Friend of mine had them on his 07 golf gti. The car was stolen and torched, and the coilovers were one of the only thing left standing on the car.

yea... not looking to track my car or do anything crazy. i just want it to handle a little better and give it a lowered stance. these more than fit the bill.

For his dd he said they were comfy and well built. They're only so cheap because they're a new company. Last I checked though the eg/ek coils were out of stock. And they were supposed to call me when they got them in stock.

Links? Spring rates? Where are they made?

I'd like to look into them.

They had them on racelandus.com or something like that back at the beginning of the year. They've since run out and have yet to put them back on the website.

hell, even just plain old lowering springs are $40. some eBay sellers charge just that for shipping fees on their raggedy no-name springs.

for real? I'm afraid to buy the $650 coilover systems.





From searching around, I've found that the rates on the Raceland EP3 set are 310/417. That's barely more than stock. If you run those down more than an inch or two, it's going to be bouncy as hell and bottoming out. Right now, I don't really see any Honda sets on their website, so I can't check for sure.

the bottom line is that my civic will never see track use. nor will it even be remotely powerful at all. i just want something that's adequate for daily use and will give a nice lowered stance.

vw guys rave about these puppies so... can't be half bad. just because they're lower prices doesn't necessarily mean that they suck. fck you namebrand whorebags.

Dont buy them they are POS. Civic guys in the 2001-2005 civic forums hate them. They make noises and have been known to come apart. If you are just looking for slammage, in which they will do then go for it.

vw guys buy the hell out of them because they are so cheap.

mixed reviews. up high, they are acceptable. low, they ride like ****.

friend of mine has them on his car, wound down. ride like ****, and very bouncy all over.

no for me.

IMO, 300 bucks shouldnt even cover material costs for a decent set of coilovers. i could be wrong but i doubt it. theres just no way these are quality systems, no way they ride decent. who cares what homo vw guys are running in their hitler-mobiles. haha jk
but seriously, sounds too good to be true for 300 bones...

Well, it sounds like the company is being really sketchy, which is not a good sign for their products.

Spending less then $600-$700 on coilovers nowadays gets you nothing but junk. The price on GOOD suspension parts is sort of outrageous, but IMO its the best mod anyone can more for their car for the money.
OP what is your budget? maybe we can find you something as good or better with a good reputation.

You've obviously never heard of Progress or Funtion&Form.
