A buddy helped me with the install. The disclaimer i believe is just to protect the company.......... just in case i die or something from the suspension, hahaha, i really have no clue.

everything bolts up perfect, if you ever had to do suspension work and you know what you are doing, installation should be easy, but time consuming. Alignment is a must after installation because the wheels toe out like crazy

Hmm...
The parts themselves look cheap and prone to rust.

lol......with those spring rates and that much drop, you have to bottom out like a ****....Those spring rates are way to close to stock for much of a drop.....look like a great big fail to me.

Re: Budget full coilover, raceland (ep3 application)
ride feels fine and yes you use the oem top mount
I have a 2002 also and they fit
No rust yet
I was bottoming out because lack of suspension travel from being too low. I got new fatter tires and raised the car up a bit and it feels okay. Fail to you, fine for me

I have these also on my ep3, the ride pretty good as long as you don't go to low. I'm down about 1.5" and they ride pretty nice.

Re: Budget full coilover, raceland (ep3 application)
the only thing I can say is that the spring rates are a little to low for me... and at some point there has to be a catch? Anyways you pay for what you get so lets see how long they go for...

Re: Budget full coilover, raceland (ep3 application)
hopefully there is no catch and in this case, hopefully i get more for what i paid for. I understand where everyone is coming from and viewpoints are gladly taken, but for the price and functionality of the suspension, it cant be beat.

Don't get me wrong, dropping our cars the "right way" is kinda like two men having sex togather in the least gay way....no matter what you do, you are doing it wrong.....
