Default Unknown Coilovers?

well not really.....but its a company that i have never heard of anyways.

my car came with (out of the box) Tom Motorsports, coilovers. they are red, with a gold adjustable nuts. (sorry my terminology is bad).

just wondered if i'm in the clear to install these? are they a reputable company and the sort.

You should try and do some searching before posting.
https://www.google.com/search?q=Tom+Motorsports&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a#hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Ntt&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&q=+site:honda-tech.com+Tom+Motorsports+coilovers+civic&sa=X&ei=x EwTT9-LKIzYtwfD4NGLDg&ved=0CCgQrQIwAA&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r _pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=3afd0ac9cf780bb5&biw=1920&bih= 900

These are an old brand of coilover from a company that seems to have gone out of business.

Do you even know what the spring rate is on these?

These look like a Ground Control knockoff.

They look like Branded Ebay. Take a chance on them if you want. If only to say that you tried them out. I couldn't find any real technical info on them at all. Nothing.

Not worth the risk IMO. I'd try to sell them and buy some Ground-Controls...
