Yep. Came on mine when imported into the country.

Very hard but did a good job until one of the rears started leaking.

No it's GAB, they're quite popular with the Honda boys.

I bought a set cheap from a mate to go on an Evo I owned a number of years ago and found them that hard to the point the car felt dangerous to drive IMO and they were soon sold on. Your call but I'd never consider buying another set for any make of car.

Like any coilovers they'll only last so long before the need of reconditioning / servicing. Might be an idea to see who will do it and for how much and weighing the cost against getting a new set of bcs

Thanks for the replies,no they're gab,if they're hard on the road I think i'll leave them where they are because the roads around here aren't great
