hey bro if i were u i would go with the skunk2 shocks nd some skunk 2 springs works great on my ej1

 

naw..id rather just get some tiens if thats the case..or function form type 2...please..i would just like some input on these springs if any..i know theres better suspension out there...so dont recommend me any other..thanks for the input though...hehe

 

dont do ebay suspension get ground control i have it and love it with some koni yellows

 

have u ever tried these b4 or know anybody who has?? any reason why u suggest not using them??i have tokico illuminas w/ground control on my built crx and know there good but i want some reasonable explanation/input on wat makes these suspension so bad...

 

To the OP, I wouldn't reccomend going cheap on suspension parts from personal experience...I went cheap on my old coupe and vowed to NEVER do it again; eBay front camber kit went to **** after a month and eBay coilovers I got were VERY BOUNCY and uncomfortable compared to brand name lowering springs that I got afterwards for the SAME PRICE. Don't get discourged man, keep your eyes peeled for a deal on the marketplace and check craigslist RELIGIOUSLY! also, the word "used" does NOT mean it's
junk; Sometimes you get lucky and run into someone needing a lil extra cash

Goodluck with your hunt!

 

fosho..lol..and yes..i do check daily..(maybe even hourly)..lol..but yea..i get where u comin from..its just that i was hopin the spring rate would back it up a lil...didnt think about the ride quality either til u mentioned that..thanks 4 the input...now i dont feel like gettin them...any actual input on these particular coilovers floatin around though???im sure somebody else would like to know...

 

there's a few threads on here of people that use emusa suspension parts. i'm all for using cheaper parts, but i'm still on the fence when it comes to emusa suspension. i haven't heard enough feedback from people to make a decision one way or another.

 

Don't go ebay lol.. You'll regret it dearly, especially if buying suspension parts.

 

I sell you sum suspension

 

i'm not bustin your nuts, but do you have proof to back this up? now, i know people bash ebay turbo's, but on www.d-series.org there are plenty of people using them to make good hp numbers. the sell of the emusa coilovers seem to have good feedback.

 

i'm not talking about ebay $15 coilovers, lol. i know those are junk, i'm asking more about the full coilover setup linked above.

 

Those ones are gonna rediculous stiff.... 559lb fronts.

 

thats wat im sayin..it sucks that peeps have bad experiences wit ebay products but u just cant go around sayin its bad if you've never even tried it...just cuz one ebay product was bad doesnt mean they r all bad..i wanna know more about this particular coilover setup and how it performs...who knows..i might just buy em and let u guys in on how it does..

 

If there's one thing I've learned over the years, especially concerning suspension components, is to save your money and stick to the proven setups out there. If you try to go cheap, you will eventually regret it and will end up buying the better components anyway, costing you even more money. But if you want to try these, by all means, go for it. Be sure to post your likes/dislikes once they are installed.

If I were you, I'd save up and just get Koni. A few years ago when I got my GC's I skimped and went with the AGX dampers. I know they are ok for the money, but I have never been happy with them. So now I'm saving up to buy Koni's, which is what I should have done to begin with. Good luck with your setup!
