Well i talked to my supplier about getting coilovers and he told me about tom-motorsport coilovers from japan which are almost exactly the same..

Well know im kinda sketchy, they list only one set for an integra(94-01) and it doesnt say type r anywhere on it..

Constructions is very similar, minus the fact that it comes witha wrench and they are slightly different. Now before i put this on my R i wanted a wicked suspension and i thought these were the same as GC's but i guess they are not, did i just buy some JDM "crap"?

Please let me know, i never really cheap outy but i thought i'd give them a chance..

Oh yea the spring rates are 400 and 500 and they are not eibach. they said they are made in japan.

 

When I bought my R I saved up for 3 months to get my TIEN HA coils over suspension and I am gald I did. It was my first mod.

Try to do research on products.

I thought TOMS was for Toyatas

 

I think TOMS is for toyota(not tom no "s"), i was told they were identical to ground controls, but i guess not.

I had ground controls in my old car(5th gen lude)and they were the best investment i made in that car, they were excellent!

Im going to tell you straight out then, I think they are crap.
save up for something nice. Something that has a real racing background like
TEIN, ZEAL, APEXI N1, MUGEN, JIC, SPOON ect....
Im just trying to give you good advice
Do what you wish

 

I kinda agree. They look like these.


And this is made by Rocketz, which doesn't inspire much confidence.

 

Argg know i know who not to get from..

I have two choices, TEIN, or Ground Control with yellow KONI's..

I her tein is overrated though, true?

 

This is true.

Getting anything below RA is really just getting Teins for the sake of saying you have Teins.

450/550 Ground Controls on Bilsteins or Koni Yellows.

 

i wouldn't put that **** on my car if it was free!

they are good for the garbage!

 

This is not good advice. Properly installed coilover sleeves work really well.

 

Well if you say so

 

I am always under the impression that Tom's is a big time Toyota tuner, not Honda.

Edit: Is Tom's the ones you talk about?

TOyota Motor Sports

as far as i knew TOMs only made parts for toyotas, but then again i have seen TOMs brake pads for integras and B series oil caps supposedly made by TOMs on ebay (but who believes anything they see on ebay?????)

Possibly those coilovers were once owned by a guy named Tom but i would doubt very much if the rteal TOMs made them!!!
