Rebound and height adjustment only. I have them on my RA, 6/4 rebound rate which is just right for normal daily use with some spirited driving thrown in.

How is the ride quality with those since you have mentioned "just right for normal daily use". I have been looking around for something as well.

Stiffer than OEM and body roll is reduced, but won't turn your spine into dust whilst driving on below average road surfaces...

I actually have a set sitting in my garage. I purchased them used from a guy who claimed to be the tester for HKS (months before its release in the US). The only problem is its missing the retainer springs for the fronts. I've already tried to contact the previous owner but he claims everything was included. Tried to get my money back but PayPal didn't help.

Anyway, I ended up purchasing a different set of coils to save myself from the hassle. So I have these V Sports for sale if anyone's interested. If you have connections, you could source/retrofit retainer springs. If not, I can ship them to AMR Engineering (www.AMRengineering.com) to have them fabricate top mounts [w/ camber plates if you prefer] for the front and/or rear. I've already spoke to the owner, Andy, and he can do it no problem.

I understand that'll take work to get the coils prepped for proper installation, so I'm willing to sell them as-is for several hundreds off the retail price; Or I can cover the costs of having the top mounts fabricated and yet still sell the V Sports for less than retail.

I can provide pics of the actual coils along with photos of them installed (from previous owner). I was gona make a FS thread, but I figured I'd gauge some interest first. If anyone's seriously interested, shoot me a PM.

Can we get a list of spring rates for all those coilovers? And whether or not the factory top mounts are required?

I'm sure someone has already done the research, but i'd like to see it all in one thread.

I have a 2010 RA Sportback.

I am confused as to which coilovers to buy. Not brand, but application.

Do we buy EVOX coilovers, or non-EVO?

Figured it was that easy.
Just wanted to make sure.

Because Megan Racing, BC, and some others besides TEIN, do not advertise for our specific application.
