Racing Gear coilvers
I was wondering if anyone has experince with Racing Gear Coilovers sold through invidia-usa? There are supposed to be high end coilovers from Japan.

I've only had the opportunity to drive an Integra R (DC2) with RG coilovers and only on the track (Willow Springs: big track). At around 120mph, the ride is amazingly stable and I almost thought I was going too slow. Amazing high speed stability... Driving around the pits, though, I felt every pebble and crack on the surface of the road.
I'm not sure if RG makes a "street" biased coilover, but their circuit coilovers I would consider "track only".

The only thing I could find from translating their Japanese website is the only FD application is the V-spec coilovers. Spring rates appear to be 10/8 (558/447). These are reasonable spring rates (a little high in the rear) -- BUT, why would you go to the effort of getting coilovers with essentially zero USA support? Why wouldn't you look at Zeal, Tein, or JIC, which at least have a USA branch? Or Ground Control, which is USA based?
