Cheap ebay coilovers... $45

Shipping of cheap ebay coilovers... $25

Install of cheap ebay coilovers... $150

The look of the drivers face when they hit there first bump in the road... Priceless



Do it right the first time and dont kill your ride bro... from one sol owner to another..

Waste money on coilovers and I guarantee you'll spend a lot on shocks to compensate it.

they are just ricer springs, so therefore they are shitty & bouncy, but on flat surfaces perform well for the $.

They sell those in a el monte location, ( Bomzracing.com). I got those for a civic once for free . They are a okay ride, IMO better ride then most ebay coilovers but its not my first choice for a suspension to live with.

Ok first off scratch off those ebay knock off springs or coils, go with either some ground controls (which i have) or skunk2 coilover sets (I should of got these instead). These coils over sets are good coils, factoring in the sleeves and the quality of the materials. With the ebay stuff they you will get what you pay for. Ground controls or skunk2 coilover kits will cost around 300 or so brand new, you can also get them used and they should be fine. Next thing you should think about is the shocks, it is highly reccomended that you get replacement shocks because the stock shocks were not built to with stand your lowered car. Koni yello adjustables are best (so i hear). Or juss go with a set of KYB shocks or Tokico shocks. Hopefully you learned somin from this haha cuz its not as easy as juss getting coilovers to lower your car, unless you want to bounce like a ball on the freeway.
