The only thing I don't like about these is the grub screw used to lock the spring base in place. After a few adjustments you'd have a pretty knarly thread.
Most coilovers use a second threaded ring to lock the main one in place, if you could get one of these made up to fit they'd be much better.

Fulcrum will quite happily make you up a MacP replacement with their own parts. Being in Melbourne and having both the technical expertise and knowhow to do it i thought i would do it myself. The reason i got the T3 over the Fulcrum ones was the square bearing, and i forgot to order them from Fulcrum. Was going to be like $10 more exxy anyway, so i thought i would give T3 a try, and i must say im VERY impressed with their turnaround, friendlyness and build quality.
As for springs, Kings can supply them easily. And shocks are variable, you can use most types. Im using Konis personally.

I dont know if you can see it, but in this pic:
http://www.technotoytuning.com/media/t3/products/u pper_hat1.jpg
The bearing is a parallelogram in section but spherical in depth. As i understand it this can go a long way to eliminating the pressure on only one point on the bearing, as it spins only in as single axis. Theoretically only having a single point will cause a flatspot on that point and stuff the bearing faster.
Hence having the "square" (for want of a better term) bearing is a stress relief point.

I wasnt aware that the cuscos had a square bearing stress relief, i was under the impression that they only had a single spherical bearing. Care to take pics, or should i just wait until i order mine?

Actually thinking about it are you sure that the Cusco ones you have are square bearing? I seem to remember that the ones we installed on a guys Supra were spherical bearing rather than square bearing, as they were flexible in all directions, not just in the horizontal plane.
