Wonder how they compare to the S-0C's

I know someone here was the guinea pig for the S-0C coils, was the car they used for these anyone's car here?

That would be me

I gave an assessment on them awhile back.

Better than stock feel with the advantages of being able to raise and lower the car to ones taste.

Yep thought that was you.. were you asked to demo these new coils?

I'm already rolling on Volks and they normally look for a candidate on stockers so I was not asked.

looks good! looks like you can drop the car quite a bit

based on the pictures, looks like these will have adjustable dampening. Does that knob look like an adjuster? I can't tell exactly.

I am a suspension noob, so bear with me. When you raise and lower the ride height, the camber of the wheels needs readjustment ... Right?

It depends. If you have a mild drop/raise, your setting might be fine. Anything more you might need a camber kit because camber is not adjustable on oem part.

^technically yes, its recommended you get an alignment every time you change the ride height.. as camber and toe will change a little bit.. however for tiny adjustment (like within a few mm's) i'd guess its probably not absolutely necessary... Correct me if I'm wrong guys..

if they're 2-way monotube then they'll be pretty decent... also they look pretty

Much better than the Purple/Yellow of the KW V3's I'm rollin on meow.

WAGAWAGA · 08-01-2011, 01:14 PM

unfortunately its not on my car, there were some problems with the prototype. The prototype is tested in japan, and the R&D guy told me sometime JDM's specs are a little diff from US ones. So they making adjustments and probably going to test it again on my car. That is all i know they didnt share any other information.
