Some how there were a few scratches on the one of the springs and some scratches on one of the front camber plates... as seen here.... won't matter though, I'm sure I'll scratch them more.

...

overall, I'm excited they finally arrived. If your out there thinking about buying a set, order early.. they take more than a few months to get. Big thanks go to Van of OneTonGarage. :biggthumpup: 

I'm actually thinking now though of selling them and just going with the teins, in the six months I waited for these the Y33 became more of a family car so I'm not sure I want it slammed. we'll see though.

Hahahahha!
NICE!!!!!
 
Good luck w/ whatever you decide!

let me know if you end up selling them! my plan was to save up for some insurance coilovers and install them with my UAS system. good choice of coils and  i heard lots of good stuff about them from other members! :biggthumpup:

if u dont mind m askin how much do these run about?

HOW LONG?
hly shit.....
did he ship it by sea or some shit?

yeah, I think they were shipped by sea... Insurance apparently doesn't keep these in stock so they had to be made + had to wait for a bunch of other stuff to get shipped with them to keep down the shipping fees. 

Its all good, I got a little kick back due to the extended wait =)

[QUOTE=implayaz9;120765]if u dont mind m askin how much do these run about?[/QUOTE]

~$2100

I'll let you know... I'm not trying to lose money though so I'd be looking for full price.

are these fully damping adjustable? looks nice! is the price $2100 total of everything?

[QUOTE=hondaboi;120790]are these fully damping adjustable? looks nice! is the price $2100 total of everything?[/QUOTE]

yes, yes.

hmm...but not rebuildable in USA though...I guess thats the only downside?!

[QUOTE=hondaboi;120821]hmm...but not rebuildable in USA though...I guess thats the only downside?![/QUOTE]

true true... I'm sure these will last a good 60-80K miles though which is much longer than I've ever owned a car. I'm sure you could get somebody else to rebuild the shocks if they blew. I've heard motorcycle shops will do it.

hmm...but I assume that they come with warranty?

[QUOTE=hondaboi;121348]hmm...but I assume that they come with warranty?[/QUOTE]

I assume they would but I'd have to ship back to japan which would probably be more expensive than just having them rebuilt in the states. Hopefully that won't be an issue though.

I'm sure the manual that came with the coilovers talks about a warranty but since its all in Japanese and I don't know Japanese... IDK:shrug:

haha...kool!

did you get it installed already? Or deciding on selling it?

Oh, does both the front coilovers and rear have camber plates?

I'm 90% positive I'm selling them which is why I'm not going to install them... watch the for sale section, when I get to 50 posts their going in there. I Really want to keep them but since the car has become a family car I wouldn't go very low and I want these to be put to good use, even if not on my car. lol.

Only the fronts have camber plates, for the rears you need adjustable upper control arms... I've heard that you can just the RUCA's from an S14. I was told you also want to buy the adjustable tow arms from the S14 also since as you get real low the tow and camber go out of spec on their own.

Ahh..good to know!

I dont have a Y33...but a GS lex, and they make it for that model too, I just though that you were going to install it and see how it feels and etc.

thanks and good luck in the sale :)
