is just as smooth if not smoother than stock with 195/55/15's.

im running 195/50/15's so it's suppose to be a tad harsher
but again, there's no harshness. if you look at my ride height
you'd think it would be pretty stiff because it's about 2" lower.

my picts dont appear like its 2" lower because im running shorter
profile tires. if i run the regular size, the top of the tires will be
slighly tucked under the fender arch.

but the ride is unbelievably butter smooth, and there is plenty
of suspension stroke. plus, with the coilovers, if you need
more stroke for carrying heavier cargo, you can raise it tad, etc.

I'm very interested in these...could you pm me the final price shipped to 75044? I know they are on backorder but I plan on purchasing some coilovers by the end of April. I've narrowed it down to the these, Tein basics, and Megan streets. I originally was going to purchase some Ksports but I heard a bunch of blown shock issues from other vehicle owners. These seem worth the investment from what Kenchan is saying.

Question for you guys at Endura-Tech, are we able to adjust the camber on these coilovers?

im not endura-tech, but i can answer that there is no camber adjustment
on these coilovers... and imho, not needed.

the rear will toe-in/neg camber quite a bit when you drop the
car low, but i have not noticed any uneven wear on my 912's even
after 3500miles. i intend to rotate the tires every 5k instead of 7k.

plus, you probably already know you had to do the washer trick in
the drums to adjust the rear toe/camber.

Yeah the negative camber on the rear is fine and what I want, but it's the front that I'm worried about. When you lower the front, does the camber go negative as well? Or stay neutral?

The coilovers utilize the OEM upper mounts in the front when installing. These do not come with a camber plate for adjustment. The camber should stay fairly neutral.

front will go negative as well. here are my numbers.

as you can see, unless you need more negative camber for
racing application you're fine. im slightly lower than DF210's.

Front: -1.1/-1.2
Rear: -1.8/-1.7

UPDATE on Date of Receiving

I have received word this morning that the slow boat from Japan will not be arriving until middle of April. We should have the kits in Chicago on or about April 25th. To ship to 94550, the cost would be an estimated $58.35 But this seems really high to me as we have shipped to CA before and those kits were closer to $45. So estimate about $1K. The dampers could be replaced if they needed to be and the turn around time would be about a week if they are in our inventory. Cost of replacement dampers is not yet available.

Thanks for the inquiry and sorry for the news of these being postponed about two weeks. I hope all of you who have shown interest will be patient with us. The wait will be worth it.

Justin.

So these are non-adjustable? Only height adjustable?

Update 2: Shipment from Japan

Here is the latest, for those that have an interest. The Endura-Tech coilovers are shipping on April 9th from Japan. Should arrive the US / Chicago on or about the 25th of April if there are no issues at the inbound US Port in Tacoma. However, I had received word that there is a possibility that the union workers there may be striking later this month around the 12th and 14th. Hopefully this will not affect the delivery date of the coilovers.
Once they arrive, I will make a post in this thread and create a new thread on their arrival.
Thanks-

Endura-Tech

Just came across this thread. I was a little put off by the chiseling of pricing out in the open in the beginning of this thread. If I was the one selling these, I know I would appreciate more PM's about pricing sensitivity.

It's amazing how much you got your deal done for including install. I know there are a lot of people that can't afford certain dollar amounts on suspension parts but it is really true about getting what you pay for. If only some people would realize how much cost goes into some of these kits. Then again, there are more and more kits coming onto the market that don't do much for the cars they are made for. Example: generic spring rates, spring length that guarantees a crappy ride only to be covered up by saying it's for race/track applications only.

Endura-tech good luck with your application. I love the matte silver finish. I wish I could utilize your product myself. On the rear shocks, is the spring travel increased over the stock shock? I have bought a couple of different things trying to get what I need myself. I enlisted a guy to make me some custom struts/shocks only to get screwed on the deal.
