Tom's Motorsport Coilovers
 

Has anyone ever heard of this brand? I've been advised that is uses the same spring rates as Skunk and has a better purch system than Skunk2. Is this true, can anyone vouch for these coilovers?

Looks like GC style threads and locking collars, which I definitely prefer to dual locking collars like most set-ups feature.

As to the quality of "toms" parts... who knows.

have them on my 99 coupe, but you better get some decent struts to go with them or you'll get beat up and down!

I have them on my car with Tokico blues and the ride is a bit bumpy, not bad tho

Well I am currently running tokico Illumina with Tein s. tech springs. I am looking to upgrade my current springs. These coilovers have a 5 yr warranty so I guess they're pretty good quality? Anyways the only reason I'm considering them is b/c the price comparison to skunk2 is $475 to $150!!!!

...and if they use 2.5" ID springs, you can get whatever rate you want w/ some Eibach ERS springs or the H&R 2.5" variant.

I'm fron Canada if that makes a diff https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Also, I agree that the tein coilover setups are much nicer, but the springs? I'm not too sure about that, they have such a low spring rate.

dont pay that much for toms coilover. i paid 80 shipped to mine with 450f/350r for mine but i switched them for autocross reason. i never had any problem with them so far with my illumina. im looking for stiffer ers right now to use with them.

Ok since my main concern is a spring/shock setup good for auto-x, do you recommend something else other than Tom motorsports, or skunk2 coilovers? Maybe a better set of springs to replace my Tein S.techs?

tein can get you any spring rate you want
plus you can use swift , showa or endless/deal springs..........
