im going to buy them. i already got my Tein S-Tech springs being shipped, so these will pair up with them nicely. maybe once the illuminas come out i will consider upgrading, but these will do for now. the HFP doesnt drop low enough for me and i dont want harsh coilovers. so tokico hp's ftw!

Thinking I might do the same...I have a performance driving school coming up and I think some struts/shocks would be nice. I have Tein S-techs so we'll see how it goes

Yeah, but when my weekend race car is my weekday daily driver, I would like to have it adjustable.

Yea man please do, I am really curious to see how they are. I see you live in Riverside. You should head over to the weekly meets so we can check them out!

Thats why I ask if they are in stock and can put his hands on them with real pictures with time date material or something to prove they have the item. Back stocked items should be noted in the auction wish I could find the ebay article requiring it to be mentioned.

You bet your bottom dollar they would do something about it if you bought the auction and paid 7 to 10 days past the deadline.

You should have told him that your payment was back ordered.

They are not on backorder - they haven't been released yet :) Even worse...
