Default FM V-Maxx coil overs, what do you guys thinks?

These are not available yet but im hoping someone that knows alot about suspension can help me out. how do you think these will be compared to other options, going off the spring rates they have posted in the description.

pretty good deal, 750 package comes with the fm sways and v-max coilovers, will most likely be getting these because of price just looking for some input. The lady at fm said they will probably do some group buy on them when they come in later this month.

They do sound pretty good for the price. I drool over those AFCOs though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are $300 ebay coilovers repackaged by FM with different topmounts and now they want 2x the price? **** that.

They have different springs on the rear for sure. I don't know if the top hats are different. This is an ok price but I would like to see someone send a set of Racelands off to get a shock dyno. I think that might be the cheap setup.

I'm considering a set, they seem decent for the price.
