Default Are theese decent coilovers?


The RS coilover system is a 36 way dampner and rebound adjustable monotube full coilover system. The setup has seperate height and preload adjustments allowing for optimal adjustment and allowing full strut travel at all times along with pillowball upper mounts or top mounts*. Mounts are constructed of 6061 powder coated aluminum. Threads are teflon coated to prevent rust. Rebuildable and serviceable in the US.

camber adjustments for a car with macpherson type suspension. Think the new civic/rsx, and pieces of domestic **** that your dad drove in the 80s.

Almost every single new car has those damn McPherson struts up front. Damn car companies are cheaping out....

But yeah, they are camber & caster adjusters for cars without upper control arms...

i still stand behind my omni's. they are stiff and a bit bumpy for daily driving, but they make you smile after you get in the canyon or jump a railroad track.

.

I personally think anything above 4-6 level adjustability street driven is absurd . I still am yet to understand why people buy inifitely adjustable coilovers when all they are going to do it set it and forget it.

As for the topic, I have personally heard nothing but good things about 'em. But, I personally havent tried a set (and probably wont). But, for the price, it shouldnt be too bad of an investment

its not a matter of how many adjustments you have. its a matter of if you can obtain the adjustment you need. if a coilover is built and tuned well, you don't even need adjustment. realistically, how many times will you adjust your suspension after you find the sweet spot? with my tein flex, i adjusted it until i liked it and never touched them again.

Nah, you guys are just behind the times.

Merely having a shock absorber... absorb shocks, is so 2004. 36 way adjustable shocks include such adjustable features as time travel (think worm hole), flavor of oil (have you tried strawberry or JDM?), color changing shock bodies using state of the art fiber optic technology (why settle for just one color when you can have 5?) and the ever popular flashing LEDs (kind of like adjustable Christmas tree lights) that change the flashing frequency and color using a radio controlled adjuster that you can mount in your dash next to all the other silly electronic boxes. Oh, and the box lights up too for no extra charge.

As for the shocks themselves and how they perform at absorbing bumps?

Did I mention the shock bodies change color and you can adjust camber? Oh, and our company is based out of Asia, so that automatically makes our kits much cooler than your friend’s shocks that were made in the US or in Europe.
