I really didn't want to start a whole new thread, but didn't find anything that would go in....SO, this guy is wanting to sell me coilovers for $50, $65 installed for me...I odn't know what brand they are, I do know they have a maximum drop of 3 inches ?(more than I want, but that's the glory of coilovers) and he used them in his CRX for 6 months before, so they are used....what do u guys think...good idea or bad idea?

 

It would help if we knew what brand of coilovers you plan on purchasing. The best advice I could give is don't just go installing parts on your car because you feel like your getting a deal here. There's one thing I've learned in my tuning experience and that's, "you get what you pay for".

We could be talking about $50 ebay special coilovers here. Chances are that these coilovers have horrible ride quality, that's why the seller wants to get rid of them.

 

i know the seller, we're more of racing friends than actual friends though. I also found out that they are Weapon R brand??? i dunno,

 

Weapon R is a high name brand, but I dont know much on there coilovers.

 

$50 for Weapon R coilovers that have 6 months of use, not bad go for it. I had those coilovers before on a Accord that I sold. You should get yourself some nice shocks before the install, just my opinion.

I remember the Weapon Rs being quite bouncy. You would be better off with ground control coilovers though.

 

thanks for the imput, very much appreciated...about how muich are decent shocks gonna cost?

 

KYB AGX's are around 375 - 420
