singlecamslam · 07-28-2008, 11:28 AM

i'm just gonna go ahead and tell you that they are worse than megan, A friend of mine got them from Ebay and one of the dampers only went up to 7 when its suppose to go to 16, the other coil damper didnt even spin at all, and one just spun all the time and never stopped. So dont get them.

Project "Rojo" s13 · 07-28-2008, 12:11 PM

thank fou your help and before a get any more rep points taken away, i know every thing about what i want except for suspension, i know most people would say search but what are the benifits of a basic stiff shock and spring setup or a coilover setup i am a complete newb (if you cant tell all ready lol) when it comes to springs an stuff like that, i know if i save i could get a legit 1000-1750 setup but [email protected]#$ happens and gas prices cost as much as a freaken subway combo so i just wanted thank you for responding.
and this is the last godspeed question you'll hear from me not sure bout any one else

Sileighty_85 · 07-28-2008, 12:21 PM

Spring and struts = Strictly DD, ride comfort, not really worried about height and handleing

Coil Overs = Track car, weekend warrior, wants slammage and control of vehical handling and height with flush wheel fitment.

if you want a good set of Coil overs get Stance

i agree get Stance coils if you don't want to spend the extra money then just sell the car because you're gonna be spending a lot more then that on suspension pieces then just coils itself. once you get coils that's not the end of it buddy.

VIPDRFT · 07-28-2008, 01:02 PM

Stance, PBM, and KTS seem like the best bang for your buck in the ~$1000 range. Remember they sell cheap parts on ebay for a reason.

Project "Rojo" s13 · 07-28-2008, 02:52 PM

i know i ve been looking at stance and max coilovers for a while and i ve heard that stance has the bomb rep im a still be looking around for some coilover and staying away from those mattel recycled hot wheel coilovers thanks for the advice all those who replyed

DriftMUH · 07-28-2008, 03:16 PM

just get the coilovers from MAX, the are just a lil more than the megan track and street coilovers

*Wake* · 07-28-2008, 03:27 PM

im just wondering why i always see people shooting for "cheap" coils like stance or megan or MAX for around $1K not that anything is bad about any of them but you can get a set of apex'i N1 EXv's for like $1100 all over the net. i dunno, but if your worried about knockoffs why not get a well known reputable brand for a tiny bit more? thats just IMHO

ocn · 07-28-2008, 04:02 PM

wow.. there is ..let me see, 100 godseed coilover topics just search for em and second why would you want them anywayz? i would strongly recommend yousave an extra 500 and buy some better coil overs. im running PBM coilvers and are very pleased with there performance. you should go for Poweredbymax , Stance , or megans which are ok . . .

kay_arsen · 07-29-2008, 12:15 PM

megans suck so rough

cws14 · 07-29-2008, 05:00 PM

I would highly recommed the HKS coilovers. I have tried the Tein HA; Tein SS, Tein Flex, and now I have the HKS Hypermax. The HKS coilovers are 10x better than any of my Tein coilovers. The quality is that much better. They do cost a bit more. But you get what you pay for.

dude i would like to get all those brands like any other guy on this forum, but man!!!!!!!!! a brothas got to eat and im eating enough top ramen as it is

lol but ive read up and me and my bro aint gonna go half way so pbms it is

by the power of zilvia

another brotha has been converted from buying bootleg coilover

*Wake* · 08-01-2008, 08:44 PM

I dont know why but for some reason someone thinks that I was implying that apex coilovers are the same quality as the other brands I listed. If you actually read what I said Its pretty obvious I was saying you can get higher quality coils (apex'i) for slightly more. Thats why retards shouldnt be givin the power to rep. can mods reverse rep?

Dirty Habit · 08-01-2008, 09:18 PM

Ive had cusco and stance's. I like my cusco's, but I love my stances. You can get some good prices from guys on here.
Do it right the first time...and youll pay less in the end.

Really? I was told properly pairing springs with struts would be better than most coilover systems.

They were referring to custom spring rate coils (Ground Control) with tokicos or other adjustable struts.

I agree. You really should save up more money, instead of buying cheap ones to just have NOW. I learned my lesson, by buying BC coilovers and they are IMO Junk.

I'd Recommed the Yashio Factory Great Version Coils...

wolfgangstbd · 08-02-2008, 04:09 PM

i heard yashio factory coilovers where just hks coilovers with different colors and valving.. but valving is wat makes good suspension most japanese products do have poor valving unfortunantely but if u wanted to [ay around the price of yashio factory id go for kw... but if u wanna save ursef mnoey and have great performance do the koni/ground control setup nothing but good reviews but does require some diy and u cant dump ur car haha
