eGay coil overs?
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...939327311&rd=1

Saw these on eGay and was wondering if anyone was pimping them. They're hella cheap ($60 shipped) and I think I've heard some people on here say that they used them, they rode like a tank but they worked.

Anyone?

Lol... ;D Reading this post made me smile.

I bought a pair for my sentra and dropped her 4 in. God how i loved that thing. I bought new struts all the way around and then put the coil overs in. She rode stiff for sure. You got used to it and you diffenently watched the rode alot more. But it looked hella good for 60 bucks...I gotta pic around here somewhere. Where can i upload it at.

i'd buy them. most of the time when people are complaining about their cheap coil overs they blame the bad suspension on the coil overs. if the cars' struts are fucked up, $500. coil overs will still make the car ride shity. i'd buy the $60. ones.

Just get some drop springs if your on a budget those cheapy coilovers are a pain

Re:eGay coil overs?
 
the spring travel with coilovers is a lot shorter than regular springs making the ride A LOT stiffer. You're better off taking a hack saw to the stock springs than those.....I had the red ones with the gold loops on a crx and it rode how it should for $70 at my door....

I wouldn't wish that anyone has to ride on cut stock springs! Unfortunatly I do since the previous owner decided to save a few bucks. The ride seriously sucks ass, you feel every single bump.

Just get them and get some good shocks otherwise they'll blow your stockers out fast. Get some AGX's or Koni yellow or Tokico's.

i have a blue set in the CRX, I have yet to drive it or even install the rears so I'll let you know how it goes.

Yo,

I purchased my car with what i believe are the same coil-overs you're looking at and KYB shocks. Honestly, i hate them, the spring rates are just too stiff, it gives me a headache.

Yo,

It matters when the spring rate is so stiff it actually makes the car handle worse.

Re:eGay coil overs?
 
I had Ebay $50 coilover jobs on my car for a while because I couldn't stand the stock fender gap. Blew my struts pretty quick, can you say ghetto hop? The car looked hot, didn't drive very well though. Then I upgraded and put some KYB struts and Eibach lowering springs with a 2 inch drop, looks good and handles great. But nothing beats that super slammed look for sure.

my coilovers blew my stock balljoint and ended my cars life :(

haha, oops ----. My buddy just bought these for his Cavalier.. lets see how it goes :-X :-X :-X :-X

Re:eGay coil overs?
 
Assuming the spring rates are stiffer than the stock ones, you'd need to buy a set of shocks to go with it wouldn't you? That's the more expensive part for sure. General word on the internet says you'll blow the stock shocks quick with just new springs.

davcivic 12-05-2004 08:44 PM

Re:eGay coil overs?
 
i had those on my old civic. They blew the stock shock in weeks. After I upgraded them to KYB AGX the ride was decent, stiff but decent.

I'd go with the "You get what you pay for theory" although I have no experience with them.
