eBay Coilovers?

[Torqstr]

Anyone had any luck with the generic ebay coilovers? I'm thinking about getting some since they're so cheap and I'm only wanting a 1" drop.

I'll answer your question for ya bc you're probably like me and don't have all day to sit on here and search through the 10 million threads to find your answer, like some people do. Anyways, don't buy them, they're junk. A friend of mine bought a pair for $30 for his integra and they ended up breaking on him in less than three months. The collars on them are shit. Spend the extra $75 and buy a set of brand name springs like skunk2 or neuspeed. They make lowering spring kits that only give you a minimal drop if that's what you want. If you keep your eye out, you could even find a set of used ones for like $50. Thats what I did.

save up and get yourself some named brand lowering springs. i have h&r on mine and it dropped it about 1.5. All i need are shocks now

[sackingz123]

yeah..save up money..

i acutally dropped my car yesturday..am on tein springs s-tech..2 inch front and 1.8 back..it looks sexy..

remember, you get what you paid for..

[defjamon22z]

it dont make any difference compare to the cheap0 coilover than those namebrand. what u should really get is shocks. make sure they good and can keep ur car steady. but as for springs i never boought one but a my ex biatch did... she wanted to lift it and i was her man for like a week want me to do some hell work for her car. i wasnt doing anything that day but when i lift her car up there wasnt any coilover but springs. they cant be adjusted it barely bounce but stays one size. if u wanna lower it or raise it.. u basically fucked.

Do you bother reading the rules of this forum?





Your suspension is important not only for looks and performance, but for your safety. At best, cheap coilovers will leave you with poor traction and lots of wheel hop, because they don't properly plant the wheels on the ground. At worst, they will break, causing you to lose control.

If you can't afford to do it right, you can't afford to do it at all. Don't risk it. Spend the $100-$200 on some good springs, or save up for a REAL set of coilovers... Tein Basics are decent street coilovers, and they sell new for $750. You may be able to pick some up used for considerably less (remember, you can use a set from any Accord from 1990 to 1997).
