    Most people on the forum seem to love them, and they're nowhere near as harsh as people put them out to be, they are a street coil after all.

    I'd go a good shock/spring set over coils, they are harder than you'd want for street driving.

    You don't really need the adjustability.

    dont these come with damper adjusters? the ad doesnt state it is damper adjustable. however all my previous/current cars have coilovers and its not too bad.

    i like the fact that i know i can adjust the height and dampers for all occasions whether it be street/spirit runs/track.

    any negative feedbacks towards this brand of coilovers?

    any known local vendors selling these hottuning coilovers, with prices listed if possible?

    in the process of installing mine, only have the rears in at the moment (had the fronts in for a day or two). If you want to go super low at minimum cost this is it, also good if you need to replace existing shocks while wanting to lower.

    There not super smooth, but not horrible either. I find myself avoiding one or two roads, but what do you expect for crazy lowness with adjustably and a price tag of less then 1k? when you weigh up those options, i think they are pretty damn good.

    Search hot tuning on the site, im sure you'll find a number of other reviews. Good luck!

    HotTunings are great. Ive had them in the car for about 18 months now and not a problem. Pretty compfy for daily driving and no where near as harsh a ride as other coils Ive had or been in cars with.

    Evorobin (Robin) is the official HotTuning dealer here in Aus and will do you the best deal.

    They are only height adjustable (not damper adjustable) but do go super low

    Have a search on the forum and you will come up with plenty of posts about them.

    Hello BRU51N Hottunings are an excellent choice when it comes to a budget coilover - height adjustable only.

    I'll pm you the full specs. Ta

    hot tunings are ace for the money. not dampening adjustable but you get what you pay for.
    my girlfriend complains all the time. mostly cos the ride is too rough but thats just cos its pretty low thats all. but SHE DOESNT UNDERSTAND.
