yup, what he said ^. also, after a while ur going to want to upgrade for sure to better stuff. so might as well save the money now and save up for the real deal.

 

In the world of suspension components, $50 isn't really that much. If your question is whether or not it's worth $50, I'd probably say, sure it is, even if the quality is bad. Only you can answer for yourself what you really want for your car though. Determine what you want from your suspension and go from there. A friend of mine has Matrix coilover sleeves he bought for pretty cheap. He just wanted them for looks and he doesn't race or anything of the sort. I personally wouldn't buy them but I helped install them quite a while ago and they've been fine ever since. If you do decide to buy them, inspect them carefully to make sure that they don't look like they'll break on you in some way once installed.

 

:werd: $50 isn't much for suspension... i got my tanabe sustec pro SS for $900 and i am loving it... it's all about safety! why u wanna put some crap on ur car that may endanger yourself when that time come for you dodge some stupid driver in front of you that suddenly slams on their brakes??? u want ur suspension to be able to keep all 4 wheels down on the ground for max. traction while being able to perform like they ought to. don't go cheap... go GC or skunk... u can't go wrong.

 

it doesnt even matter what brand of sleeve type coilovers you get they're almost all the same. especially if you're gonna run them on stock shocks. if you want a good coilover system buy a full kit like apexi, koni, tein, cusco(if you can get one) or if you're on a budget, either red or nex kits.

 

I got neuspeed race springs that were only 3 months oldfor 20 bucks of my buddy, now who said you cant get good suspension cheap?

 

well for one... I would never buy used sus components. The fact that you bought them off your buddy helps though.

 

Cheap coilover systems:

1) Ride like crap compared to GC or Skunk2
2) The springs are cheap and sag over time
3) I've heard of then stripping before - then you have to go out and spend money on real ones

Do it right...do it ONCE!

 

I have a set of the original Skunkwork coilovers and I was reluctant to put those on my car. When I received them, I was really worried that the perches would crack on me over time. I've had them on the car for about 2-3 years now w/ no problems, but I always think the worst that something would happen...

Hopefully in the future, I could get a set of Tein SS or Tanabe Sustec Pro's...

 

I have had these Cosmo Racing coilovers on the car for about a year and I love them. The ride quality is great and the only time it seems bouncy is whent he AGX struts are at full firm. It is not bouncy, it is just that the if the road is ruff you feel it. I only paid like 200 for the coilovers and it was a good deal, IMO. Just my 2 thoughts. check out the coilovers at www.cosmoracing.com

 

Well I know that the Coilovers that are blue are the R1 Racing coilovers you can buy from www.speedpeople.com They are okay and ive heard of some people liking them but Id stay away from them.
