Powell said on the first page he'd try to get a set made for CED, just wait till he does that and then talk to him....?

The ones that I had planned to buy were Ebay Sleeves, but with the springs swapped for 6k/7k Stances with modifications to fit and cut perches. Supposedly wouldve been nice, who knows with fe5 struts though. Ive heard both sides.

good springs or not.. That is an awful idea lol. Save for real or just dont bother. Thats like spending 3k on a turbo kit (piping, IC EVERYTHING down to bolts) and then using a no name ebay turbo thats known to fail with your setup. I wouldn't run that..would you?

I like the wheels on that silver sedan! looks sharp!

I have given up on the coilover idea for now, too much work, spend alot of money and then ride like crap, have axle bind and possibly break stuff quickly.
