lol teo, i want to get these for more than just aesthetic purposes.
i visited NJMP and took my car out on Lightning and Thunderbolt (controlled laps) and I know I can definitely use these coils for some fine tuning on the handling front
also for raising the car during winter like all the other guys with coils

Alright guys!
I just spoke with Pete from BC Racing NA and this is what he told me:
Laobo979 has the prototype kit and we are waiting for him to get them installed so we can find out how they fit and if there are any issues that needs to be worked out before being put into production.
The sooner this step happens, the sooner they will be produced and be available to the rest of us
(get crackin laobo lol)
These coilovers are 30 way adjustable and from the looks of it, possibly get 2.25 inch drop.
These are the stage 2 coilovers which means they are comfortable for the street but able take some track time if you wish to do so (like me)
These are customizable before ordering so if you want stiffer springs/valving, they can do it.
BC Racing NA doesn't have the facilities to rebuild these coilovers after they wear out but, they made it so you just order the cartridges and tear down the coilovers (either urself or get it done professionally) and replace the cartridges. (I think they're around $95)
Pricing should be very reasonable for this kit. He said I can't quote him on anything but it should be around $1,000 - $1,100 which is a pretty competitive price
hopefully we still have enough people interested in getting this and can get laobo to hurry up and test fit it already lol (do you feel the pressure? lol just playin)
I don't know about you guys, but I'm dying for this kit to be release asap.
As long as Laobo gets this done by Jan 1, it should be out by mid Feb.
On a side note, are there any IS 250 AWD's down in or around the Orlando area?
Pete wanted to get someone who is willing to test fit a kit just in case Laobo doesn't have this done in time for a speedy release.
You can contact him here 321-206-6381
I think he said installation would be free for the tester.
They just need to get feedback on this kit as soon as heavenly possible.
Thank you guys for showing you support.
I hope we can have this available to us in the very near future
any questions and what not, you can spam Pete.
