Well I bought an s14 not to long ago. It came with some of the coilovers from a fly by night company known as c8 sport coilovers. Tried to drop the car down on them because I wasn't happy with the stance. Threaded the fronts all the way down to the springs. Sat the car back down and I was only able to fill in the gap slightly. I emailed them because the S14 on there website is tucking very nicely. Never got a response. So obviously they are not running the same coilovers or they have been modified. Either way they are very shady. The coilovers are junk, ride like shit and won't make a car park hard.

By the way I'm trying to tuck a 18" wheel with a decent sized tire. Kts would set my front end on the ground and probably rode better. I can't remember.

The bottoms are fairly centered flipping would give me another 1/4 or so. Brackets are also Aluminum and are split in half to clamp the shock tube. No brake line mounts also.

Yeah I googled them and didn't find any forum talking about them. So I thought I would inform everyone about them. I'll probably put some shorter springs and them and go with them until they leak. But whatever I'm gay anyway.

looks like you can flip the brackets and are you lowering them by the springs are by the bracket?

This thread is completely worthless.

If you want to make a review of a company, then you need to do so in the appropriate section, and try to be a bit more creative than just bashing the company in question. I have no doubt you are upset with the quality, but your current approach resembles a teen girl upset that her lipstick doesn't match her nail polish.

This is now over. :lockd:
