There are no shocks with that setup, just the springs and perches...

Springs must be matched the shocks, and vice versa...

I dunno...sounds like it's for the show-only set...nothing wrong with that, just don't be surprised if they don't perform well at competition/performance driving...

IMO, I wouldn't get them...

There's no way around the expense of well thought-out spring/shock system...You're paying for more than just the hardware...you're paying for the hours of testing that the tuner went through before releasing the product.

if those are similar spring rates to the M2 springs (that cost about $600 i think), then would there be any other difference? Isnt spring rate the only main difference in springs?

I am considering the M2 coilover spring set, but $600 seems really high for what it is.

why do we have to pay more for the same products than the rest of the world? I think that performance manufacturers are just screwing us because we are a niche market and everybody is scared of the rx-7 cause it is a rotary.
