Default Give me the facts on these ebay coil-overs

These things are cheap, but I want to know how much they lower the car, and if they improve handling at all. Has anyone here bought them, can you tell me your expirience? How much will my suspension travel decrease? I dont want to be bottoming out my shocks

in most of the case the spring part of coil over will no longer than half of your stock's spring, it will bounce like ****.
not to mention they have no spring rate.
they wear out the shocks much faster.
and a little secret...civic ..teg and some other mid size coil-overs
are the same. Universal fit huh?

Actually, for integra and civic parts, they are commonly interchangable...same part #'s....same essential chassis

I bought them for my car and the handling sucked, because the spring rates are way to low, other than that it is a quality syatem, I found no real problems and I track my car with the mosyt pressure you can put on a suspension setup. I currently have changed but have integrated parts off of that setup to get my current system where I want. I do belive it is a universal setup though because the kit doesn't compare in size to my GC/Koni kit. I would suggest investing in shocks though like everyone else has suggested or you will get tired of the bounce.
