    My thoughts are...I was going to get this kit.....

    Turner sells it > Up check

    I think those spring rates are a TAD low....but don't necessarily pay much attention to that (As I'm not a Track Rat).

    I'm sure it's a great kit. I would give them a call, in addition to asking for input here.

    my cousin has this on his ZHP.

    great coilover setup. It handles quite nice with the TMS Sway bars paired with them coilovers.

    couple complaints from me:

    -the struts are stiffer than they need to be. It is significantly bouncy for the people in the back seats of the 4door. for a setup with 400lbs/in 470lbin F R it doesn't need to have shocks that stiff.
    -his rear strut perches broke twice while adjusting (i believe this maybe user error but I'm not sure as I wasnt there.)
    -no adjustment on the shock's dampening makes it a kit I don't want since I like to fine tune my street setup and track setup but not everyone needs that.

    I spoiled myself by putting on race spring and I loved the handling and the low. But because the dampening rates didn't match, I had to go back to Sport springs...now they aren't low enough when they prolly wlda been fine if I never had the race springs, lol. So, I see a guy on e46 selling a this TMS new set of coilovers for a good price, plus I may have found a buyer for my sport cup kit w/o even trying, so it seems things ay be coming together. I really don't need coilovers as I don't track or autox, but this price is the same as an H&R kit, so I'm considering it. I like it lower. Derbo, given those facts, what do u think, wld the coilovers be overkill?
