They are descent enough for my application. Performance wise, they're cerainly not as good as say, Tein or HKS. They can hold their own against the competition surprisingly well, though. For $899 a set, brand new, you can't go wrong with the performance they do bring. They make a nice set for the SX4 and they are certainly way, way better than what was there before.
THere are guys on the Subaru forums that are really happy with them, especially considering the price
If i had a Subaru STi or something, I would definately step up the game and invest in a real man's coilover .....but that's a diiferent league all together. For this SX4, I think they're good enough. I will try to find the vid of a RRM Suzuki running on the Megans. Looks like they work well enough
I got these even cheaper because they're slightly used. Turbo kit was very lightly used as well.
Most of the stuff came off the SXForce show car that RRM did http://www.netcarshow.com/suzuki/2008-sxforce_concept/
It has motorcycle hadlebars lol! I schmoozed Rob at RRM into letting me buy it from him cheap. You will notice my turbo kit is the one from their show car. The car was basically only used at shows, so everything is very lightly broken in.
Actually, my engine cover looks a little banged up compared to what it did in the "SXForce" car. Trouble is, it was custom painted, and now it's hard to match. It was either repaint it, or leave it how it is and touch it up. I chose not to repaint it.
I have on order a set of Compomotive TH17's, from Fifteen52. Got them in grey, but they won't be ready for 4 months (at least). I have to wait for them to make new castings in May sometime.
RRM had another famous (within circles) car called "The Zuk". It had a custom roll cage. I was able to buy it (again, slightly used) from RRM as well.
RRM does a nice thing for their customers. The allow them to buy actual parts from their show/demo cars.
I paid around 13K for mine, but it had low miles on it when I bought it. Prices have come down a lot since then. The latest one has some new features, but i've never driven one. Mine came with a locking rear diff. You have to hold down the AWD button for a long time to lock it.
I remember it was very, very difficult to find a 5 sp. Especially a black one. The new ones have a 6 speed!
Found a Silver in stickshift .. 5K range (high miles)
