    I just talked with Brian at ADS, and there is somewhat of a price increase. After 3 years of being able to keep prices the same, the springs they use (Eibach) went up in cost causing ADS to have increase their own price.

    Aka, buy now at the lower price if you can find it.

    Aren't they already the most expensive coilovers compared to king, icon and fox?

    Not according to DSMs website. I am not up to date with the current MSRP however. Click the brand for the link to see products.

    Kings - $1426
    ADS - $1502
    Icon - $1575
    Fox - $1595

    Depending on who you go with, you might get a discount for ordering multiple parts together. Wouldn't hurt to ask..

    Yes but it is not worth it really. Only saves like a hundo.

    It depends on your budget and driving style. I opted to get the non-resi coilovers simply because it saved me ~$150 for the fronts alone, but more so because I don't do enough high speed stuff that would heat the shocks/oil up enough to benefit from having the extra oil. Don't get me wrong, I'd still prefer to have R/Rs with clickers, but that's more of a novelty or peer pressure/cool factor for me and my application.

    Well, I should have a set of ADS coilovers with resis in the next few weeks. After nearly 9 years of waiting I'll finally be mid travel. Hopefully they'll blow these BOSS coilovers out of the water.

    DSM. Snagged em before most recent price increase. Pretty excited, I've been drooling over high end COs for way too long.
