Has anyone tried? I don't track and I just want to be able to have the perfect height, will this do?

Just been doing the reading on these and they sound great! Excellent price too.
MY07 3.0R Auto
Reversing camera, "road kill" sound deadener in all doors and parcel shelf. Whiteline sway bars (front and rear).
Dyno Tune by Vin @ Docklands STi +10-12KW and much better response. Got a 3.0R? Do it now.

Hey mate, yeh i got them fitted on my MY06 Lib 2.5i sedan. I brought them and had fitted at Wholesale Suspension up here in Syd. I was told that they(Wholesale Suspension) re-valved and re-sprung them to suit Aussie road conditions (be careful as they are imported by a few company's now and Wholesale Sus are the only ones i believe to inform you that this has been done) I've had them for bout 7-8 months now and i love em, had no drama with them so far, easy and good adjustability...these will go as low or high as you'll want. and can get them serviced here in Syd if need be.

Ultimately it depends what you want them for, i don't track my car or nothing like that. so they should hold up fine. :D

Cheers

I had these fitted on my 06 rex. I thought for the money they were pretty good although they seem to be prone to rattling. I thought it may have been just mine but a number of people that fitted them to their rexes seemed to have the same issue. Eventually the additonal noise got to me and i traded them for some h&r springs about 3 months later.

Ride was good though.

I used to sell them for years.. then they did something and all of a sudden they started to play up after 12 mths.. rattle like a smokers chest but handling is very good..
ill have a new coilover for the Libs in about 3 weeks... differnet design to BC to elliminate the rattle but will be the same specs

just out of interest, what is the component/ design fault of the shock that causes the rattle?

there are a few

Pillow Balls for the fronts stick
Something in side the shock its self yet when pulled apart its all good but soon as its back together.. problems persists even with new shocks.
Springs bind alot even with coil wrap
