Has anyone bought or used any of them cheap ebay coilovers? I'm not talking about the sleeves either.. I'm talking about the full coilovers that range from $200-$300 bucks for civic and integras.. let me know.. thanks

 

eBay doesn't manufacture coilovers.

Which cheap ones?

Some are worse than others.

if your expectations are low...go for it.

 

yes I understand that ebay doesn't manufacture anything.. it's just that some of these dont have brand names.. but jus wondering if anyones experiences.. thanks

 

I bought a set. The brand is maxspeedingrods. Their actual website is maxspeedingrods.com I like them. They will get you super low, if that's what you wish; or they can keep you around stock height. Easy to install, there was only one small issue that was EASILY overcome. There was a tab on the stock rear shock I needed to remove to use with the replacements. Essentially, it's being used as a nut for the bolt. lol! Hey, I am cheap and didn't feel like riding 15 miles to the parts store for 1 friggin nut. It has worked perfect for the last 8 months! They ride very well for coilovers, not as harsh as some I have ridden on. A great starter set for a very reasonable price. I would advise to keep the sleeve sprayed down occasionally with some wd40, at least once a week or so, to keep them from rusting up too terribly. That's the only issue i've come across under use. I am still able to adjust as needed, when needed; just keep em coated. Everyone who has ridden in my car has asked what coilovers I am using as they are surprisingly comfortable (for what they are). For 240 some-odd bucks, I am happy!

 

nice! Thanks for the input!

 

I've had Ebay coilovers on my Prelude when I bought it and the ride was terrible honestly. Suspension should never be something you take the cheap route on. Spend a good amount the first time and have peace of mind while driving for long time. Have D2 coilovers on it now and its amazing.

 

If you don't care about performance or ride quality go for them. Depends on what you are looking for. Maybe able to find a decent used set as another option.

 

Why waste $300 on garbage when for $600 you could have something decent like Progress CS2's? If you can't afford that difference then you shouldn't be modifying your car honestly.

 

yea ur right.. that's why if I ever do get coilovers I probably wont go cheap... jus looking to see if there's any experiences out there.. thanks!

 

I went with the brand I did simply because i'm cheap lol. I like to try out stuff, what can I say? Do I like what I got, sure. Are they what I REALLY want? No. But they serve a purpose and aren't as bad as **some** people let on. I would be totally honest though if I got a cheap item and didn't like it for whatever reason other than it not being a big name item. The way I see it... If it does as well as it is with cheap ****, I can only imagine what it'll be like when I get the good ****

 

How do they ride still? Might have to look into these. Bouncy? And please post a picture of how low you can go on them. Thanks

 

And they get lower than this. I had to raise them because the streets around me suck.. Shitty ruts and potholes.

 

They aren't as bouncy as most (cheap) coilovers. I've ridden on some pretty bouncy mid-shelf coils. Had a set of K-sports some time back that were pretty freakin' bouncy. The ride now? Still good. Had them for around the year mark now and they still ride like new. That impresses me, especially since roads where I live are totally screwed.

 

I saw the ones with adjustable damper for 500. Should I consider those or these 200 ones lol

 

To be honest, I've actually been considering the adjustable damper versions myself. I have just the basic set.

 

I wanted to update this thread as I have switched to the damping coilovers from Maxpeedingrods and linked below is my feedback published on their blog.

How To Rebuild The Adjustable Coilovers On A Honda Civic?suggest repost? | MaXpeedingRods Blog - Focus On Performance

 

I don't see what rebuilding has to do with adjusting coilovers. But nice write up anyway.

 

The editor meant as in rebuilding the car and using adjustable coilovers.

 

just buy my f&f type 2’s for $320 shipped.
then you don’t have to worry about all this.

 

Hopefully he found them by now...

 

haha i didn’t even check the op date, whoops lol.
