these look great, wud also like to know how it compares to the js/showa dampers, tho it doesnt have adjustable damping...
I would say price and performance will be over the Spoon showa and the J's showa. With the dampening adjustment, you can set it to the way you want to suitable your needs.

how would these + s-coils compare to the coilover set up?
If comparing to T1R B52, well there's a big difference between them. The B52 has 46mm piston, short stroked, ride height and camber adjustable so for the tunability, the S-Spec damper is nowhere close.
For street driving, it is a very good setup for ride comfort and performance

We have tested last weekend. the test has been performed with T1R S-Spec damper (shocks) and T1R S-Coil springs.
1) Fitment
- The T1R shocks direct replaces factory shocks and fitment is perfect. No modifications what so ever. All brakeline brackets can be used at it's original position.
2) Ride
At the softest setting, the ride is softer than stock , you hardly feel manhole cover when you go over it. The ride is VERY VERY comfortable.
We test it a little further with stiffening up the front tand rear suspension. Ride quality remained. The turn in response and cornering stability is greatly improved.
The downside - because the front suspension iss lacking negative camber so at higher speed sweepers, turns or exiting ramp, the car felt a bit unstable so camber bolts is highly recommend. It would be nice to have -2 degrees but for daily driver -1.5 degrees will be enough.
We have had a few different ppl who sat and driven these suspension so they will post up some feedbacks very shortly.
Ride height is almost perfect for daily driver
Thanks
Ben

you really should, its one big draw back to the fits suspension design. shouldn't cost much more if at all to produce and it would make it much more desirable

Yeah I will say go for -1.5 or -1.6degrees up front & 0 toe for street Ben. That should make a pretty good difference already. Can't wait til the alignment is done. I will take it for some more runs and write up some more reviews after that.
If you guys are looking for something that offers some ride comfort, this setup is even smoother than my Showa tuning setup including bumpy highway sections.

i fixed my typo, SHOULDN'T haha i hope you are able to do this. I may consider swaping these out from the coilovers for a cheaper better daily suspension

Sorry for a being a noob, but I just want to clarify that this will work on my T1R 2.0 Lowering Springs that I currently have on my fit?
If so, what are the added benefits of having this compared to the stock shocks (longevity? handling?)? Thanks

when these are ready for shipment, can you put me down for a set + the S-coils? Shipped to 32225 I'm loving the ride height. I'm not auto-xing, but I want a better, lower ride and these seem perfect, great price too
