I have had my T1Rs for a little over a month now, putting around 1000mi on them.

Comparing them with stock and with the dampers on the second setting, you can feel a significant increase in stiffness over stock. Small bumps are felt significantly more than with the stock suspension.

As for cornering prowess, the stock body roll is all but eliminated, and the increase in suspension stiffness tends to inspire a little more confidence. There is an increase in road feedback while cornering, although damper settings need to be fairly fine tuned to find significant balance while negotiating bumps in mid corner.

I was very pleased with the rideheight adjustment capability of the coil-over. Strut length and spring tension are optimally maintained regardless of the set ride height.

Any noise?

I've been told that these coilovers are very underated. Would love to hear a little more feedback from you guys that are using them.

AJ Racing raves about this coilover.
Yup. Not trying to slam AJR, but I would be praising the coilovers too if they were my product.

I am not trying to praise our own product and we are actually proud of having these suspension welly developed.

I have been working with USTCC and Honda Challenge race teams to develop these dampers. We consider the adjustability, comfort and performance carefully over and over. We did a lot of road and track testing to ensure the dampers are durable and consistant after long time abbusing. Basically test, collect data and develop then we finally come up with the suspension which can suitable for daily drivers and weekend racers. We did our homework and it is not definitely something we buy and sell

These look like the ones that I will go with, great price, looking to lower it with similar to stock feel but eliminate body roll.

I'll give the review after I have them on.
