Just wanting to no if any members on here are running geckos street or racing coilovers on here?

Same as D2/K-Sport?

Have a look at the TEIN Flex Z. They are made here in Yokohama but use a closed non-serviceable damper to save production costs. When the damper wears out you unscrew it and slot in a new one. They've been selling like hot cakes here in Japan. The "my Prius is a race car" guys love em.

I have been quoted $1580 for the flex Z a little out of my price range and my car is of the road I've heard they use the same sleeves like the teins hmm they are really nice thou hmmmm need more money

That's twice what they are going for here in Japan. You guys are getting ripped. Even RRP here is still under AU$1200. If you are going to have to drop $1500 on Z Flex then I'd grab a set of stock KYB shocks, get your car back on the road, and save for something decent like Shockworks. I've recently put in a set of HKS Hipermax GTs but going on the Z Flex price you'll be looking at AU$2k+ for them.

Check out MCA coilovers. They are made in Queensland. Lots of happy Subaru owners use them.

I took your advice and went with the Tein Flex Z I'm so happy in knowing i spent that little extra and got the japan made can't wait to slot them under the lib thanks again

I hope you are happy with them. Just remember that the more you lower the car the more you'll have to correct the geometry and things like caster, camber, roll centre etc.
