Hi

 

hmm this is tempting..that is very cheap for coilovers but hey if they ride good wuts it matter...how much did u pay 4r install or did u do it urself?..nd excuse my ignorance but wuts up with the disclaimer on the website saying that these coilovers are not to be used for street use?

 

A buddy helped me with the install. The disclaimer i believe is just to protect the company.......... just in case i die or something from the suspension, hahaha, i really have no clue.

 

lol ok..so there worth it huh?..how difficult was the install?

 

everything bolts up perfect, if you ever had to do suspension work and you know what you are doing, installation should be easy, but time consuming. Alignment is a must after installation because the wheels toe out like crazy

 

didnt see any for the ep3

How do these ride?? Did you have to use your OEM top mounts?

 

man this could relly save me some money...i just lookd on the website though nd it says 03-05 ep3's..i got an 02...it shuld still work....right?..i mean i don c y not

 

Hmm...

The parts themselves look cheap and prone to rust.

 

lol......with those spring rates and that much drop, you have to bottom out like a ****....Those spring rates are way to close to stock for much of a drop.....look like a great big fail to me.

 

^ya thats wut my buddy was tellin me..ionno lol

 

I was curious what you would have to say about this. We're on the same page

 

:shrugs:

 

ride feels fine and yes you use the oem top mount

I have a 2002 also and they fit

No rust yet

I was bottoming out because lack of suspension travel from being too low. I got new fatter tires and raised the car up a bit and it feels okay. Fail to you, fine for me

 

I have these also on my ep3, the ride pretty good as long as you don't go to low. I'm down about 1.5" and they ride pretty nice.

 

Thanks for the info on these coilovers

 

the only thing I can say is that the spring rates are a little to low for me... and at some point there has to be a catch? Anyways you pay for what you get so lets see how long they go for...

 

hopefully there is no catch and in this case, hopefully i get more for what i paid for. I understand where everyone is coming from and viewpoints are gladly taken, but for the price and functionality of the suspension, it cant be beat.

 

So you proved my point....If you want to drop an ep3/dc5 2-3 inchs, you are ineffect reducing upwards suspension travel by 50ish%....To make this "work" you need to up the spring rates by 100ish%. So you would need 500-600lb rates in the front and 800lb-900lbs rates in the rear to stay off the bumpstops everywhere.

Don't get me wrong, dropping our cars the "right way" is kinda like two men having sex togather in the least gay way....no matter what you do, you are doing it wrong.....

 

You also live in Cali with no winter/salt.

Uhhh...right

:scurries away:
