      They will work fine to daily. If needed for track use you'd want a bit stiffer springs.

        Like any other coilovers out there, it is not litterly made in China. It is assembled in China with parts coming from around the global. For example, like your iPhone.
        Bought parts from me before? leave your feedback here

          Actually some are assembled here. I'm not sure about CA tuned but bc's are assembled here. Chelsea denofa puts videos up on ig all the time.

            Exactly- Thanks!

            We have a lot of track days coming up this season. We have a few cars locally that will put them to heavy testing. We daily our cars and have lots of customers doing the same. You can also Ask Matt- Mr.325 on here what he thinks of his set up.

              Guess I should have worded that a bit better. I think as is they would work fine for track and daily but if buying for a more dedicated track car might want to consider going with some slightly stiffer springs. Which I think you guys also offer?

              What's the current spring rate? I'd assume somewhere between so you can make most people happy.

                Yes correct we can get other spring rates if someone wants something else.
                But current setup is perfect for a daily/ occasional track.

                  How would this setup work with a cabrio considering that the rates are pretty low?

                      That great! I think you could easily spend more buying something else and having to upgrade a new product to perform optimally for your specific vehicle. Looking forward to customer reviews and options for the verts.

                        Can you guys split the fronts and rears? I just need some fronts.

                        OP, sorry for the thread jack, I realize this isn't CaTuned' FS thread.

                            What was the valving built to handle stiffness-wise?

                                He's asking what spring rates the damping is valved for.
