S13 CXRacing coil overs review

So I just got these yesterday and installed them, I had it set to zero preload and drove around, and if any one is familiar with San Jose, you know the roads here are pretty damn shitty, so the 12kg/8kg spring rates are not cutting it, it's so fucking bouncy so I swapped out the rear spring with a 6kg stance spring my boy had and put the 8kg up in front and set the damper to 12 clicks soft. After doing that I noticed that the ride was much smoother, way smooth. Over all quality of the build of these coil overs are pretty good, they're pretty beefy, the brackets are made of steel and welds seem pretty good, they come with brake line holders welded on. Top hats utilize a thicker piece of aluminum compared to godspeed. One thing I did notice about the coil overs when I got them that the dampers we're put on reversed, because I noticed on the bottom of the damper it said R and F so I swapped them to their proper place after my first bumpy ass ride along with the springs, the car rides smooth.

cliff notes : good quality for price, make sure your dampers are in the correct spot such as a rear damper in the rear and not front, swap your springs to 8kg and 6kg for a less bumpy ride.


I drove to the gas station and back, I will keep this thread updated with more insight later on.
