XYZ Coilovers

No, this isn't spam haha. I have an opportunity to buy a set of these coilovers (new - and possibly a big brake kit as well) - for a stupidly low price. XYZ is apparently a newer Taiwan based company trying to break into the tuner market, has anyone heard of them?

Never heard of them. One thing though, if their quality is unknown, I would pass on those brakes if I were you.

The shock uses needle valve to have linear damping adjustment at each level.
lol thats precisely what needle valve adjustment DOESNT do.

anyway if all you care about is dumping your car on the ground, sure why not. if you care more about ride quality and performance, best stick to the proven stuffs

I would stay far away, especially if they are the same company as d2 and k-sport, Taiwanese made coilovers are awful. Spend the extra money and get something well made, it will be worth it in the long run.

I received bulk of spam mail from them everyday when I worked at Tanabe/SSR and even now at Endless from these guys. I would trust my stock brakes and suspension over these guys.

DON'T DO IT. I HAVE SEEN THEM. I HAVE DEALERS WHO BRING THEM IN.

IF THEY ARE AS CHEAP AS JUST BUYING TOKICO BLUES or ILLUMINAS THEN SOMETHING IS REALLY BAD ABOUT THEM.

My First issue was all the damn ABS Plastic i saw on the unit, ALTHOUGH THAT WAS THE NON ADJUSTABLE STUFF.

Man WTH is happening to people these days. It's like price is everything. At some point people are gonna start buying coils for $100.00 a set and when they get them they will realize they are HOLLOW shell casings. hehehehe........

If you build a car with junk parts, you'll end up with a junk car. I've seen the results, and it ain't pretty.
