I bloody hope so laugh.gif
Ordered a set of coilovers through the GT4OC in August last year on a group buy basis (we had to get 15 people to pay up front before the manufacturing company in Japan would re-tool the machines to make the suspension for our cars). After 7 months (I kid you not rolleyes.gif ) the dude from Amtrak brings me a nice box of goodies via a very slow boat from Japan.
Handeling is fine atm but cant help but think the current 12 year old springs and dampers will be feeling signs of age kindasad.gif

Mmmm blooooo!

The knurled collar can be fitted to allows a 30 degree "click" adjustment to get the adjustment in the same place between pairs then this can be removed for fine tuning.

Front camber adjustment is on a variable adjuster whereas the rears have a choice of 3 fixed settings.

Looks like photobucket has shrunk the pics to death frown.gif oh well laugh.gif - hosted a couple of full res on my web space :cool:
Ive got an adjustable Whiteline rear anti roll bar to go on aswell so should see an improvement in track handeling come the take your brain out weekends.
Ill get some more pics during the build up process.
