Glad to see someone is finally giving this a shot! Yes my post was a joke for sure

I'm looking at picking up a set this week as well, trying to get the hookup on a set for $750 shipped. If I do I'll share the info.

Looks like a decent kit..interested to see ride quality and quality overall. I had QA1's on my Lightning and I was having to have them rebuilt all the time. I've read mixed reviews overall but I'm excited to get it back

I called Megan racing, going to try and get a set for a review for you guys as well.

Good idea.....the only bad thing about this whole deal is I cant usually wait so I end up being the one that "tests it out". For the most part it has worked out well, but I have had some busts as well

[EcoPowerParts]

I couldn't wait, I have a set on the way as of today.

[darreli]

Cool! They definitely worked on the SHO!

[EcoPowerParts]

Is the car driveable? If so how do they ride?

I know that feeling!! LOL I'm the same way! I knew I liked you for some reason!

I need to get my windows retinted...I dont like it without....needed to strip it for a court appearance though

[darreli]

The cars all back together, still needs an alignment. Will be done later today. I'll know more about the ride over the weekend. The plan was to hit the strip tonight but I cant get out of work

Off topic,  Yep! Thanks! I really like them too. Currently with Nitto NT05 255/45/20 but I believe I'm switching back the the factory size 245/45's and going with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I've wore the Nittos out already

how did you like the nittos i was thinking of running them on my extra set of rims maybe the nt555 instead. crossing my fingers that the coilovers are amazing. might have to start making the wife mad and buy parts for the sho before sell the mazda hahahaha

I'll know more about the coilovers after a few days of driving. The fitment was nice however.

The Nittos were ok dry traction wise. Pretty scary in rain on the freeway. Pick up pretty much everything you run over and have a TON of road noise...and are only good for about 10,000 miles..all depends on what you're looking for I guess. Look into the Invos over the NT555s in my opinion.

i have the invos on my second set for my mazda and i am not a fan they dont hold. i should have stated these will be for more of a track day thing i'll run the stockers with a all season most of the time

Sorry for further derailing this thread. But my Mickey Thompson DR's have been excellent tire, great in the rain to boot and they are quite. Darrell road in my car and he can a test to the road noise as well. And the price is right for them as well.

I drove around with 6 people a couple days back- I figured it out to be around 1400 pound of people and luggage.
Car handled it surprisingly well.

Awesome! Those are the kind of real world results we need!
