Re: Coil Overs

Dude don't even install them. They seriously ride the exact same as if you just took your stock springs out and didn't have anything there. I made that mistake before and I really wish I would have done it right the first time. I recommend some Ground Control coilovers and a good aftermarket shock if you're looking for something decent and not too high priced, but also a decent ride.

Re: Coil Overs

well i got em on bouncy as hell but looks good. it actually rides better then it did tho. usualy when i hit a bump it wouldnt absorb any of it it just made a loud ass noise and shutterd the whole car. now it just bounces it out, whitch is fine for me but i will eventually change them.

Re: Coil Overs

I love my Tokico Illuminas.....they work great and with a matching spring to lower the car a little.....My car looks good and isnt too low...and it feels much better than the stock ones....not too stiff and not too soft....How much did you pay for those?

Re: Coil Overs

For sure, I want to see some pics. How much did you lower it to? Anyways, I dont have experiance with ebay coilovers but be careful when you drive. Because too much bounching wouldnt be a good thing going around a corner.

Re: Coil Overs

You still need to just get some clear corner lenses off ebay man. lol

Looks good though. Now all it needs is a 4g63 in it...
