Default Godspeed Coilovers

Ran across these while browsing around aimlessly. I've known Godspeed for along time do to some of their cheap intercoolers in the past, but now they seem to be more focused on suspension, and they have a kit for the 964 which seems a bit to good to be true, but who knows.

Current Price is 900$ for the set; yay or nay?

1991-94 Porsche Carrera 2 / 4 Godspeed Project MonoMAX coilover suspension kit

Applications:

1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 Porsche Carrera 2 / 4 (964 body)
Features:

Front camber plates with pillowball mount for camber adjustment
Spring rates: Front: 6 kg/mm & Rear: 12 kg/mm
40 precise levels of damper adjustment
Monotube shock design
Powder coated shock body
Lightweight aluminium shock body and brackets
52mm shock body with a 44mm internal piston
Independent ride height and spring preload adjustments
Italian IP F.A made shock oil with a high viscosity index
1 Year Warranty from Date of Purchase

Godspeed Project's MonoMAX is our premier single-adjustable coilover suspension kit. These coilovers are designed for both race and street use. The MonoMAX coilovers feature a monotube shock that is made out of a 52mm seamless carbon steel tube with a 44mm internal piston providing maximum strength and damper response. Cold wounded springs are made from high strength SAE9252 steel to optimize the balance between performance and comfort. Race quality Italian shock oil ensures consistent fluid viscosity in a wide range of temperatures which yields to consistent shock performance lap after lap. The CNC aluminium top hat is attached to the car via a pillowball mount that incorporates high performance Japanese KOYO bearing. The lower shock brackets are made out of light weight T7075 forged aluminium. The Mono-MAX offers 40 damper adjustments which adjusts both rebound and compression. Our coilover suspension kits includes a 1 year warranty.

I came across the same thing when browsing eBay for lowering springs. Nice idea. Proven?

Wish they had them for the earlier 964s.

Silvers do, apparently, so I'm surprised they don't

These Godspeed ones look like a really good deal. Almost too good. What am I missing?

Here is a link. And they do have them for early 964s too.

Looks like they have lots of Japanese car applications and it is not unusual to find coilovers for the Japanese cars in that price range. The price is tempting which makes everyone think this is one of those "too good to be true" deals. Maybe they haven't figured out that Porsche owners usually pay 3x more for their aftermarket parts.

Mkd I've spent the weekend in the car and they are really good. I thought there was a hitch as the price was so good. Seems that they haven't cottoned on to the 3x Porsche tax we usually get hit with.

Bang for buck best money I've spent on the car.
