These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

I actually got those spring tech coils. My friend knows the guy selling them so I got them for $100. I did some research and found some good reviews on the shocks but not the whole suspension setup. People are even comparing them to Koni shocks. I'm getting the stuff on Monday, so ill post up my experience with them by the weekend.

This is what it is. All these cats here are just trying to keep people safe and spread good word, especially when it comes to something like suspension (you're life is literally riding on that shit). But to be completely honest with you, you'll probably be just fine going with any of those two choices you have there (Springtech or Truhart, whatever). I've yet to see or hear any word of anybody being killed or much less injured due to the springs/shocks they were running. If anything happened most likely it was because of how they were driving on the suspension and not the suspension itself.
A lot of dudes talk out the side of their neck when it comes to shit like this. One person says some shit and all of a sudden everybody says the shit. Its kind of like the old ass argument of chopping springs. 99% of these dudes never chopped springs or even rode on chopped springs yet when somebody brings the shit up, everybody says you'll die if you do it... N***a please, I've yet to see anything even remotely pointing to anybody dying because their springs were chopped.
My point being, companies aren't in the business of getting sued so if you decide to go a little less expensive then I'm quite sure you'll be fine.

Some of the people in this thread have been on the scene for over 10 years. We know quality when we see it, we know crap when we see it. $300 coilovers are crap. Heres a short list of suspension parts worth looking at
Shocks:
Koni Yellows
Bilstein HD
Tokico Illumina
Springs:
Tein
Tanabe
Neuspeed
H&R
B&G
Eibach
Progress
For coilovers theres only 2 setups for our cars that I feel are worth installing... Ground Control + Koni Yellows and Tokico RAKs. EVERYTHING else is a crap shoot or just crap, even the Skunk2 lowering springs I've had and liked, and the Nex coilovers I've had and like. If you can't afford to do it right the first time (the minimum price of entry is gonna be at least $600 + whatever maintenance you need to do), just stay stock. Cheap suspension components are a waste of time

And the possibility of a person crashing and causing serious injury to themselves or others is enough for me to not want such ideas to perpetuate on my website.
Furthermore, use that language again on this site, and you won't be returning.

And nobody was perpetuating any ill ideas. Just telling it like it is.

I found Truhart located here in NC.

Does anyone here know somebody who has crashed because they put $50 springs on their car? Not saying I endorse the use of cheap suspension parts, just seems like a bit of exaggeration to say you will crash if you use cheap springs.
I paid $60 for 4 shocks for my truck, and I haven't wrecked it, even when towing 6k+ lbs.

I don't believe any of us here are suggesting buy $50 sleeves or chop your springs... There are WAY too many viable options out there to even consider doing that anymore. Maybe back in the mid to late 90's when you didn't have any other choice but not now in 2013.
And thats really what I was trying to get at. Exaggeration of something that nobody here or anywhere else has any clear proof of anything happening. Instead of sitting here theorizing, go holla at a couple of cats that actually been through it and see what they say about it. People say smoking increases your chances of getting cancer. There is endless amounts of data to support that. Cats here chime in and say you're putting everybody's lives at risk because you have inexpensive springs and/or shocks... Don't act like Ricky Bobby in your 21 year old family sedan and the chances of that decrease DRAMATICALLY regardless of what suspension you are running.
Again I am mostly referring to the OP and the two choices of suspension he was interested in purchasing. Then everybody starts ripping him for even considering buying the shit... I don't understand that.

As i said previously i've heard decent talk of truhart components. And i agree that unless you're pushing your limits aswell as the car i don't see it killing you any different than other aftermarket suspensions and brake mods. I've had a tire come off at 60mph in a tbird tank of a car and my rear end snap in a curve in a fox which then the axle passed me up with the tire/wheel still attached i safely pulled to the side of the road in both occasions. You should know your limits aswell as the cars.
I do see why deev pushes what he does aswell.
