gauging interest in Endura-Tech coil overs for GE8

posting here, not a vendor and wont be, just want everybody to read this.

As some of you may know, several well trusted GD owners feel that Endura-
tech coil overs are the best for a daily driver where you dont want a sacrifice in comfort. Kenchan has posted a lot on this and has even stated recently they are basically corrosion free after an exceptionally harsh and salty Chicago winter.

How many would be interested?????????
Trying to pester Ken Matsubara (the president of the company) to make these. The price is right at $899 (GD3 price) and they have an office and staff in the US, dampers are not adjustable but well tuned for our application from the factory
These are also extremely popular with some of the Subaru guys

Endura-Tech products are offered by NHK Intex Corp., which is in turn part of NHK Spring Co., Ltd.,
the world's largest manufacturer of springs. Our diversified technology based products include precision valve springs, suspension systems, shock absorbers and sway bar. Endura-Tech of NHK Intex Corp. coordinates the entire manufacturing process from simultaneous engineering to testing, manufacturing and logistics.

Depending on the time frame I'd be in. I'm kinda waiting for Swift to release their springs but I'm open to a height adjustable setup as well.

I don't really care for comfort if that means for a soft ride. I would rather have less comfort with a stiffer spring.

I'm interested. I want comfort and a smooth ride. Of course a little better handling would be a bonus as well as the ability to set the stance.

I emailed them a couple months back to see if they were in the process of making them. They said they have thought about it but dont have any plans as of now. I offered them my car as a test dummy since he told me he has family in orlando and visits often. This was about 4 months though.

I would be in on them if they had a stiff ass ride. I dont care about comfort. I want performance.

ahhhh... another misconseption. stiff ride does not equal performance.

stiff ride does equal more dash rattles though. hahahahaha.

if the roads you are driving on are perfectly paved 100% of the time, that would help. otherwise it doesn't work that way.

i'm interested.
