Default Anyone here using those Starke coilovers?

My fiance just picked up a used IS250 for a good deal and we've decided to lower it a bit. Has anyone ran the Starke coilovers? I called them up directly and the manager at the time said he was part of this forum too and gave me $200 off with free shipping. He said its a fairly new product and he doesn't mind helping a fellow CL'er. Should this be a go or no go for me?

Their website is their name. I found it easily. Well I ended up grabbing a set of these a couple months ago. Installed them and loved them since. I'll post pics later.

I ended up paying $899 with the free shipping deal. I think all coilovers look alike from the outside anyway. Now I need some new rims!!

Hahaha!! I bet people that don't know think my name is really Keith Stone.. They're already installed. My buddy is into photography so I'm trying to set up a day to do a photoshoot with him before I post pictures.

Man, you didn't want one minute to install them huh! LOL

Try out the differing dampening levels and see what suits you best for your driving style. On my Civic's Bubby Clubs (15 way), I had the fronts softer and the rears stiffer. Although, it wasn't hardly a normal Civic...unless you see 400+whp out of a 1.6L sohc normal! LOL
