Just got my Powertrix coils in... KTS watch out!

[BobbyBoy]

I just recieved my set of power trix coilovers for myself and my buddies. I ordered the Ultralite versions while my friend ordered the Race version. For comparison I also have the Super Street version as well
For comparison purposes, I have owned GP Sports GR6, and the SPL KTS coilovers. Plus I have experienced the Silkroad RMA8, Sustec Pro DD, Apexi N1, and Tein SS,HA,HE,HR, and super drifts.
These are my initial impressions for just inspecting the coilovers.

They have a nice solid feel and the brackets and collars look like they will be able handle some abuse.
The anodized finish is excellent, nice color combo.
Comes with dust boots for the piston rods.
Upper pillow ball mounts have thick plates, and are comparable to many others on the market
The coilovers are INVERTED MONOTUBE up front and standard monotube in the rear, just like the KTS I have on my car right now. I think the new Superdrifts are still twintube, and my friend blew one of his on his S14 in less than 1,000 miles. Way to go Tein!
16 levels of dampening adjustable struts, and the adjustment knob feels very study. The GP sports knob was very spongy and imprecise, in other words it felt cheap and quite crappy for a $1600 coilover. The only gripe I had with the KTS adjustment knobs is that both of the knobs cracked up front, and one in the rear. I think the Powertrix adjustment is the best from what I have owned so far.
The sleeve bodies of the struts are coated in something that makes the threading of the collar much much smoother than the KTS, when they were new. The GP sports had the graduated marking on the strut bodies which was a plus for matching ride heights, too bad the collars never like to stay tight, and the locking allen screws would fall out.

The basic versions are Identical to the Race, except there are no camber plates included

From holding the Race and Ultralight verison in each hand you can easily tell the Ultralights weigh well, lighter. Maybe Ill get more scientific later on the exact weights when I do the installs. Any savings on Unsprung weight will help however.

Other than that there is only so much you can tell fron just looking at and holding them. But from my intial impressions I would give the powertrix +1 on build quality
I will be installing these very shortly and will give a review of the driving abilities once installed. Until then, here are the pics.
