Default 22B Coilovers

Hello

I've just seen these coilovers for sale at RCM and have never seen them before. Couldn't find any reviews about them. Anybody here that rides them or has ised them before? Genuinely interested in them.

I'd guess, WR99 strut housings, with 35N/mm springs front and rear. The WR99 kit used a Forester 18mm rear bar, to balance out the equal spring rates.

£4,500

Edit: I picked my Billy's up, brand new un-used for £500
And original P1 springs for £200
(going back a bit mind, but you get the point)

I've modified a few Bilstein sets with my springs: gc/gd 43/39N/mm or gc 34/27.5Nmm.

GD left hand pic.

I increase the bearing area and increase the front droop (right hand pic gc front - stock front gc on left v increased droop version on right).
Completely change the damping and make it digressive.
Change the gas pressures.
Change the bump stops.
