Does anyone of you guys have experience with such product? Mainly reliability, quality etc stuff. Or anything really!
It's not for my Magna, but the Legnum. Possibly in some near future perhaps maybe.

From reading on other forums they are getting quite a good reputation and supposedly are about as good as you can get for a low price.
Personally if it was within my budget I would still go for something like Tein SS (and I did) but if I didn't want to spend the extra cash BC would be my choice judging from what I have read about them

Finally made some phone calls today.
They are Taiwanese product. But as always, "you get what you pay for".
They come prefitted with 12 kg F / 6 kg R rates, which are very stiff. He suggested 8/5, which is still quite high for street use. I can get custom rate for the same cost (1200 - 1300 AUD).
Set of Bilstein shocks would cost a nip less. Koni pumps would be ~ 600 from NZ.
Will consider options.
What's the cost on Tein SS?

Not sure but they are around the 2K mark.
Have you gone to clubvr4 and ozvr4 to ask?
The way it will feel from a ride perspective is not only dependent on the spring rates but the damper rates too.

teins you can get for about 2k yeah but i honestly would stick with BCs... ive read alot of people arent happy with the teins becuase they dont go low enough.. that and with BC's you have the support in Australia and that if they need to get rebuilt you can actually send them back to BC...
that and im biased cos i have BCs, in my legnum and havent had a problem in them at all. my spring rates are 10/6 and set on the stiffest dampening, and they are okay! i dont find them too harsh, however ive never been bothered to drop the dampening n see how that affects the ride..
feel free to come around and have a play with mine if you want.. im in the blacktown or at girlfriends in greenacre..

i ran bc's from new for 2 years in my 180sx. They worked well. I would recommend them for the price. you should get the newer model black/gold not the old red/black ones. I used the car for track, street and some drifting. I have recommended them to a few people and they have all been happy with them
Never buy MDU coilovers. They are an all blue coilover made in china sold on ebay etc. they are the worst i have ever seen

Tnx for the offer, wendnarb. Might consider later on, Jan or sumfin.
Have similar convo on VR4 Forum, but we have much more members on this Forum - and good feedback in this case too.
Benefit of C/Os is that they can be adjusted. Just that they need to be Certified which adds to cost.
Yep, dampers settle car more, in relation, than springs. It's all a matter of balance and what is in there. Currently my Leggy's springs and stabilizers are very ok, shocks are getting bit soft, but not stuffed as yet at all.
No urgence, which gives me time to consider options further on.
