So someone listed these as being Cusco coilovers for an AW11. I think that is false. Front camber plates are probably Cusco, but Cusco USA says they did not make a coilover kit for this car. At first I wanted to get them rebuilt if they were for sure Cuscos, but if they weren't, I had lost interest.

But then I noticed I'm seeing a gland nut at the base of the strut shaft, so they should have replaceable strut cartridges, like the car has stock. For $400, these would probably be perfect for later putting some custom valved Konis in and replacing the springs with something good from Swift.

Maybe some modified stock strut bodies with GC style sleeves?

Stock front strut:

Definitely not sleeves, and those are Swift springs, which wouldn't make any sense to buy them if you're running GC sleeves. I don't know who else makes sleeves other than them, and ebay companies. I'll try to do some digging though.

Although I see what you're saying, it looks almost like oem shocks with threads cut in them, but they're not, because the stamping is different for the mounting brackets.

EDIT: As of right now I'm thinking old Endless Zeal, if they made some for your car, because of the colors and swift springs.

Honestly, that's $300 of springs, so I'd say it's worth it regardless.

Sleeves as in sleeves in general or just sleeves for struts? I don't know much about this stuff. Summit Racing sells a bunch of different sleeves but they could be the same as some of the ebay stuff.
 
The springs are listed as "040 and 060". I have no idea what that means. 4.0kg/6.0kg?
