powered by max coilover reviews
 

hey guys im gonna get a new set of coils and im was wondering if any body has some info, opinions and experiance with psm coilovers.
i currently have ksports and i think they are junk, and basically i thinking psm, dg's or zeals so let me know guys

I run power by max coils. Even with the 10kg and 8kg springs the ride is alot better then ksports. They are actually valved properly unlike ksports. The nice thing about power by max is you can really get some negative camber in the front for when you run more steering angle. When I swapped from ksports the car felt like it had more rear grip and had more of a balance.

cool that exactly the kind of info i was looking for keep the reviews coming

my pmb's own my hks dude fucking dope as shit

Coo coo did you check the new pics

Powered by max stuff is beyond legit.

I've never owned a set for an FC but I know a bunch of S-Chassis guys that run them and they've never had any issues.

Only thing I've heard is that the caster camber adjuster is kind of funky, but I don't know any more on that subject.

So question how do these compare to other more expensive coil overs such as Stance Pro, HKS, Tien Flex, etc...?

mine own my old hks ones.
my s13 buddys have went from stance to pbm an liked themm better mainly becuz of ride height but stance is good shit.. go pbm or stance

grow some balls mike and get zeals, be a cool kid

How do you figure? I dig my flex. :icon_tup:

Well after seeing these are sold for $1000 + $61 for shipping I figured these are awesome if they are comparable to the higher end coil overs that can cost almost twice as much such as the Tien Flex.

Also, how is the ride quality of PBMs? I ask because I daily drive my car.

id go zeal or dg5 or cusco.

^^^^^^^^^^

truebluegallo has them on his shit, and the camber caster shit is pretty gay but im sure it works or does something otherwise it wouldnt be there... im ill-litterate when it comes to suspension shit. i just like the chassis to be stiff and jump shit.


mike pollard had a parts shop max tension rod and it snapped when he initiated into a wall, and piled his car because of it.
i have heard good things, but seeing mike litterally get fucked up into krails at 90+ head-on made me think twice about skimping on suspension parts. (obviously we dont have tension rods, but you get the idea)

DG5 is the only shit i'd spend alot of money on. nothing beats that.
JIC would be the 2nd. stance steel shit 3rd, but stance is still pretty gangster.

tein shit is garbage.
my friends car drove like straight garbage on them, and he got JIC's same alignment, and everything else and it was bomb. both were new. my shitty ass 10k 8k ebay coils work wonders compared to those things.

i fucking can't stand those garbage ass coils....plus listening to retards trying to pronounce that shit is retarted and makes me not want them just because of that..

Yeah that what I was thinkin but they are on back order currently and I need shit now
I was seein if Pbm coils are good enough to try them I know nothing would be better than dg's but I might jus try them anyways Anything got to be better than my k-shits

They say it "TEE-IN" or "Tye-in" or "tyne"


"TAYNE" Like Gucci Mane.



Daves setup is dope. I agree on that. Everything under the hatch sheet metal is just fantastic. Alot of work in it!

I've had no problems with mine. :/

Why is everyone all about DG5's? Im just wondering.

cuz thats what the baller's run son! lol

Thats what I figured lol.

Looks like I am getting the DG-5s then... thank God for credit cards haha.

Question about Tein Flex. Do you think the 6/5 spring rate is too soft? I'm still thinking about going stiffer...

How are the DG-5s for daily driving?

i loved my cusco zero2 on my old s13.
i loved the zeals superfunction on my friends s14
i have never tried or rode in a car with dg5.

i have stance.:(

my part shop max just came in today.... but no lower brackets for the front coils... is it supposed to come like that?

what do you mean no brackets for front coils? wtf. call the shop tomorrow. ill give dave, dan or martin a call tomorrow to ask em whats up with that

yeah, the front coils don't have the lower bracket that connects to the control arm. here's a photo i just took about 15 mins ago.

Attachment 722182

what the fuck is up with that no front bottom mounts

nightridah the shop opens at 10. ill see if i can hit up dave before hand. the shocks are prepacked some whoever boxed them from the factory fucked up

trip out they are supposed to be like this COMPLETE

i just ordered a set gonna try them out

for sho. i get out of class around that time. i'll hit em up again.

thats what i was expecting to see....

thats fucked cuz i hope mine come complete

yeah they should, im pretty sure after this one they will start to open the box and check b4 they ship them out.

i hope

if I was you I would call/email them. When I ordered mine I figured they had them in stock. They told me it was a months wait. So I told them I wanted my money back. I was gona buy stance coilovers. Then they magicaly found a set.

LOLOL. figures. reverse psychology 101

Just called today - out of stock :(

they probably figured you wouldnt bitch about it, and be cool about it, but then you did, so they probably got a pair sent air mail.

Your right it was too much to ask for trying to have my car ready for the first event of the year. I am such a bitch.

Yea they are back order for another week I have my on lock already but dg's are on back order for a month so I went psm, Dan told me they were only shipping 3 sets or something so I got the last set

Anyone try Silkroad coilovers? I know there stuff is pretty high end, they make mostly AE86 shit.

will be saving to get me a set of PBM. good shit

Who?

You can damn near lay frame with PSM coils



Anyway to contribute to the reviews, junked some JIC FLTA 2's for the PSM and not looking back. Pretty bitchin and brutal ride but if you're complaining about how stiff the ride is then you shouldn't be running coilovers in the first place.

My shits on back ordr for another 3 weeks waiting on the bottom mounts

my lower mounts still havent came yet.... still waiting to put these thangs on.

Yea the bottom mounts won't be leavin the factory till the first, shit is gay
