I have had a set in my hands as well as riding in a few cars with them. The build quality is far better than any of the others mentioned, minus ohlins. They have huge pistons as well. You can get custom spring rates with no extra charge or upgrade to swift springs for ~$300. I got custom rate but not swifts for now, but I did the radial bearing upgrade, which is a must for any coilover with pillowball top mounts.

again, I will give a full review once I get them on....as for Broadway Static, they don't make an m coupe version yet, but it's in the works. I personally think that the standard FA's will go low enough for 99% of people, meaning the broadways are unnecessary. But we will get back to everyone on that.
Awesome. I will be getting the swift spring upgrade but will need to ask on Monday what they recommend for the coupe as they only have roadster spring rates on there which are 10/10. What custom rate did you go with?
