I've heard very good things. With everything you get what you pay for. Obviously these are not meant for the track. But for a street setup it seems like a good deal.

Feature wise, I think they're the best bang for buck. They're mono-tube, and have height and dampening adjustment. Decent warranty too. Only problem is, the reviews I've found are all from the slam crowd. But they do seem to be decent enough for street use, which is the majority of what you need.

I just picked up the same koyo rad (automatic) for 115 shipped.. Will it really hold its own if I decide to go for a mild boost setup in the future? I was thinking of a quick-spooling t25 pushing conservative 8 lbs. sorry for thread jacking I'm just really curious.

P.S. the build is looking great.
