yea, locksmice is pretty good, and UCF2x struts are too LONG (piston length) so the springs, AND the piston would need to be cut.

then the valving is different.

i get them through a shot ATS-BM, i pay 1200 a set for them for my cars, so whoever wants them, ill just sell em to you for that so im not being a profit maker.

Im picking up a set for the wives UCF11 prolly next week
i sent a set to a friend with a 147 aristo as well. supposedly they are top of hte game for luxury at the price point
So how do these ride? Someone mentioned the Megan being very stuff, how are these? I'd prefer a softer ride

Also, when you get them installed, can you let us know what settings you put them on? I.e. how low are they set, what spring settings.. and if possible, pictures would be greatly appreciated

there wil be pictures, but im not putting coils to slam it, im putting it at the same height as factory air on high

My wife's work has this killer ramp in the parking garage (only parking option) and i do NOT want her to bust her WALD aero, so its gonna be pretty high for DD, since it can only be as low as the biggest obstacle.

OK, I'm officially confused. Balling are you in Tokyo; as in Japan? If thats the skinny why do Lock Smice? Why not a Tein CS EDFC ? Is your CF a rhd?

Lock Smice is a japanese company...

and Tein doesnt MAKE coilovers for the 1st gen. being in japan wont make them magically appear.

Puredrifter for info, realize that. Don't sweat it.
But this for Balling; about living in Japan.
Did you buy a USDM CF10 in Tokyo or is it Celsior a rhd JDM ? JDM setups generally don't work ON USDM. No corresponding part #'s JDM to USDM regardless of being a 10 or a 20.
To wait for a suspension to clear Customs with delivery times 2/3 months and shipping costs possibly as high as a coilover. No fun.
If this was Stateside be a whole different deal. Thats my line of askin' the Tokyo point Balling.
