Look at Eddie's review on the feels and structure of those coilovers.

I've had Tokico RAK Competion Coilover on my previous car, and I love how it handles. That's why I spent lots of time in search for a company that allows me to have control of what I want. I was looking into ksport as well, but I've heard that they fall short of customer service. That's why I've moved on to F&F. The owners come from honda scene, so I guess that they can tell what we'd want in a good setup

I'm not saying that that Tein or HKS aren't overpriced. Even with Eddie saying they *look* to be of good quality, and the ride is nice...I'm still skeptical about the actual quality of the coilovers. They are brand new, and nobody has had them for an extended period of time. It may very well be a great product at a great price, but most people would like to go with a name they know and trust. Custom valving and spring rates are nothing if the long term quality isn't there. That's not to say that they aren't good quality...they just haven't been tried and trusted.
