Noisy? The car rides smooth, no noise from them, nothing. Honestly, I cannot be happier, I still am all gitty about how great they are and how good of an investment this was. Car drove great, I even drove it to work (which I normally don't) which is about 30 miles...unbelievable how nice even on bumpy Michigan freeway at 80+ mph Any specific questions I would be more than happy to answer and if I dont know the answer Dragon can definitely be able to help also.

Great looking set up. How much are they? I would really like to get a set. What kind of drop is it capable of high to low. Thanks

not sure how low or high it goes... but we did have it low enough where the tire was sitting snuggly on the top of the fender well in front. we extended the shock about 7 turns... and it sits as you see. but there was tons of room to go higher. probably another few inches at least.

Question
I noticed they were steel bodied. How much do these coilovers weigh? Btw, your wheels actually look nice. I'm purposely keeping my stock wheels (because i like them) and just using high performance brake pads, my car stops very well believe it or not.

wow that looks great.
congrats.
i was wondering how long do these coilovers last? i'm kind of a novice on coilover set ups.
how much did u pay for them and how is the weight dispersment on the car? 50/50 weight balance?
