Well I think I am going to be the guinea pig!!!

I'm finally going to slam my whip and I have 50k already so I'm replacing the shocks at the same time. TRD is way too expensive for my taste and coilovers are out of my reach if I want to be boosted sometime soon (DAMN CREDIT CARD DEBT FROM COLLEGE!!).

Well after doing some research I think they are a good buy. It is an accredited company since it is part of Hitachi Automotive Group. Probaly a good substitute for the TRD shocks since both are tied to major OEM's (Tier 1 Supplier).

Only thing I am curious about is how long they have been in the aftermarket part business. How experienced are they??

But hey they are a Tier 1 Supplier so they must maintain some strict quality manufacturing so I am guranteed good parts!!! They want fall apart the moment you put them on its all up to how they perform!!!

I know a few people running them and they love them. Quality is good and everthing. Good alternative to TRDs or Konis. I'm just planning to upgrade to coilovers soon though.
