6 month CRX Budget Coilover– How Have They Held Up?
I was given the opportunity to test out a budget coilovers setup from maxpeedingrods and they did a great job of handling the abuse we put them through during our last asr super lap event.

The outside goes to the point, it has now survived the five events at a royal Seco Raceway. We have 5 events, and it’s done well. It has gotten a little bit faster every single time with the additional mods now.
I got the passenger side removed, and with the exception of them just being dirty. I don’t see any issues, everything looks fine. In terms of the fork for the back, both the cups for the front and rear, the little rubber isolator in here obviously is cracky, and I think that’s natural with any rubber isolator.

But other than that, there’s not really anything wrong with them these are still of course 5 k & 8 k spring rates, no signs of any oil leaking from the damper itself, and the adjustment for the damper itself like I went and double-checked all mine, I have no issues with mine, they click and all of all four of them move smoothly, and that has been an issue with a couple of people that I’ve talked to with this one just even spinning freely or not even moving at all.
I drove about 1,200 miles on these coilovers, only back and forth to the track five times, and then the miles we put on the track a little bit around town so a little less than 1,200 miles, over the course of six months, so it’s not a huge indicator of performance, but driving with these on the track, it’s pretty aggressive. I live in the desert, and then some of the offs that we had have been pretty rough going through the dirt just the way my dad’s spun out a few times.
If I want to be competitive, I think they were a little too soft for that, but these are solid for your everyday driver, if you just want to have a little bit of fun, I think we’re still gonna leave these on this car, and we’re going to continue in next year. This car so I think for someone that’s learning these are great. They’re inexpensive if you could essentially buy like three sets of these for the price of one decent set of coilovers like even a function form brand-new.
