I just bought some coilovers...they are not the expensive kind or anything...got them off EBAY for about 160. I was wondering how hard they are to put on...or can it not be done in a driveway???

first off are you using stock struts or have you already upgraded them?

im assuming you just got the coil sleeve. unless you know what your doing its somewhat difficult. putting them on is simple. its getting the strut off. and the backs pretty hard. me and my cousin did it in his garage, took about an hour. but 160 for coil sleeves off ebay seems a little much, considering i got mine off ebay for 50...

i would hope they are ground control or somethin. not an actual no name brand.

you couldnt touch GC for 160 used.

lol how do you like those $50 coilovers wdissident?? i thought about trying them just to see how bad they were. i like low...but also i like having money.

wdissident

i love em. rockn em for 3 years. rides like a cadi but i cant afford anything else. and no spring compresser to go back on

wdissident

n ihavnt blown my stock struts yet

so are they like really bouncy and **** or like a rock stiff? lol on a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your ride?? haha

wdissident

bouncy. idk how id rate em. i liek em better then lowering springs for the simple fact that there adjustable, and it stops alot better. if you've got money...which i dont then buy GROUND CONTROL or TEIN. IMO i could care less what coilseeves i have

hannslebo

yea its just the sleeve...can i use stock struts??

wdissident

yes you can. your ride will be bouncy. people on here will talk **** just because but dont worry... coming from someone whos used them for a few years and hasn't had any problems.. unless your going to slam it to the ground then thats another story

hannslebo

yea i could care less what they say...everyone cant spent 700 on the good ****. and i dont plan on racing, being rough, and going around corners at 100 mph.

but thx for the replys!!!

ehh your right, forgot they went way up. now for the price you could pay for gc/koni setup you could just buy some real coilovers. complete rip off.

i had a set of ebay coilovers on stock stuts also on my old coupe for over a year and never had a problem with them either. they were a bit bouncy from being stiff but it never really bothered me. i didnt have my car slammed but it was pretty low.

dont put them on. trust me. just save up and buy gc coils.
