I believe the apexi ws are discontinued.
I actually purchased the last set from Sparkmotoring.
AND yes, they are adjustable.
Best bet is to go with Tanabe, or Teins.
Goodluck with your search online.

I had the Teins...the springs were too soft (low spring rate) and I would bottom out all the time...I got sick of it and put back my old H&R sport. Well having the H&R SS, I miss the stiff shocks. So I want something that you can adjust with stiffer springs. I don't wnat to buy the Tein SS kit and put out more money to get upgraded springs.
The omnicoilovers are cheap at 650, but they don't seem to be adjustable.

Toyota Tacoma truck. Made in the USA. Assembly plant in calfornia but engines are made in Japan and imported to USA.
Apple ipod. Engineered and designed in US. Parts from Taiwan and elsewhere. Final assembly in China.
If you want to get really detailed, think about the iron ore, coal, steel that china imports to make these products. Steel from USA and Korea for example. Other minerals from Brazil or Australia. But final product available to consumer assembled in Japan or China. Thus, "made in Japan" or "made in China". Chances are, anything you buy today will have some part made from China regardless.....

My Fujitsu laptop marked "made in Japan" but the DVD rom and stuff are made in south east asia...
so "made in japan" means that the final Assembly is in JAPAN.

The best combo will be Bilsteins since H&R and Bilsteins are both made in Germany

Bilstein Sport goes with H&R Sport. Bilstein has lifetime warranty and H&R is 100% made in Germany.

i would pick Apexi WS over Tein SS/Basic, quality is a excellent, and the spring rate is slightly higher
Tein Basic will bottom out on bumps and holes, and Apexi will give better handling too

nobody can lie about where they are made from, period.
i dont htink you know shit on this and just making things up, you gotta prove it.
and i don't recall Taiwan made any cars while they are good at computers
all you saying is just want to tell us the Megan coilovers from Taiwan are good, but i don't think so, i only trust Made in Japan
