Hey guys, what do you think of these coilovers?? For a budget system, will these do?

anyone have these?? Are they any good??

 

Well i guess if they do what you need them to do there good ive never used them before so i couldn't tell ya!! I may by them since im on a budget too!!

 

seems like an amazing deal to me!!

 

they'll probably bounce to much... they look cheap.....

 

arospeed = ricer brand.........

 

I know buddy, but that's pretty cheap for coilovers. And hey, if they get the job done, and perform better than stock, isnt that what we're looking for?

 

i would rather have racing beat springs for $200. in the end you ALWAYS get what you pay for

 

springs aren't coilovers, my friend. I NEED to have the ability to adjust my suspension

 

you need height adjustability ??? i have adjustable shocks

 

yes sir, height adjustability is what i need. adjustable shocks are for stiffness, no?

 

what do you need to adjust the height for ?

 

Various environments, such as snow, tarmac, gravel.... i want my car low to the ground for races, but also the ability to take speed bumps

 

do you have any idea how much of a PITA it is to adjust those ????

 

i think so wheels have to come off. Anyway, that's not the point. Are these worth the money, and would they be better than stock??

 

i'm pretty sure its gonna have the typical BOUNCY ride........

 

hmmm... alright... well thanks for your comments vosko, really appreciated.

 

i've been in a few honda's with those. not worth the $$$$$

 

I think you can get ground control setup for like $400
with eibach springs

 

Yes, but the difference is $250.
For $150, you can improve the handling of your car.
i think that's a pretty sweet deal, to tell you the truth

 

I think everybody is trying to tell you not to skimp here. If you have to buy the GC's anyway because these bounce/break/whatever, you will have wasted money.

 

Those arent true coilovers.If you read what it says they fit over your existing shocks/struts. If you buy the GC setup you get springs and struts (Im assuming) for $400 bucks, with the "coilovers that you want to buy you still need to supply the struts unless you want to keep you stock struts, not a good idea if you ask me. I say buy them, if they suck let us know so no one else makes the same mistake

 

What are you talking about? Springs do not determine if a car bounces, shocks do. If the springs are strong enough to hold up the car, they will work. My guess is that they won't last very long and they'll sag in the relatively near future. Then you can use the adjustment to lift the car up again. But your suspension travel will be gone.

 

ummm guess you've never been in a honda with a setup like that on it. rides like crap handles like crap very harsh and bouncy........

 

Yes but vosko, they probably used cheap strusts also. Im looking to mate these coilovers to some KYB adjustables... perhaps??
the bounce is definitely a job of the struts, not the springs, however, i know what you're talking about when you say "don't skimp out on this part". The springs will obviously sag in the near future, but hey, that's why they're adjustable

 

I have a coilover question, was gonna post a new thread but I guess Ill just put it here. Are Ground Controls actually any good?? I mean, I can afford the $350 or so for them, but it seems that theyre soo cheap compared to most other coilever setups, which cost near $1000 or more. I dont really race my car, although I do plan to do a few autoX's just for fun, but I do want my car to handle well, and maybe lower it 1.5" or so. I know Ill need a camber adjust kit too, but are the coilovers themselves actually any good, or just cheap things that suck. Thanks.
