my 240 came with the emusa coils already on it. when i got the 240 i had the guy give me the stock shocks and springs as i figured the coils were going to be crap... in reality they ride better than the eibach sport kit i had on my last car that cost 2x the price. i actually tried to break something when i first got the 240. i beat the piss out of it, hit every pothole and dip in the road. i have since stored the stock setup in the way back of my garage. im sure that a more expensive unit would perform better but so far these have held up better than i ever imagined. |

Emusas ride really well but they are the shittiest fucking coilovers I have ever seen. Mine ended up costing me a LOT more than just buying good coilovers at first would have.

They have good reviews emusa isn't just on eBay the reason they are on eBay is because that is there main way of selling them to the public and they have different options but if your looking for coils on a budget I would get those for now how do you think every other coil over brand got started they had to start somewhere

After about 300 miles one of the top hat bolts came so loose that it fell off, and after 400 miles the fucking pillow mount blew to pieces.
I have Stance now. No complaints. |

EMUSA Coilovers Review (Ebay Stuff)
Quote:
Meh... I really think it depends how the preload is set or how it's installed. When I bought my car I had Godspeed Coilovers, well I broke them hitting a curb..... I decided to get emusa since I needed a new set. Got them installed PROFESSIONALLY, which might make a difference idk. I've hit plenty of curbs at faster rates and they still work fine. Ride quality is decent, but I only say this because I've only driven the so called "bad Coilovers" so far and people say these ride like shit compared to the higher level Coilovers. Honestly if your going to get something like Godspeed,race land or Megan, IDE rather get emusa. Just because I've had emusa and Godspeed and I swear they feel the same to me. Almost to a year and I've driven over 5000 miles on them. No complaint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At least get JSK coilovers. They're pretty much the same price as Emusa but they're a complete copy of the more expensive, Apexi coilovers.
They also have damper adjustability compared to Emusa which has none. |

I bought my 93 240sx hatchback with EMUSA coilovers installed. And as for people saying you can't drop them low in the front, WRONG.
The PO (previous owner) had left the bottom collars off (4 in total). I thought that it was one for each corner but when I jacked the car up, i found out the fronts had no collars at all. This car was so damn low it was scraping on regular roads with no irregularities. He had "lowlife" stickers and all kinds of crap. Anyways, I raised all 4 corners and installed the collars up front and they are decent coils. They don't have dampening adjustability but it's not to bouncy. As for Reece's experience, I think I ALMOST had a similar incident. IT was my friends fault tho as he loosened the top 17mm bolt for some reason and I didn't realize until I drove it home and noticed an odd noise. If you are really worried about it just snug it with an impact. In the future I will be doing a s14 subframe with z32 uprights so I'll be looking at nice coilovers (stance or something that supports the Fork-Type shock) next but for now, that'll do little pig....that'll do. |

So my coilovers I'm the front have 3 collars. He only had one on and it was on the bottom of the thread resting on the bracket. I can't upload a photo from my phone or I'd show you.

Bro just like that but pink. This car was scraping on ANYTHING. I had to drive it 30-45 mph anywhere for the first day or two. He had these stupid stickers on it too "lowlife". Man I'm about to sell these and pick up some stance coils soon

Atill93: there are two types of EMusa coilovers. The pink are only height adjustable and the other color is for dampening. Maybe the pink go lower?
Hey I don't want to create a new thread about this question so I'll ask here. Supposedly EMusa coilovers are the are as Godspeed (maybe Megan). Has anyone tried using the z32 rear mount from another company with these coils? I want FA510's but I cannot afford them yet so for the time being I wanted to order some rear mounts (~$140 or so) but which ones? Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk |

Have them on my s13 for 2 years, 20,000 miles . Mostly Freeway
Positive: -Still not blown after 2 years -Feel better than the much stiffer Megan tracks for daily -Good price -Emusa has great customer service. And always willing to help Negative -Play in the Sleeves. Collars have to be super tight to get rid of it -One of the coilovers had a lot of play on the top pillow ball. Just had to take the Body apart sand them down and when bolted it back up. All was great -On the rear coilovers the sleeve/bushing where the lca meet up is a really weak material. If you over tighten the nut the little sleeve will compress .i fixed this by adding a second nut. Over all im happy with them. But would not recommend them to anyone. Just Save up a lil more and get something better . Its hit or miss with these . |
