I have seen the threads on Vortex but I have not actually looked into them very interesting, basically the same price as the hottunings, however if you have a problem with them you have no support here so that will be a little hard.
Yep I believe they're all the same too. JOM coilovers used to have the same stainless body, red spring colour combo. My Hottunings came with Raceland engraved on them too.
Perfect for lowering, stay away if you have back problems.
guys, consider that hottunng setps are cheap but you are sacrificing damping adjustability, so why dont you guys consider a setup like k motorsports and bc racing for a bit hundred more. far greater tunability and quality to come with what you pay for. it may be bit more expensive, for its a long term thing and i want to be wont stuck with a cheap coilover on the basis that it is was affordable.
my sugestion: save a bit more and enjoy your better quality and damper adjustable coilovers because its a long term thing for your car, as long as your driving.
or else you intend to keep your car for a very short while, thats the only time ill consider an elcheapo coilover. just my 2cents
Yeah this is true. I've got damper adjustable shocks with height-adjustable springs in my car (basically a coilover concept) and I'm much happier with my ride than those with coilovers that don't have dampener adjustability (namely my mate's 180sx!)

Ive been approached by JOM to start bringing in their products but have been umming and aaahhing over it as Ive heard mixed reviews. People seem to complain of a harsh ride. But then they also seem to have them set extremely low as well so you would have to expect a harsh ride at those heights even on an expensive coilover system.
Im thinking of bringing in a few sets maybe just for evaluation if anyone is interested in them. They have been getting some ok reviews on the US forums recently . I believe they come in mk1 through to mk5 fitments.
here is an example of affordable quality kits, with features found in many
$2500+ systems. both under $1500.
under $1500 locally? where from? I think Weitecs were another brand that were being sold under the 2k mark. But not with the same adjustability.
Also not everyone requires features. KW, Bilstein and H&R all do systems that dont have adjustable damping yet I wouldnt consider them poor quality. One thing to understand is that different products at different price points will appeal to different people.
I think what needs to be done is compare the cheap coilover kits to a comparably priced spring/damper package as that would be its direct competition in the market.
In my personal cars I run Bilstein and soon KWs. But then both of these options cost in excess of $3500 locally. Certainly not what the average joe is going to justify spending.
wholesale suspension in penrith/blacktown sell the bc racing coilovers for $1400 inclu gst and obviously top-mounts to suit.and there exceptional coilovers for what you pay.
