HSB's, seen them on the MLR, they look pretty decent. Are they there own design or just a BC in different colours tho??

HSD's are supposed to be an in-house thing

HSD are distributed by Driftworks (or they share the same address so I guess they do) I'm pretty sure that they are nothing to do with Bren and he's BC in Europe. Who knows where they originate from mate; it sure as hell ain't the West Midlands.

Yes, I bet it's from far far away, but if they do a good job and don't fall to pieces.

I was thinking of BC's for a moment but have plumped for something more tried and tested.
You looking for new un's for yours then I take it??

Making do for now but these things have been 'in development' for ages. I had spoken to someone on here, don't remember who, about these and when I saw them listed on DW as new products, I thought I would share the news.

I've not seen the BC prices but I guess they are very similar. What did you go for then? PM if you prefer.

Probably good value at the price. I don't like how far the slot on the top mount goes to the edge of it though. Rather soft spring rates too. Look great though

I've bought Tein Monoflex with EDFC, picked up a bit of a bargain, almost new ones that look like new and have done circa 1k.

Hope they do the job!

I had the same on the GTR and rated them quite highly. The EDFC is a bit so-so; I'm sure it works but I'm also sure your mind talks you into thinking it's better than it is

Yeh, we'll see, the EDFC wasn't really a must but it all came in 1 go, be interested to see if it actually works as well as it says on the tinterweb!

Hope so, as putting all that cables in is going to be a ball ache!

Murano has it in his GTR now. You could always ask him if you want a test or opinion. Rumour has it, he has even driven the car off of his driveway to test it
