RSR Black-i Coil Overs review on 2nd Gen GS

Just got these air freighted from Japan, as of right now these are the only set here in the US. I got a chance to install it over the weekend. The guys over at RSR USA wanted to test fit their RSR Black-i coilovers on my car. Apparently they have been out for some time in Japan.

By far these are the most comfortable coilovers EVER, from the specs it can go as low as 115mm = 4 inches. I've only dropped it roughly 2 1/2 and it rides AMAZING on soft settings, since i do daily it. I'll let the pictures do the talking..

What coilovers where you on before? in your comments you stated they were "the most comfortable coilovers ever," so, I was just curious to know your coilover background to make that statement. Nice info. in the link covers some cool design features & facts.

..looks good though.

Note: interesting to see they chose 18K 16K springs. The coils I planned to use are 14k 8K. 18/16 does sound most logical, but there are too many factors for the difference.
