It's on their Japan site. Nothing on their US website. Probably $1100 in the US considering the 113,000 Yen an estimate of $1130.

If the rear shock is anything like the Si then the damper control is at the top of the shock which is practically hidden once mounted and not sure if you can adjust it. I have the EDFC setup I'm working on for mine so the motor will do the work for me.

I attached the two pictures one with the motor mounted and one with just the damper control. I think you MAY have access if the rubber cover on the side is removed. But definitely something to consider.

This is for the Si.
Well what's your budget?
Ktuned is good and I have driven a 10th gen with it.

Cant tell you about the BC havent driven it. Have had BC in the past on my other car and it's a great company.

What's good for one person may not be good for another person. It really comes down to budget and what your use is.

Saw these on Tein Japan a few days ago and spoke with a couple businesses specializing in getting parts from Japan last night about getting some, and according to one of them, apparently these are going to be difficult to ship from Japan? Something about couriers considering dampers to be "dangerous goods" now so they can no longer legally ship dampers internationally. First time I've heard of this.

Hopefully Tein USA will offer these soon

I just checked those Tein coilovers for the FK7. On the US side, we get the Street Basis Z version for $760

"BODY ROLL IS REDUCED COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL CAR TO IMPROVE CORNERING PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY. FOR LOW-SPEED DRIVING ON STREETS, MILD AND NON-EDGY RIDE IS PROVIDED. FOR HIGH-SPEED DRIVING AND/OR ON WINDING ROADS, WIDER CONTROL CAPABILITY WITH FIRM ROAD-HUGGING PERFORMANCE IS PROVIDED FOR EASIER UNDERSTANDING OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE."

I like the fact the cost of this is near parity with Eibach's lowering spring + camber arms for the FK7. Now I hope they at the EDFC version and it'll be on my list.
