Buy once, buy rightm buy cheap. More adjustablity is more headaches KISR

Well ---- it. If i get them and they suck, i'll post it and a picture of my face so JD can photoshop a dick in my mouth and hopefully it'll make front page.

That's the deal. I dont care.

My shock/spring combo on my dsm felt solid. Non adjust GR-2 style dampers with Progress springs....

I'm just doing a little auto x (maybe not on a welded diff but when i get around to rebuilding my lsd), daily driving and parking lot/local event swangin'.

I probably dont need custom valving. Just a rebuild if i have a blown shock or two. No big. Like i said, i'm going to check em out before i hand over the cash and let him ride off into the sunset. He's bringing them to me personally some time this week. He's local (well, if you count being an hour away local) and seems legit.

We have arguments about jap coilovers and good dampers like ohlins/bilstein/koni on the rx7 forum all the time. Alot of guys have these coilovers and love them. I haven't heard anything bad about them. Just people bitching that they dont go as low as they'd like.

Could be worse. Could be ksport or godspeed coilovers or no name coilover sleeves on stock blown dampers. I'm a cheap ****** but i'm not going to let myself get hosed. If i'm weary about them after holding them in my hands and inspecting them, i'll give him $50 for his troubles and send him packing with his coilovers.

point is hes set on buying the jdm hottness no matter wat the ogs tell him even with evidence that they blow goats , bandwagon??

salesmonkey

he wants them so he can show off to his friends and go adjust ***** before the street races, and then adjust them again for the ride home.

Exactly. I street race....... For monies.

"lets say we kick it a nickle?"


Ever sit at the computer desk and realize you should have showered first because your shoes stink so ------- much? Rode my bike all ------- day, skated for a bit, jumped around like an idiot, sat on my *** and played call of duty 4 on 360, then played skate........got rained on when we unloaded my bike out of my buddies car.... My feet ------- stink. I'll shower in the morning. I wont be able to smell them in my sleep.

Your logic is flawed. The average person is a retard who ranks parts by whether or not they are shiny, and couldn't quantify what good dampening is or isn't.

I posted a link to a guy that knows as much about suspension as I do about electronics and tuning. If you can't read and understand what he said about winning his SCCA class at the national level *despite* his suspension, and the significant gains he obtained off of correct dampening on an already cracked out handling combo, then I can't help you. No one can.

If you get these JIC pieces of ----, I don't want a picture of your face to shoop or anything like that. I just want you to make a different thread about them so this one stops popping in my watched topics list, and I can spend my time on someone who appreciates really ------- good info.

AgentMurdoc

here's the bottom line... this dude wants to be jdm tyte... so he's gonna buy them regardless...

b18.

Haha punk bitch.

Drop a load for Penskes or get something with no ***** on it, pussies.

monster D

its now deal or no deal...

Guy just left.

I have my coilovers now

I love getting parts in person. Lets you know a good bit of whether or not the seller was full of ----. I didn't even open up my wallet until we talked for about 30 minutes. Guy is legit. I've yet to personally meet a true rx7 owner i didn't like/trust. Wish i could say the same about the dsm/honda crowd.

They look nice, aren't leaky, springs dont have a spot of rust on them, shafts aren't bent (i dont see how they would be, they're thick as ----), front mounts aren't bent, cracked or rusted. They're in fair condition. I've bought worse. GR-2's and Progress lowering springs for $200ish shipped. Rode like crap. I blame it on bump steer and the lack of power steering though....
