Is their a reason you want info on them?

If they exist and you cant find info I would postulate:
1) They are cost too much and compete against quality stuff (ohlins, AST, etc)
2) They're cheap, but worse than the rest of the cheap stuff. In this case, lacking bling most likely
3) Hard to get in which case you dont want to do deal with it in case you have issues.

How much are you trying to spend?

normally i would agree that almost all JDM coilovers are garbage, but i actually had experience with my friend's RS-R coilovers on his IS-F, and believe me they ride really good - this coming from someone with Ohlins DFVs.

i was amazed by how well body motion was controlled (on a ~3800lb car no less) and how quickly it responded to inputs on street tires, yet the ride was no more harsh than stock. i know lots of uninformed guys with BC/Megan/taiwan rainbow crap says that all the time, but i swear its true.

the only downside i can think of is as Dallas mentioned, servicing them when they inevitably blow. this is why i would stick with the proven midrange stuff like AST/Ohlins/Robi spec KWs.

Thanks for response. I was just curious about them because I never seen them for evo before. I saw them for $775 shipped NEW. I will be ordering BC Coilovers very soon. I have them on my IS300 and I like them.
