You will. So much for saving money. You'll be spending more after this replacing all the garbage on your car because you didn't do it right the first time.

All for trying to look cool.

isnt that what this forum is about to get help about parts.....i know how to take my car apart and put it back together ive done it plenty....i just dont want my shocks to blow while im driving so i asked if i needed new ones....its a 21 yr old car with no maintnance since i dont know when...so go **** someone elses day up.....

Sorry your day is fucked up just because someone told you the truth. Put that JDM bullshit on OEM or OEM replacement shocks and you'll blow them.

So...if you're broke....why not just leave the stock suspension on? Is it in dire need of replacement?

You obviously have money to blow on garbage springs. Patience to just wait and buy something decent is what's lacking.

Some lowering springs work fine with stock shocks. However....there's no way to answer your question, because "it doesn't matter the brand".

So no they wont work. Or...yeah, they'll work. It doesn't matter if it will work. Not everyone is rich enough to answer your question.

This. Either pay more now, or pay a LOT more later when you're replacing multiple failed parts. There's a reason that proper, name brand parts cost more, and it isn't "bling factor". There's also a reason why "Made in China/Taiwan/Korea" has a strong negative connotation in the car world. If the best you can afford are some $50 pieces of garbage, you picked the wrong hobby. Either start saving your pennies to get real ****, start saving your pennies to start replacing **** when your fake **** fails miserably, or forget about modifying cars, and get into RC cars, or computers, or something else that isn't cars.

Coilovers that are JDM are not "legit" nor brand name. They're $50 Ebay specials. Not even Racelands? Function and Form?
And it's funny you can afford all that but then claim you can't afford it. Can't explain that.

You claim you aren't stupid, and yet everything you post disagrees with that statement. There are a lot of resources around here, and you consistently chose to use none of them. To top it off, you're arguing with a few of the better minds here.

Believe us. We've been in this a lot longer than you have. We know more than you do. Listen to what we're saying. If you wonder why we're caustic about it, it's because people like you come through here all the time, argue with us, go against what we recommend, then come back crying later when their plan fails. We're tired of it, and we're done mollycoddling.

Your answer came about 4 hrs ago and you are still blasting. Start looking for parts.

:facepalm:

If you came for advice....and then decide "whatever imma just finna buy some springs whatever it done matter because we all jdm anyway"....then why ask for advice?

You don't HAVE to buy springs today, bro. You don't have to buy them at all. "Not everyone has money to buy springs for $200" is a dumb argument.

Here, I found this video on youtube. It perfectly describes what your suspension will do every time your tires find an imperfection in the road. Hint: Every road has them, and no, you can't avoid them.

Hondaguy1993
