        LSD would need to go through our US Office, so you would need to enquire directly with them (909-592-5933)

            So is there anyway that these coils will have the 4 stud top mount? Unless there is some major benefit to the 3 stud design, I would really like to keep the same stud count as OEM struts..

              They would be the same as the oem sample fitment. The images on the first post is for the BMW E92 (1st image) and Ford Focus ST (2nd image)

                This is music to my ears . If you guys can't find someone local (and the quota is met) for OEM samples, shoot me a PM.

                  10k mile update from our VW Golf mk6 GTi tester:

                  "My story, I found MFactory asking for testers for their new coilover set on the MK6 forums. I think I am one of the first ones ever to lay hands on this specific coilovers as a customer. At the time there wasn't any reviews or users telling about the product, so I took a risk there. The price was great for the listed specifications, so why not give a try.
                  I ordered the set with harder springs, as I was lowering the car, they will help you to choose spring ratios to your needs. Even when the springs are quite hard, it doesn't feel like a "rocksledge" at all. After a bump, they absorb the impact well and will not leave the suspension to bounce up'n'down. Drove 1000 miles trough european roads in almost one sitting and still felt comfortable.

                  I received them around March 2016, the first "revision" had couple very small things wrong, they worked great even then. After reporting back to them about the "bugs" of the coilovers, they sent me redesigned parts wich arrived very fast. I even asked for shorter front springs, no problem they said and in couple of weeks I had them in my hands, for free. Tells something about the company, right? Seems like they really want this thing to work.

                  I have driven all kinds of suspensions, the thousands-of-dollars brands like Eibach, KW, H&R and so on. All kinds of roads, tracks, snow, salt and so on... Their set performs just like those high-end brands.
                  Back to the MFactory coilovers. I have driven my Mk6 Gti with MFactory coilovers for 10 000miles now, Finnish winter, trough Europe, tested on Nürburgring, Alproads etc. and all I can say about them is Amazing. For the price they are truly on point. The build quality is really good.

                  I lifted my car up for winterstorage today and decided to check the condition of coilovers. No oil leaks, no visible wearing or corrosion. Ready for the next years adventures.

                  My advise would be, if you are looking for a new set of coilovers, you really should consider their product. It's no joke or just a shady way to rip your money with cheapass parts.

                  This is 100% MY OWN opinion of the product.
                  If you want to know anything related to my user-experience of the coilovers, feel free to ask. My experience with the company has been only positive, so don't be afraid to contact them.

                    Like I said before, if I wasn't already committed to another brand/set of coilovers, I would be in.

                    My set will be here in a couple weeks.

                    Also as I am sure you already know, with the popularity of the Miata, you guys should also make an application for them.

                      We certainly would be open to that, however, as we don't have any reputation in the MX5 community, entering it would be full of scepticism and very hard to enter with a new product

                        Stephen! It's great to see you back on this forum working on more new parts for these extremely fun but often neglected little cars!

                        I've actually been eyeballing some K-sports the last few days.... I got bitten by the Autocross bug this past weekend. At the price point you mentioned I'm definitely in for a set of these coil overs. Since winter will be upon us here any day now I won't be able to help with any sort of testing until April or May 2017, but I still have my fair share of spare parts kicking around if you need to double/triple check any dimensions (struts, mounts, spindles, etc.)

                            Well, it really depends on what forum you go on to. If you post in miataturbo.net (the most immature car forum), you would probably get 5 and then go from there. miata.net is where all the grumpy old guys are who are much harder to impress. There is also less of them who buy out of the box suspension since they just assemble themselves, but they like quality so you should give it a shot. The miataturbo guys will spend their money on anything lol.

                              OK guys, that's us got the 5! (of course, if anyone else is interested, you can still join)

                              We would require a 50% deposit, then the rest upon completion.

                              Before we can start production though, we will need an oem sample of all 4 struts/springs. I also need to find out the oem spring rates, so that I can work out the motion ratio calculations to provide you guys with an oem-balanced spring rate (This is very important, unless you have experience with setting up your car with custom spring rates, which are an extra $50/corner)

                                I agree with Cloud that the MiataTurbo forum would be the best place to start if you're looking to break into that market. Those guys were even interested in my Toyota transmission adapter plates (talk about an obscure product). Unfortunately we haven't been able to find a properly-clocked bell housing that's a direct fit between an R-gearbox and my adapter plate... which means the best trans swap option for them is still the RX7 turboII trans & a different adapter plate made by someone else.

                                Anyway.... Turbo miatas also struggle with transmission and rear end breakage problems (just like us, breaking gears and differentials). Even used factory Torsen rear differentials go for a pretty penny. That may be a market worth exploring as well...
