i need some feedback on these coilovers, as far as how the ride feels and whether its worth it for around 450 bucks, or should spend another 400 to get a better set up. ?

If you have stock shocks I wouldnt advise it. They are very stiff. And stiff springs with poor shocks translates into a bouncy ride eventually. however with good shocks they should have a very firm/harsh ride especially over a poor road.

I dont mean to sway you from them but, For the price you can get a better setup by going the route of upgrading shocks along with the springs. That said I havent heard anybody complain about the GrondControl/Koni combo.

 

Are you talking about the full coilover or the slip over coil over? Slip overs = $230ish Full = $550ish

FULL.

 

i had them on my daily driven EJ6 and it was pretty damn stiff but i didnt mind it. i did also have to drive over a nicve mountain to get to school lol

 

skunk2 coils are stiff, most autox guys will go with the before mentioned gc/koni. what are your plans for the car, drag, autox, or looks?

 

I have skunk coils on stock shocks and its not bad but I do plan to buy some koni's, I'v found that the skunk/koni combo works well from past experince.

 

hmmm,i have the coilover sleeves on my em1 with tokico blues,very nice ride,not stiff at all after 100 miles riding,actually got bumpy,i got it lowered to right above the tires,i dunno with the blues if thell blow,very nice ride tho

i'm going drag, and i want a nice drop, but taking least as possible away from the feel of the ride.

 

i have the skunk 2 pro series full coilovers on my 00 em1 and its stiff as a biatch! but i dont mind it either, i dropped my car about 3 inches and you can feel a bigg difference, i tend to get a better launch and way better control/cornering etc. with this setup they tend to ride smoother when its lower, idk thats how it is on my car
