I got some of these wietec hicon GTNs (front coilovers and adjustable rear shocks as sidecarphil)
 


Front coilovers


Rear adjustable shocks


This photo shows them fitted as they came out of the box, rears are in the middle at clip 3 out of 5



the front has since been heightened as the sump (being a vr6 conversion) is very low! it now looks level all around. 

ride quality is good despite the heavy engine up front, plus it gets the power down very well (weight doesnt shift to the rear unlike with the soft rear shocks/springs that were originally fitted). its not harsh, but its firm. :smiley:

only thing that alarmed me was the lack of coilover spanner and the adjuster ring on the coilover strut is plastic  :undecided:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

the rear strut has 5 notches and a big C-clip, the lower spring plate can be secured in 5 positions depending on which notch you insert the C-clip into  :smiley:

I have a set of these as well and have to say they are perfect.

I got them for a really good price but even at the normal price they are totally worth it, really comfortable ride and handling whilst still being adjustable
