Spotted a 04 silver wagon with roof rack, mudflaps, led license plate, and borla hush. You were on almaden expressway going south. I was in a van so I would've looked a bit strange looking over lol

So far so good (installed them 4 days ago). Adjustment ***** actually make a difference, so in the process of tuning. 7 clicks from soft in the front and 5 from soft in the back is pretty close to struts and wagon swift drop springs. As with all coilovers, more noise transfers into the cabin.
Handles much flatter in the corners, and really takes advantage of moving up tire sizes.

Erich. I was doing a search last night and was on HVT's website. They are the na rep for ast suspension in holland.
They have like 5-6k dollar coil kits for porches and stuff that track. Im gonna keep my eyes on the HVT's for the GD and see how things are going with longevity. So far the people that have installed them love them. I got my eye on the 441s too.....

Give some insight on comfort and adjustment when you can. How solid it feels, not only driving wise, but manufacturing wise. Quality of build, etc.
I always tend to shop by review. So when the 441's get little to no poor reviews, I listen. They've been around a while, they've established their reputation. And they're local!

Build quality is great from what I can see. The only sorta crappy part is the speed sensor & brake line support brackets. They are not super robust.
My buddy who has a track supra & another car with coilovers, mentioned that the 441's had much more robust lower perch supports than those installed on his street car ( I think he has K sports ). Good looking welds, top hats look like a quality assembly.
No weird noises so far. Ride can adjust from rock hard to under damped and super bouncy. They arrive 15f/15r clicks from hard from feal. I found that a bit uncomfortable on crappy San Jose roads. If your looking for quiet and compliant with a sporty feel, I would suggest stay with struts. If you want the next level of control, adjustability and performance at the cost of some comfort go 441's.
