Default Cheap Coilovers

I found some R1 coilovers for $150, how bad are they and why are they so cheap?

They are so cheap because they are junk. If you are looking for a true coilover you should check into Tein, JIC, ZEAL, APEX, ect..

If you want a sleeve kit stick with Ground Control or Skunk 2, they use rated springs per each application.

im riding on Skunks with Tokicos right now, sick of the harsh ride, who cares about handling i want comfort, thinking of getting a real coilover setup but will definetly never get the R1 crapola.

actually, i would go with ground control either way. at least with gc, you can specify spring rates for you application. you don't really have a choice with skunks.

if you go just with the coilover sleeve go groundcontrol. And never try to take the cheap way out on suspenion or tires because thats whats keeping you on the road during your attempts to act like the fast and the furious

Ground Controls along with tokico, not a bad ride. Ground control and no less!!! That's the cheap way out. But I don't mind
