good stuff, but just not for me...same goes for the Koni/GC, i hate the damper adjustment ****, it confusing to know what setting you left it at and the coilovers are a pita to raise, and height is not independently adjustible...so there u have it...
The only coilover systems i heard nothing bad about is KTS ans Silk ROad and i guess Buddy Club so if there is someone out there to testify on good or bad things about any of the coilovers mentioned in the thread...the more the better...that would be appreciated...
Zeal B6 are out of the budget but if someone knows where i can get some used let me know...LOL...these seems to be the ultimate...in a way...
