was $195 coilovers: now get a grip

[brianm at earendel.org (Brian McGarvey)]

basically 95% of the problem with the $195 coilovers isnt the attachment 
method or the coil type, because as all the engineers here know if the 
constant K spring is good enough. 
99% of the problem is that its not a known brand. ie if TT started selling 
them 99% of the people who are complaining would say they are great. The 
only diff I can see between the fancy ones and these is the following.

#1 the dif is the collars are not anodized.. a $5.00 difference
#2 the springs are 6" instead of 7" 
#3 the top hats are 2 parts. 
#4 they are only for A1's no generic design required.
#5 nobody has run them before. We'll im solving that after I use them on 
the track I'll give em to either Patrick or Allyn who we all know will 
abuse the crap out of them. Koni's an all. (i'll need something in return 
to prop the race car on). and have a real world abuse test.

So for $195 get a grip it's asmall biz doing us a favor. they could easily 
chage $500.00 and nobody would complain.

/me rant off..
Get a damn grip.
