Most of you have probably never heard of KBee prior to this ad. Kbee, based in Tokyo, Japan, is a company we originally met around 2 years ago. Their background is based in engineering suspension for a major automotive companies, and from this knowledge they began to create aftermarket suspension components.
7) Do they offer these with any higher / lower spring rates?
These all come with 7/6kg (AP1 12kg/12kg) spring rates. If you want different spring rates, you can go in 2kg increments (either +2kg or -2kg) safely with the current valving. I can sell you Swift Springs if you want different free lengths and spring rates. Contact me for more info. Swift replacement springs are $99 per spring. Most of you (if not all) will be fine with 7/6kg (AP1 12kg/12kg).
13) What is the weight of the coilovers?
Front GD1/3 coilover weighs ~14.05 lbs.
Rear GD1/3 coilover weighs ~18.2 lbs (including springs)
Front AP1/2 coilover weights ~ 12.8 lbs
Rear AP1/2 coilover weights ~ 11.3lbs
14) HOW MUCH ARE THESE?
I got in the following amounts of these coilovers:
(5) sets GD1/3 (06+)
(5) sets AP1/2 (00+)
As an introductory special for those who take advantage and jump on these early, I am offering these up at:
$899 shipped in US
$899 shipped in California
$850 local pickup in Socal
Prices good only on the sets in stock!

couple of quick questions -
#2: you make it sound like they do suspension development for a major OEM. do they, and for who?
#7: i'm assuming that the 7/6kg means 7 up front, 6 rear, which makes no sense for a FWD. but, you did mention that the stock valving will handle a +- 2kg range. with that in mind, i'd like to do something that more closely mimics the stock spring rates with a little extra rate in the back as it's aparent that the progress bar would be too light for the spring rates we're talking about here. would you be able to do something like that?
i'm assuming that KB specified their own valving. my question is who is the damper manufacturer and where is it made? for example, ohlins damper manufactured under licensing agreement in japan? bilstein, koni, etc?
i'm very interested in these because the price seems right. how are your coilovers holding up now? have they gotten any noisier?
lastly, price?
