Kei Office
Kei = short for a certain person (ill let you guess who!) It's actually his little endorsed range of gear. So yes they do.

get a coilover kit (from t3 or otherwise) and convert your current struts using tokico inserts to be coilover
wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper

Is the product here:
http://www.technotoytuning.com/t3_site_pages/produ cts/front_coilover.html
a complete front coilover set-up (i.e. pay your money and you get sent exactly what you see in the pics) or a conversion service (where you have to supply struts to be converted)?
I assume the former. If I'm right, then I wonder if anyone has thoughts about the cost difference between:
1. Buying the bits for a conversion (from T3 or elsewhere) - sleeves, collars, springs, dampers - and getting the conversion done locally on your existing struts (cut struts, fit dampers, fit sleeves, etc.)
OR
2. Getting the T3 coilover conversion, where all you have to do is pay your money ($725 USD + postage) and get a pair of coilovers in the post. Postage be pretty pricey, I assume, which may be the big stumbling block.
I ask because I was considering joining in on the coilover kit group buy happening on Toymods, but since I would have to pay someone to do the conversion to my own struts anyway, I was wondering if it wouldn't be cheaper to just buy the whole shebang from T3...
Thus endeth my novel.

I have gotten a quote from Noltec in Sydney for a strut conversion. $350 I think it was for 2 struts converted to coilovers. I'm also a financial member of toymods so could be entitled to a bit of a discount but I think it only applies to actual parts, not labour.
