Default Best budget EG coilovers?

I know a lot of people here really like Omni or Tein coilovers,but those are expensive as hell so what are some nice lower end coilovers?I see Arospeed,Tenzo R,Dropzone with the lowest prices and Ground Control with the "median" price,so how garbage or ok are these products?

i currently have arospeeds, and they're ok, (not what i really wanted, they were free and it slammed my car) cheaper isn't always better. omni has sleeve coilovers that the price isn't to steep.

go to iapdirect.com - they might have something your looking for.

I highly recommend a search. I would not buy any of the non-name brand stuff on ebay. If you don't recognize the name, and you can't find anything about it on H-T, then skip it.

sam, your best bet is actually getting the omni sleve over set. its under 200 bucks and the springs are amazing. also get a set for an integra or even a prelude. they will fit like a glove and are a little firmer for the turns.

i've tried maxspeed, arospeed, and i can tell you, its not worth your time and effort putting them in and watching them rust.

save up for something with some semblance of quality, and you'll be thankful in the long run

For $50 more, he can get GC units off ebay. Worth every penny.

HAHA.. holy **** youre ******* dumb.

that civic certainly had H&R springs. but they werent from skunk2, or omni. or whatever.

hell, even the SKUNK2 sponsored car Taz Harvey drove didnt have anything skunk2 suspension. it was just the engine sponsor.

you must believe tiger woods drives a buick...

(you must also think OMNIPOWERS are found in the 911 Porsche GT2 too...) dumbass

its funny how people's ***** and mouths grow when its chatting and not face to face.

i never said the h&r springs were from skunk 2 or omni. thats why i said they were h&r. (did you get that?) i found a bridge between the omni springs ( which are anonomous of the maker) and h&r, because of roger foo using the so called omni springs before omni even started. so... i came to the conclusion that h&r might make springs for omni, and omni is using the success of R.Foo to hipe up the consumer.

im probably way off. but its my conclusion. im not an idiot for thinking. and your an ignorant 27 year old "man" who chats all day and probably lives with your mom. im sorry if i offended every one with my sarcasm. i hope to run into better people on honda-tech than you, tyson. i hope im wrong and there are more than just **** talkers on here.

What is the point of this thread. All I know if that GC makes a nice sleeve set. My friend has them on his integra and they give a good ride.
