Have you ever heard of thses??

I was playing around on ebay looking at coilovers and came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AMEBOFFX%3AIT

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of them or the company YELLOW SPEED RACING. Seems like they are a newer company, but it does not appear there is much online about them. I want to put some coil overs on my car but do not want to be a "test dummy" for something nobody has ever heard of.
Tell me what you guys think.

You know what they say......you get what you pay for. If you really want some coilovers, get something that will perform like you want.

I would go with a trusted company.
If you want to sit low just get some Tein springs, but if you want a good set of coil-overs for track days and stuff, do yourself a favor and save until summer and get a quality set AST, KW, Bilsteins, etc.

+1,000 to this and this goes for any car. When modding a car keep this in mind: Fast, cheap, reliable...now pick two. If you want an actual upgrade in performance, you've got to pay to play as it were.

From what I have seen it looks like it is an American company that has their manufacturing done in Taiwan I believe.

I'm looking for a strut upgrade for my 2004 S and found this for a KONI Sport Suspension Kit. Not a bad price, free shipping, no tax....
