cheapie coilovers

okay, i've been babbling about these 89 dollar coilovers since i first came on the board (actually i think i mentioned them in my first post).

well, lastnight after losing an ebay auction for a header at the very last second, i got pissed off and decided to buy something else. so i ordered a set of coilovers, 1-3in drop, generic brand. they should be here in a week or so and i'll post how good they really are. after all, I'd rather have the adjustability of coilovers, no matter how cheap, even if the ride was a little worse.

I was reading somewhere, that there is a company that does sell GC coilovers, as non labeled brands. So they should be good. But I dont know if these are them.

oh no! you ordered from shAIM hopefully they dont charge you out th as for shipping which ends up taking weeks

I've had bad experiences with them...with parts for my trucks and my civics dont anyone ever buy the adjustable camber arms.....after hours and hours or trimming they were not anywhere near clearing the wheel wells...horrible...

sorry...not being a dick...just ranting...good luck and let us know..

well the shiping was kind of high @ 24.00 but still.... 112 dollars for coilovers aint bad. thx for the warning though, we'll just have to see if they are as crappy as you say hehe

I bought arospeed coil oversa couple years ago, they were the cheapy ones at the time, like $150. They arent the greatest, but i dont drive it everyday so thier just fine for me...

I had Matrix coil-vers when I first got my hatch. I thought they were alright for the time being until I changed my shocks (Tokico), thinking the ride would improve. Not even a little did the ride improve, still bouncy as hell. I yanked out the coil-overs and installed a 2.5 drop spring (Gold line) These springs feel real close to stock, no bouncing at all and I was happy to get them wholesale for $100! I don't think I'll ever go coil-over again....unless I plan to get one of those coil-over and strut combo's that are an arm & a leg. Just my 2 cents on this.

i bought the coilovers for $89, there not too bad!the ride is definitely rougher..but i go for the looks anyways..lol, i like it lowered all the way.are you going to install them yourself???

[91civicDXdude]

yeah im going to install them myself. I dont really car about ride quality, its not like our cars ride like a Lincoln anyways, i just want to slam it. factory ride height looks so cheesed out. I've been fighting against my inner urge to cut the springs just to lower it but now that i got coilovers i can put that thought to rest
