No I don't because it's an $80k car.. You can't compare aftermarket parts for a brand new car with an MSRP of $80k with an S chassis car. Once again your posts are filled with biased hatred. Have you ever called any of these shitty Japanese companies and asked to build you a custom version of one of their dampers? I bet you haven't.

Most coilovers for S chasis cars are generic due to marketing and capitalism. Take an economics class.

Any big name Japanese company will provide custom spring rates, valving and sometimes external oil resevoirs for an added cost.
A big company like JIC perhaps? Last i heard there was a group buy with JIC offering custom spring rates and JIC would even revalve the shocks to match the spring rates. Yet when the customers got the coilovers, NONE of the shocks were actually revalved. Great company huh?

Just because the thing is MADE IN JAPAN doesnt automatically make it a good product.

So how many custom built Japanese coilovers have you tested against the European/American brands? None i assume.

Nope, still you pal.

I skimmed the article. Personally I think it's full of ignorance. I don't give a fuck what his crediantials are.
Then what are your credentials to say that he is full of ignorance? You're the one that is pretty ignorant if you ignore a person's credentials. If you're calling bullshit on his work, then provide some evidence to back up your claim.

I don't need to have race team experiance and my own shock dyno to know he's full of shit.
What makes you so smart? Your "experience" with certain coilovers? Again, show me some evidence.

You sound like one angry person, take a step back and think about what you're saying. You havnt proved anything to me with your economics argument. I'm still waiting to actually learn something here, like i said before, I'm always happy to be proven wrong.

Also i didnt say your Topline Aragosta coilovers were crap, I've heard good things about them. So if you're insulted because i said Japanese crap, read closely. I said MOST, not all.

PS: You should stop with the economics classes and take a spelling one instead.
