Ractive Coilvers

Thinking about buying Ractive coilovers for 90 dollars, never used, now my question is will they fit on my honda civic lx? And are they good quality? and whats envolved in putting them on?

there are a few things you need to thing about. First off you get what you pay for. I have never used ractive springs before but for 90 bucks for coilovers they can't be the best. But that's just my 2 cents.

I bought no name coilovers for 90 bucks. They are decent.

You WILL NEED TO BUY NEW STRUTS. If not immediately, in a week or so. I just got some KYB GR2 for about 200 a set and my ride quality is super nice now, even with generic coilovers.

it will be very very bouncy if you dont get new struts.

they kid im buying them off is from this forum..but my memory is pretty bad so im sorry i forgot his name, but he got them after he wrecked his hatch. and he said that 90 is the lowest price that he will go to sell them. Oh yea i went down to the court house and they said that my trial for my "red light" ticket will only be in about a month or two.

yea, my boy has Aerospeed coilovers and GR2's in his Accord, and its hella bouncy, IMO, if you want good coilovers, get the Skunk2's if you got the $$, but you can get the Grounc Control ones for a lil cheaper and they are Just as good!!!
