Do yourself a favor and focus on getting something a little less exotic. Just find a quality single (maybe double) adjustable set of dampers and start there. As someone else suggested, maybe try Fortune Auto. Good dampers have a finite life but normally can be rebuilt. Getting a set that ISN'T exotic means finding a place to rebuild them won't be nearly as difficult.

I'm happy with my Fortunes. OP you would also likely be happy with bc, feal or any of the other entry level brands that OptionZero mentioned.

Gomer is right. If you plan on doing this for a while, the coil-over will need to be rebuilt or you may want them valved for stiffer springs. It is a lot easier to do that when you aren't shipping your coilovers half way across the world and translating emails.

I had a set of Fortune 500’s before and I believe they are a excellent quality coilover for what they are a specially when trying to keep on a budget. Just make sure the coilovers you are using are valved for their intended purpose. If you use your coilovers for what they were built for look toward to rebuilding them.
