Re: coilover development/group buy ??

Their area code is Chicago..I read their descriptions of coilover kits..no real info as far as perch setup (dual adjustable or not), no mention of shock rebound/compression adj. features, Road Magnet Springs $300.00 extra !!..their stock "DRG" springs must be worth $200 for all 4 then, ...I get the feeling their strut mounts won't fit the SVX without some mods or you get stock mounts/no pillow mounts.

Pricing for a Group Buy of 15 equals what they are selling their present available setups for... they are fairly cheap but they need to tell potential buyers what they are getting..spring weights, mounts, adj. features or no, struts from ???

Posts:64 DGR Coilovers ST170?
Hey Guys,

I own a 2003 ST170. I purchased a few months ago a set of DGR coilovers for 03-05 focus (as stamped on box that arrived). Immediately i found the adjustable camber top spacing to be incorrect for my strut tower holes, so i sent them back assuming i got the wrong ones and im sent another set. Now this time around everything looked ok, i installed the fronts, aside from the fact the camber plates can't be accessed due to the too small a sized hole on the strut tower, but i can deal with that at the moment i just want these god damn things in...

So in go the rear, until the upper shock mount wasn't matching up, then the design of the spring cup seemed off. I basically packed it in, told the supplier this was yet again the wrong set and i want my money back to purchase something purpose built for the ST170. After too long arguing and *****ing, DGR wouldn't take them back and he was stuck with a set of used ford focus coilovers he had to sell for cost price to get rid of. Then he couldn't sell them....then im told he thinks they may very well fit if i give it another shot.

Sooo here i am, not wanting to potentially waste a day of my weekend, im wondering if anybody could confirm or deny with the photos below if these damn things will fit...
