It looks to be a decent setup for the money. It is untested as far as I know, so it may blow up the very first time it is used. Our cars are lightweight so it may last a long time. They are very adjustable and obviously not an extremely cheap POS kit. I'd ask for customer data or something. I wouldn't want to spend $900 on something to find out that there's a small problem that I cannot correct.

After doing some more reading, some Honda guys have had problems with drifting setups, but they're supposed to be great for FWD cars. It's still risky though.

I posted about these last year I think, it might have been this year, see what everyone said in that thread.

Try em!

I see the Tiens on the Korean sites all the time. Hell, I think in that last coilovers thread I posted in I posted the Tiens for us.

Yup, there's a thread about them in the KFX section.
