Was looking around at coilovers and came across these. $449 shipped 20way damping. All aluminum bodies. They look good but does anyone know anything about them?

 

don;'t trust this guy, i bought parts from him and he never sent them...its been 6 months atleast...scam!

 

Same ol ****..
re-stamped what-evers..
but if thats your budget, then great deal. It will lower the car.

 

Listen to this guy, and stop trying to cut corners! If you don't have a lot of $$ to spend go with Progress. That will most likely be your best bang for you buck.

 

They are pure crap. I took a set apart that blew on a customer after only 3 months, and didn't even bother rebuilding it cause the parts were machined so badly it was not worth putting back together. They can be rebuildable, BUT the amount of work I would have had to put into making them rebuilidable units as well as fix the problems the dampers had was just not worth it to the customer for the price he had paid for the set. One cylinder was actually out of round, and 2 of the adjusters were already going out on the set I had shipped to me. That was just a few of the problems that I had seen after taking them apart and inspecting them. In the end he had us make a set of dampers for him, and he is just going to sell his old setup after he gets a couple replacement dampers. I've taken apart a lot of dampers, and I've seen some really crappy ****, and this ranks with one of them. Even if he didn't come to us for a set of dampers afterwards he could have atleast saved up 300-400 bucks and get something far better than what he had purchased. Yah great deal if the damper was actually worth that. Don't cheap out guys, even if this is just a daily driver. Get freaking springs and run your stock dampers if you want to be cheap. Getting cheap coilovers will just bite you in the ***, and people NEVER learn even after all the post on here? Do pretty colors really brain wash people or something? If that is the case I better start another company and make some bright glowing colored coilovers and sell them for dirt. Just to add, I have rebuilt other cheaper coilovers, and even though they had issues we were still able to fix them with getting the correct seals, and doing some small machining to make them actually rebuildable. I've worked on D2's, Megans, the list goes on, and have rebuilt them succesfully, but that is only because the dampers were still useable. A lot of the problems I ran into was incorrect seals being used, and poorly machined dividing pistons causing contamination. Internally they are not great, but atleast rebuildable so my customers can get back on the road, and get better valving than what they come with.

 

This sounds like a guy who actually builds his own shocks that he sells.
