I agree with DragII. Most any spring/damper combo will be fine for the street assuming you don't compress the shock too much such that it has virtually no travel. For best performance however, I'd stick with something more well known. It would be good to know who actually designed and manufacturers Arospeed's dampers. If it's a good company like Koni or even KYB and Tokico, then they may be decent, but that info will prolly be very hard to find (I doubt any of their product guys that answer the phone will know who the designer was). Otherwise, I don't think Arospeed has had enough experience in damper design to properly know how to valve their dampers for optimal handling and ride. Depends on what's more important to you...looks or max performance. For most ppl, they won't ever take their lowered car to any where near its limits.

Research carefully before buying off brand stuff, especially suspension. I bought a set of R1 dual coilover a while back and it was terrible. If branded full coilover is too expensive, then go with what most people use. Like KYB, Tokico and etc. Then buy the coilover like GC, Skunks or something. If the suspension is not good, not only the ride is terrible. Handling is bad too. Good Luck.

umm. what's wrong with your skunk2 coilovers? they are perfectly good. every time some one reports a problem with them it always narrows down to 1. bad install (some just can't read/follow instruction); common mistake = no o ring install, or they forgot the metal rings for the front sleeve, or they put the dust boot back, or they forgot to cut the bump stop 2. if it rides bad the shocks are gone.
i have skunk2 with kyb agx in my delsol with over 30k miles. they are a good cheap effective combo.

for the money.. go with ground control. Their really inexpensive and you can even have custom spring rates for a little more.

how about this way...

LOL......well to be honest if I wanna go for coilovers. I will get something that's from a reliable brand name. Koni/ERS, ZEAL, Ohlins, DMS, Buddy Club, SPOON/Mugen(SHOWA) are some of the best exmaples. Koni/ERS might be the cheapest choice. I will choose SPOON, ZEAL, Buddy Club or Ohlins myself.

Furthermore: Arospeed=Ghetto. Therefore, if Ghetto=Cheap, and Cheap=****, then we must conclude that Arospeed=Cheap ****.

Oh no, they are not defective or broken, and it was a proper install. Nothing on my car is inproperly installed. I just dont like riding on the bump stops all the time. I suppose I could get a shock with a Shortened body and shaft but I dont even know who makes them.

uhh, how low is your car? did you cut the bump stops to half? if you are really riding on bump stops your car must be slammed... and on the front the upper arms will probably hit the frame before the shocks fully bottom out. if you don't like riding on bump stocks. raise it up slightly.
in any case, why are you blaming the coilover itself?

No it is about halfway down onthe perches in the rear and about 2/3 down in front, on the street I hit the bumpstops. I cant cut the bumpstops, atleast not on the Tokico illuminas, I have hit the Upper arms before, but only once

What is the spring rate on your coilovers? It should not be riding like that if you are not slammed. I have GCs on my EG. I have it pretty low and I still don't bottom out.
