I'm kind of in your area, if you head to any meets I'd like to get a ride </TD></TR></TABLE>

Not a problem. I'll have to see if there is any coming up.

 

I've had Dropzone shocks and Coilovers on my Sol for over a year. I have put about 30k miles since the install. No problems at all. Springs need to be stiffer though.

That was my same problem with them. I thought of upgrading the springs when I had them, but then I just upgraded to Ksports.

 

lol....cool thread...here are mines...some no-namers...

 

Im suprised lots of people have no name/ebay coilovers and are still rocking them haha

AMAZING accord! My friend has a tan 2dr of the same body style, but I've always liked the 4drs more.

 

This is the only pic I could find. My '91 hatch in '02 on HP Racing sleeves. I managed to bend the shafts on the stock shocks and they were no where near low enough for me.

That ***** crazy. You had some FAT tires on there too.

 

Fat by my standards; 195/50-15

 

My Miata on shitty *** eBay sleeves with stock shocks...

...absolutely TERRIBLE ride, but it's worth it

For a daily driven car that isn't modified for performance, just look; the gr2's and race springs ride almost stock. Very little shock over huge bumps. It still has some body roll and is obviously not a Auto-X car. For a track car, I would have chose something different. The car rides like it isn't modified, and thats what the goal of the spring/strut setup was.

</TD></TR></TABLE>

My buddy's car was a D15 Civic DX, not exactly modified for performance either. The race spring's rates were way, WAY too high for the Tokico shocks to handle, and therefore rode like butt-hole.

 

Rocked these in high school.

Had them for about a month and startied to hear loud cracking noises.

 

That sucks. I was always afraid of a brand name that sounds like "bomb." Seems like it's destined to fail.

 

which of the no-name brands have you guys found to be decently reliable

 

Heres my accord on ebay coilovers on the lowest settings. The oil pan was basically touching the floor, i'd rub coming out of my garage! haha, sent sparks flying everywhere! it rode like crap too then i upgraded to B+G springs and sold the car a week later...i miss this car sooooo bad but it was an auto and a pain in the *** to mess with. All in all sleeve over coilovers in general just suck. i had my DA on skunk2's and a friends car was on ground controls and they both just really sucked...

Personally, Dropzone and Maxspeed.

with the right dampers and spring rates, Ground Controls most definitely do NOT suck.

It's mostly about the strut though. Many people who autoX their Honda swear by GCs.

Pretty much any sleeve or lowering spring will suck w/oem grade struts. It's pretty much a given.

 

yeah cheap coilovers might be okay with good shocks like Konis, but you still run the risk of the parts like the sleeves physically deforming or breaking because of the poor manufacturing processes.

How's the ride? I like those adjusters so much more than the type you have to sandwich together...those are so much easier to quickly adjust.

 

AGX's and BOMZ coilovers - looking to upgrade with some GC's

 

Don't look bad, but that'll be a nice upgrade. Watchout though, AGXs don't like to be slammed at all! I blew out one 100% tucking a little tire in my EG.
