How come I never see anyone with them, or hear people talking about them, from everything I have read it is a great set up...

Oh so you just came from the Scooby Sport website...

Well the reason they think they are the best is because they sell them.

I'm not saying they are bad by any means, but they are certainly not the most cost effective solution, especially when there are DMS 50s in the same price range.

Can you share your reasons for your final decision? Why the Ledas instead of Cusco/JIC/Tein/DMS/STi/etc.? Just curious what sold you with all the choices out there.

i am going with the Leda's because of all their success with Porche, also i drove a sedan with them and they are sweet.. the noise isnt as bad as i originally thought, i hear nothing but good things about Leda... hope that answers your question

(sorry it took me so long to reply, thought my thread had died..)

This is also what i've picked up from reading about them. There were also some complaints about them leaking.
