"Designed for rally and/or dirt trail racing."

Yeah, hell of a market for this type of suspension on the TL.

if it was for an exotic or a real rally car then I could see someone getting it. but for a TL, I don't think so.

yeah picture that buying a suspension setup that's more then the car is worth these days!!!

That suspension is for the RSX only by the way it's the Dirtra set for gravel roads so like mentioned before, rally use setup.

It's not for the TL so it shouldn't even be a choice or debate. This actually belongs over in the RSX forums.

What it seems to offer that no one else does is the external fluid reservoir and adjustable rebound AND compression. Still way overpriced but they do combine more features than any other coilover.

FWIW, if you convert the stadard Koni Sports to have adjustable compression on top of the standard rebound, it's $100 per shock. You're looking at 1,000 in shocks retail price. Plus the springs and hardware. Those aren't out of line for the external reservoir plus the other features if you compare it to other brands for other cars. But there's no way in hell a TL or RSX can take advantage or needs an external reservoir. It's just wasted money. I do like the adjustable compression though.

Just now saw this.

For $5 grand, I'm saving for a little while longer to buy a new car. Do people actually spend that much money on suspension parts?
