Looks like another generic badged/branded coilover to me. Copy of a copy of a copy. Looks pretty out of the box, but like the OP is asking...how's the long term on these things?

I have not been able to find a review for these. Seems every other forum is asking about them too, but no reviews. Im with Gville350 as they are most likely a megan/d2/bcr/ksport variant. I am currently looking for a set of coilovers in the price range and most likely go with megan lp. The yellow speed do have a high spring rate of 14k/10k

^Wow, someone else actually looks at the spring rates and not just how low it'll go? LOL!

I saw that too, thought it was high...but what do I know, I've never looked into Lexus coilovers before. To me, they look like the 10k/7k Buddy Clubs I had on my Civic :

Yeah 14/10 is pretty high but BC offers 16/14 if you ask. I think I might go with those only because I trust the longevity of the BC a lot more over the Yellow's.

Yez, but more impotantly the vendors back the product. Sane reason I think I'm going to go with the megan lp coilovers. I'm also looking for a spring rate of 12k front and 8k-10k rear. That way you don't have to keep the shock setting maxed out to keep from bottoming out or scraping when riding low

If you're unsure, stick with something proven

^The only long lifespan coilover thread that I've seen is for the Megans. I believe the guy said he put 120k on 1 set!

Here is a review I found on the coilovers but for the mazda miata. Seems this guy really likes them, as well as others that have bought them. http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=42522 Looks like you also can replace the shock cartridge like the BCR coilovers. Wonder if they have adjustable spring rates and vendor support like BCR.
