$199ish for 4.

Anyone have any luck or non-luck with these puppies?

Looks like a copy of the dropzones that are offered for most other cars. Probably not a real good ride. More for looks.

Yup... when people say coilovers they can mean 2 things... these crappy sleeve/spring setups(dropzone,ebay)($100-200), or a full adjustable strut and spring combo (JIC, Tein, QA1, D2, K-Sport)($1000-2000).

So these are more for the person who want's the drop more then the proformance?
The only reason I offered up this site is A: Its a trused site by many of my friends and B: there was another thread on coilovers and I didn't want to bring up new questions in an old thread. (I was told not to actualy

)

yeah, for people who want the drop and have no money or concern for ride quality or safety

The no money end of it I can get, but why the safty? What makes this product when used or In use unsafe?

***DAMON*** · 04-10-2007, 03:17 PM

you get what you pay for is all im saying... the quality of coilover sleeves is usually very low, making them prone to breakage... something about my suspension collapsing on me in a corner at 50 mph makes me really nervous. Not bashing the product, just makes me a little too nervous personally...

MemphisR · 04-10-2007, 04:02 PM

maybe you should slow down when you hit your corners then :-) hahaha

truth be told for the price these arent bad at all figuring they are only as good as the strut you choose to use with it. . . obviously it wont be as good as a tein or jic setup, but if you got 1000 - 2000 to spend, odds are you got something better to spend it on . . .

***DAMON*** · 04-10-2007, 05:28 PM

^thats your opinion, i was referring more to a turn on the freeway... you may be going 80 like youre supposed to, you dont have to be speeding through a corner to have a huge crash if your suspension collapses...

do whatever you think, but personally I wouldnt touch it... thats all Im saying

I agree, but building on a budget with one income, two kids and a house is ruff some times.

***DAMON*** · 04-10-2007, 11:37 PM

If I was on a budget, Id run drop springs with stock struts, then add struts later- using these sleeves would probably bring you more problems down the road Im guessing...

***ASG14*** · 04-10-2007, 11:40 PM

As I say. don;t have the money to do it CORRECTLY? Dont do it! Thats why I do not have some projects done.

The only issue with come inspection time and winter driving. I like the idea of being able to up the car when needed.

Doing it Correctly doesn't mean you have to spend top dollar. That is why they call is a "Budget build". However I do see where your coming from.
