      I would be worried about the longterm reliability of a coilover set that costs US$650...


      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      isnt there a pulley available here in the states? and how much?

      and i think those are fair prices for the other parts

      about a hundred bucks for the strutbar sounds nice plus it looks pretty good.

      and that or less for the other pieces.

      I used to make them... but i've since turned it over to Ryan aka Whiteraven because he has better hook ups then me right now on production and can get them out cheaper

      if u worry about the quality of the coilover jus because of the price, the manufacturer can jus simply sell u USD2000. Maybe u will think better of the long term reliability?
      guys.. we're jus sharing wat we have available at our side. if u have a better source, pls share.. if not, dun doubt things so easily... we are not here to decide how good or bad something is, we jus trying to find more things for our ride to make it better.

      +1 for the upper and lower braces.

      P.S. I have an extra front brace I can sell for $45 shipped. It's a 3 piece design and works great. I have had it on my car for well over a year now.

      a coilover that's shot in 30,000km certainly won't do the trick...

      With a price so low (quality coils usually run around $1,000 here in the states), it makes me wonder how they're getting a decent margin.

      I've seen one set of $1,200 bilsten coils out last several sets of $650 FK coils on mk3 VWs. The adage of "You get what you pay for" is usually true in the automotive aftermarket.

      dude the main point is no one else is willing to make one for u.. so we do appreciate wat we get here. Its perfectly normal for u to worry about the quality. But its all up to u to decide. Maybe u have a set of Blisten coil already? who knows...

      I dunno how someone can compare a price with the quality. Maybe i should jus tell u guys tat the coil are selling at USD1500 maybe it looks better. We have better price over here in asia for some products if u notice. Not all are so expensive though. We can have a full exhaust system customised for less than USD300 - 4-2-1, straight thru cat, upsized piping, straight thru muffler. We can also have turbo charger in our ride for about USD2000.

      The brand for the coilover is GAB. Struts & pulley is SUMMIT.

      If u dun like wat u see, its ok.. i'm not trying to sell anyway.. i say again, i jus trying to SHARE wat we can get for our ride rather than some pple who have but kept quiet.
