    Interested in selling yes. all the collars are free and greased, no leaks appear to be present, springs could do with a repaint but apart from that they seem well. only reason for selling is i want something a bit stiffer. i'll whip them off the car at the weekend and get you some photos sent over if that's ok?

    Great flanny- are they too soft for road use and you are after something for track? I currently have tein sd coil overs with 10 and 8 spring rates which are fantastic on track and smooth roads but on uk B roads it's too stiff. How did you find your comfys - was there quite a bit of roll - also do these have top adjustment? Can't seem to find any info on these

    I ordered some cs2s last night screaminsilvia. Kind of restoring my car as it's off the road and trying to upgrade as I go slowly but surely. I've only driven on the apex for around 400 miles but they seem pretty good. They are very grippy due to being quite soft I have 370bhp and it grips in 2nd in the dry. They're definitely more suited to roads than the track I'd say. I had them all off the car the other week and unsiezed the locking collars as they weren't free and unfortunately one of the rear bottom bushes has popped out. So you'd have to source a new one of those if you did decide you want them.

    I don't want an awful lot of money, if take £170 posted to mainland UK

    Driftworks could sort you out with softer springs if you need them. Might end up with spring/damper mis-match if you go too soft though.
