I wouldn't even think about touching them. Budget coilovers scare me.

They perform good reason you can't go low is because the dampening **** Is on the bottom of the coilover for some dumb reason sp if you go to low they will shoot through your cv boot. Ask me how I know this. If you wanted them
You could adjust it to what feels good to you then cut the dampening **** off then you could go low.

i had friends that got flt-a2's on there evo's and hated them i have a buddy with jdm jic track coils on a FD and he hates them.. i driven the mulerized one's on an evo and thought they sucked.. i think its more personal preference if u wanna go low.. i personally hate the real stiff bouncy ride. some like it.. i run the pss9's and i think they are worth every penny.

Rocking these since a couple of months after they came out in early '07. Opted for the optional 400/350 springs rates instead of 500/400.

arent those the coilovers that the mounting ears broke off of, or something happened where those coilovers kept breaking/snapping
