"coilovers" shouldn't cost $55 lol. That just sounds and looks like guaranteed crap. If you're gonna buy coilovers, don't be stingy, man

I have my set laying around. PM me an offer and they're yours. It'll have to wait until August 19th as I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow.

I love how you guys talk out your ass...
Have any of you ever used them? I bet the answer is no.... For daily driving, they work just fine. I have a set on my vehicle, which have been there for about 6 months, not one issue, no noises, and are pretty solid. Now I of course have another, more expensive set laying around for just incase these do die. Oh and your correct, "coilovers" should not cost 55 dollars, thats why they are coilover SLEEVES.

^ Okay, fine. But do you have any semblance of ride quality or proper adjustability?

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Jun 30, 2010 - 2:58 PM)  ^ Okay, fine. But do you have any semblance of ride quality or proper adjustability? Sure, with any lowered vehicle you lose some ride quality. I'm no expert on suspension, but I can explain it how I feel it everyday while driving. 1. I don't continue bouncing after hitting a bump. 2. I have to slow down to 10 mph to take a speed bump/hump, lowered by 1.5 front and back. 3. I can take off ramp switch back at 80mph, and still feel like there is more room before I lose it. Thats about it, for simple daily driver that is looking for lowering their vehicle on a budget they work fine. For track, or anything quite serious...I wouldn't risk it. I guess the OP would have to specify his want/needs. They will not be a good replacement for OEM if you want a direct answer. As well if you are doing the backs, you best do the front as well =P This post has been edited by rave2n: Jun 30, 2010 - 3:03 PM |
