Anyone hear of OBX suspension?

$675 for a complete coilover suspension? Supposedly they have helper springs and struts with 8 levels of adjustment, as well as 4" of travel on ride height. Is this just nuts, or am I seriously misinformed?

Don't know anything about their suspensions but their other products are very low cost, low quality, products made in Taiwan or Indonesia.

My Seats in my car are OBX.. the cost are lower then other racing seats. for sure..
But damm. they are nice. the confort is super. and I got them for almost 1 year, and I pass a winter with them, and they are in great condition .. I love them, and everyone that have try the OBX seats are really amazed by the quality/cost of those seats..

for the suspension, I cant tell.. but for sure its not the same thing to design a good seat vs a good suspension at good price..

Here a pics of my OBX , before people ask me..

Ooh look at the happy *little* piston...

Ya get what ya pay for, but then again sometimes you can find REALLY good deals.

Its cheaper than a GC setup.

Some OBX stuff are okay, alot of it is cheap tawainese garbage. OBX sells stuff made by different manufacturers IIRC, so basically, Mike seats were made by someone, and the coilovers were made by someone else, but both sold through OBX.

When it comes to suspension components though, I'd stick with something you KNOW for fact are quality... after all, these pieces hold the car up right?
