hey 
Did a little research thanks to an eBay item chedman brought to my attention
XYZ Suspension of America,
Part of XYZ Racing
now has coilovers available for the 09+ FX35/FX50
Theyre a pretty well known company in Europe....sponsor Alfa Romeo in the WTCC, and have been around for over a decade...and claim to make products for many well-known companies in Japan, the US, and Europe as well...
Information:
Top mount
In XYZ standard design on shock absorbers in Super Sport (SS), all McPherson struts come with pillow ball upper mounts and Wishbone struts are equipped with aluminum top mounts. The pillowball top mount or aluminum top mount is not available for a few certain applications due to the OE upper mount with no holes on it.
PS) The pillow ball top mount is able to adjust camber degree, and to increases stability and handling of your vehicle by 10%. However, the pillow ball might be prone to creating slight amount of noise over big bumps, and this does not cover any warranty.
Mono-tube design
Mono-tube design is adopted for this coilover system as it can retain stable damping and have varieties of response to uneven roads and bumps to keep the comfort. The super sport damper with big piston diameter of 45mm can be used for weekend race as well.
Fully-adjustable lower mount
A moveable bottom mount is adopted; both ride-height and pre-load can be adjusted by adjusting the bottom mount. Use of aluminum material enables to reduce weight.
Damping adjustable
Super sport damper has 30-way damping settings to bring the best performance for different road conditions. The shock uses needle valve to have linear damping adjustment at each level.
Anti-rust
All threaded parts are coated with Fluorine to prevent corrosion or adherence. A bottom mount is anodized.
Coil spring
99% applications come with pillow ball upper mount to enable you to experience the driving feel directly. Super Sport damper is equipped with the springs that have the most perfect spring rates.
Aluminum bottom mount
Lightweight aluminum bottom mount is used to reduce the weight and to have ability to dissipate heat.
Spring bearing
The piece put between the spring and the locking ring is Teflon bearing, it can eliminate strange noises and allow a vehicle to move more smoothly when turning.
-Fully adjustable
-custom spring rates: 8k-14k recommended
-no top camber plate, aluminum mount
-locking collar
-no custom colors as of yet (may change with increased demand)
-1yr warranty full coverage on the shocks ---- $50 for spring replacement
$1300 + free shippping lower 48 states

(does not state xyz namesake, but Manny confirmed he "knows the seller")
These are extremely tempting...so I may postpone my exterior mods and go for the coils sooner rather than later... They are currently moving production facilities so any orders direct will have a 1 month wait, while the other links I think have them in stock.
These look like a good buy....and the company is headquartered right outside of Philly!
I did some more research... XYZ Auto Parts is a Tiawan-based company, while XYZ Suspension of America is based in Philly.
I tried calling the XYZ Auto parts number, but it doesn't work. I sent an email also.
I spoke to Manny at XYZ Suspension of America (Philly) and did speak with him.
I also looked around the net and it appears for most automobile applications they use the same factory/design as d2 and k-sport...but those dont have any available for the 2nd gen FX's...but Manny said these are made and fit the 09+ FXs, and they have sold about 6 so far with no negative feedback.
So, maybe somebody (me?) should go for it just to see what happens...
This company is in the US so its not like youll have to battle a company in Tiawan if there is an issue.....
It just strikes me as wierd that there are NO OTHER 2ND GEN COILS besides these, which are arguably made at the same factory as others and re-branded/reworked to different specs...... I guess we will have to wait and see.
I offered to drive to their office for fitting but he said they "dont really do installs at that location" So idk...
