Ebay Coils

[91ExSedan]

Are they really THAT bad?
What If I don't drop them all the way?

[C91BLX7]

Crap. Don't do it.

They don't sit right, the springs sag, the threads can strip.

[91ExSedan]

I knew they weren't good, I just wanted to see.
Seeing as, they are only $30.

would you trust your car/life on a set of $30 coilovers, when a true set costs 20X that amount?

when i installed my f&f type ones I measured my car one last time (it was on ebay coil overs for almost 3 years) and the car was completely off, the left was lower than the right on the front and vise versa on the rear... When I installed them there were measured perfect and I even aligned the car my self ...

like stated above they sag unevenly, they are unsafe, and my car felt unsafe when I drove it toward the end. It wobbled and bounced allot. When I installed the F&F type 1 the car felt 8000% better, safer and just plain better. Save up buy real coil overs that have quality control in there manufacturing process and you have some one accountable if the part fails.

I had them on my wagon once. It mad it get LOW like the good looking kind of low but they rode like shit and like everybody else said they were uneven. I never had problems with threads stripping...just uneven height.

everyone said it ride sux, then one would lower its self. only thing i thought was good was the handling.

[JunyAccord]

Technically its not ebay that sells them. The ride does feel pretty bouncy once installed.

not to hate, but that 18yr old car had some r and d behind it.

the ebay coils have been made to fit, thats it. universal spring rates, and bad metal are the reason they dont make it worth the time.

if you must get them, get shocks as well...or you will bounce like crazy!

im not saying do or dont, but if you do...do it right (or as right as that can be) lol.

to tell you the truth, it all depends on who you buy from and how they cost. sideswipe got some coilovers off of ebay(not the usual blue coils with silver sleeves. his were red with black sleeves) and once he got some KYBs on his, he told me they rode fine. no bounce. but like slammed4thgen said, im saying get them, im not saying dont. but always keep in mind:


would you trust your life and car to a cheap suspension?

[93F22A6]

Yeah sideswipes do ride pretty well, to me it wasn't much differnet then my car and I have Sportlines on mine.

[Flatline]

I am getting my suspension soon. already paid for it. $175 for lightly used GR2's and brand new arospeed springs.

All you have to do is take your time and you'll find a deal. If you want the best, your going to pay for it though.

[9threeEX]

Tried them before I learned about suspension and better parts became readily available -- total crap. save your cash until you can afford to get something decent.

also since all the springs are the same length on the ebay coils your rear will still be tuckin when there set up all the way up. the front end will jar you up and down and the springs dont sit right so they make noise and wobble.
