First, why would you ship them out to anyone? What possible usable feedback could you get by shipping a set across the U.S. to a person whom you have never met before?

Second, why wouldn't you be the shop installing these? How are you going to know how they fit? Are you expecting someone to go pay for their own alignment after installing these? How about a corner balance?

Third, if you are going to try and sell them, maybe you should drive the car yourself and see how the handle.

I just don't understand the reasoning of having some random 996 owner (and no offense at all meant to any of you 996 owners) install, adjust, and work out the bugs in your product?

I could possibly understand getting a few sets out on the market for cheap to get some feedback on the forums and such, but I don't think that's what you are doing.

I'm not atatcking you at all, just trying to figure out why you decided to go this route instead of finding a local customer to help you out.

I wish they were for the C4S cause i have TT customers that would run them. If anyone has any questions on them, just call me. I will give you instructions, answers, and special pricing.

Ok so I am going to be the test guinea pig. I just ordered them.
My stock suspension pisses me off daily, so any change at this point will be fun to try.

i am such a die-hard beta tester.... lol
i'm looking forward to seeing how they perform on the street for DD and also for light track use.

since these have adjustable camber, anyone have tips on dialing this in especially with lowering the car 1" or so?

Also looking for a reasonable shop in the LA area to do install / align / corner balance. Anyone have a hook up?
The shop will get mention in my future thread here documenting the install etc.

Thanks to a hookup from a fellow 6'er, I will have the coilovers installed and aligned by Fabrizio at EF1 Motorsports in Long Beach. http://ef1motorsports.net
Spoke to Fabrizio at length about the install and alignment procedure, he is a very nice and knowledgeable guy.

Will probably do it next weekend, stay tuned...

Dan- Agency coilovers arrived today safe and sound via trusty 'ol Fedex.

All- Here's some pics for your viewing enjoyment and review of the actual items. These are big pics, if you don't see them right away give your browser time to load. Slow connections could take a few minutes.











They look and feel really solid / nice. I will try to get them installed this weekend, but with my buddy getting married on Saturday it might not be until the following weekend.
