if your looking for really good cheap coilovers get weapon r they are on the stiff side but they are better than any other 150 dollar coilover you will find

I've re&re the OE shocks for someone with maxspeed coilovers. I can pour those fluid out when I took them off. That's how nasty it can get if u slam it with those coilover spring set.

well when my friend rode on GCs on stock shocks they were much better and lasted much longer..and when max speed coils were put on tokico blues..they went out in a few months too..well those r cheap too..i guess the lesson is dont go cheap or stock.

i hated them becuase the ride was CRAP , the threaded sleeve was basically destroyed when i took them off(threads stripped, about 2 inches of the 3 or so inches of travel useless), the perches were cracked, ride was CRAP !! did i metion the ride was CRAP !! it looked like my car was dropped by cutting my springs....and they wasted the nice koni's i had..... now im back to stock shocks and progress springs. ride is a bit stiffer than stock much smoother and OH SO NICE. But im switching to GC's at the moment and as soon as my car gets back on the road ill tell you how they are.
