i see, you got those from jhot, huh?

$750 or somthing right?

Well, if we had better pictures of the tops or bottoms, then we could tell if its dampening adjustable. So as of right now, I only see pillowball mounts, and ride height adjustable.

My guess is a Cusco CompS, or if you're lucky, then a Cusco Zero1.

those are the same pictures from Ebay. I already saw them and was thinking of getting them. But I didn't like the fact I'd be paying ~$800 of so for a product I didn't know what it was.

Like I said, they could be Comp2, CompS, or maybe.... Zero1.

I know they're not Zero2s or Zero2Rs because they are a different color.

mostly likely 8k/6k or 7k/5k. I don't remember Jhot putting a description on ebay for them.

Another question, they don't come with a spanner tool to adjust the height. So what brand of spanner tools will work with cusco coilovers? I really don't want to use the screwdriver and hammer technique!

just about any spanner combo would probably work, although the spanners for my zeals are different from my friends tein spanners... but they both work on each

I just picked up a set of used Cusco CompS coilovers. The previous owner said the Tien wrenches work fine.

Another question, I am new to coilovers. I was wondering if you can adjust the nut on the bottom of the coilover. I see two were the spring ends, and then i see one at the bottom. I hopw ya'll understand what i'm trying to say!

the third locking collar locks the body of the coilover, which adjusts height independently of the spring
