I was considering these as well but have heard they can be hard to track down parts for.

They are UK made coilover.

In ten years time when you need parts for them you could easily just put a new pair on, where did you get this information. If you make negative comments about something that someone has for sale, at least qualify it with some proven facts, or don't bother making a comment at all.

Grump, you are a classic keyboard warrior. Relax, I didn't see any malice intention in Jc's post. It's like saying buying tein from overseas/ eBay then you won't get the warranty. Nothing wrong with that, it's good that he kept the rest of us informed. He was considering it, obviously he looked into it!

True, I could just imagine you with coilovers, pretending to go flat out around corners in your driveway, making brumm...brummm noises. :?

I didn't say there was any malice intent. There have been a lot of negative comments about things that people have for sale lately. all i'm saying is that if you have a negative comment ,back it up with fact. don't just make an unsubstanciated comment and leave it at that. inuendos can cause a lot of negativity. Name me the brands of coilovers that are made in AUS. Your post said nothing ,informed us of nothing and achieved nothing, unless you were waiting for the oportunity of using the term keyboard warrior.

I dont know why everything has to be proven by fact, I spoke to a motor dealer who imports jap cars and would know about having to replace coilovers or parts in coilovers.....

Is that factual enough?

I was simply adding a comment to a thread there was no negativity intended....

To be honest I was considering getting the coilovers myself but unfortunately they were sold today.
