you have to put a deposit if you want to get a set when they get shipment.

hey guys i just installed my new MAX coilovers and could only get -1.5 degrees of negative camber up front max, but my castor was 6mm which is awesome but no camber, is this just because of maxes unusal design where the camber plate is diaganol

hey i was wondering if you guys can clear things up on how they are to look when installed. these diagonal facing top hats are confusing. just wanted to know which way is proper for them to be facing. like the way they are facing for overboost in his picture or like mine in my pix? which is the correct directions? thanks

Powered by Max has nothing to do with USA or Japan. The coilovers are made in Taiwan by a company called Windflowers RIGHT HERE.

These are a D2 knock-off design. The same as Pettit, Ksport, DG-5 (Kei Office), Apexi, Megan, Buddy Club, Skunk2, and even Tein. They all share similar technology because they all go back to the original source, D2. Yes some of them test differently, Apexi tests at Twin Ring Motegi. But the history all goes back to D2 which was once a British company. Take a look at this thread for some more information.



While the $1,000 price tag sounds pretty good, keep in mind this is the damper you're buying:

I don't know much about shock dynos, but if someone cars to have a look here they are:

LOL! Nicely done, GodSquad. Not trying to down anyone's purchase-just be smart and understand what you're getting into-from what/where materials are sourced to why camber/castor plates must align a certain way. When it comes to suspension tuning, practice mentally/write **** down so it becomes second nature. You'll feel so much better at a track knowing WHY you have to adjust something a certain way.

Thanks for the info I was weighing heavily on getting these as I read these were made in Japan by legitimate drifters who wanted the best bang for their buck. I will no longer be purchasing these and will probably go back to my original idea of getting Tien Flex.

Tein is made very close to where these are in Taiwan, but apparently there is a huge difference in the quality if the shock. Even their Tein is made in Taiwan they test on Twin Ring Motegi. My guess is they just have a much bigger R&D budget

Recieved them today well packaged, very beefy and everything look great. started to install them and unfortunately can't because the lower mounting hole don't line up it is like a few centimeters off =/ I can try hammering or filing down but I paid close to $1100 & I believe they should fit perfect without any modifications. Will give them a call in the morning and see what can be done.

I would go with bc because I was told from pbm that I have to mod my knuckle for them to fit correctly. Don't know what's up with that since no one here has ever mentioned that

Love mine, I got the new version about six months ago and am extremely impressed with the quality and ride. Definitely stiff, but not jarring or uncomfortable. Excellent daily/track coils.
