coilover problem?

[peteypete]

does anybody know that if the rubber coilover spring mount, (the one that you would put on the top of the spring to keep it stable) is any good? i have the aluminim one on all the springs but, one of them is no good and i have to replace it soon.

this is what im talking about, the one thats been circled...

and this is the aluminum ones i have on now...

[slammed4thgen]

well i recomend full coilovers i dont even know why they call those coil overs...check out www.teinusa.com

i wish i could get some real coilovers but unfortunetly, i aint got no money whatsoever for the real deal so i have to make do with what i got. but i really need some help here.

[slammed4thgen]

well the aluminum ones im sure would be much better rubber might be good short term but they will probably dry rot quick since im sure the didnt use good material

[Alude]

use the oringinal spring top piece just get new rubber insert from factory

[slammed4thgen]

or sell them and just get drop springs k sport,tein has cheap ones,eibach sportlines...props on the ride man int. is clean!!!you could even do that and then save for adjustable struts

thanks for all the help gang but it seems that i have no other option but to buy some coilovers from ebay again that has the top part in aluminum to fix that problem. and as if i didnt need any more problems, as im writing this post i just notice that i have got a complete flat on my rear tire as soon as i got home. (wtf) more drama (sigh) wuussaa....wuussaa.... anyway thanks for all the help, i hope nothing else goes wrong today.

Well, if your gonna get some more coilover sleeves off eBay then why not just go head and buy some drop springs? I'm tellin you, if you get those coilovers and max drop them on that Accord then your gonna be hating life please believe me. Especially if you don't get aftermarket struts and shocks. But even then it still rides like shit. Do you want to slam your whip or you just wanna have the option of lowering it when you want? Cuz if you wanna slam it and still have a decent ride then I can suggest some good springs that do that. I got them on my Accord right now. I'll be posting a pic of mines here in a little while for y'all to check out. But your car looks nice now how its lowered so I don't know.

i got ebay coilover sleves on and they are fine for now. but like they say "money talks, walks" so when the money issue is resolved then i can see about updating the suspention on my car. also i dont want to have a slamed car or be at stock height, but at least somewere in the middle of those two types and i have a lot of research to do if i want to get the suspention parts i need and the set up i want it to be at.

Get some springs! Cheap coilovers are crap, as you've noticed. Find a used set of Neuspeed or H&R springs (race is lower than sport). They can probably be found for the same price as those cheapie coilovers, and you won't have any problems!
