Default Vspec coilovers

Anyone have these? If so, how are they? Really stiffy? The ride quality? Are they cheap or good coilovers? Thanks.

I these too with stock shocks, and are set all the way to the top. I had my shocks bottom up a lot of times due to potholes etc... They are good on the freeways and are not to stiff. But even though they can be used with stock shocks, I recommend aftermarket. because like somone mentioned , it lowers the front 1.5 even set to the top.

VSpec coilover sleeves are ok... they are not the greatest, but if all you car about is ride adjustability with a little sacrifice of performance then go for it. Stay away from DropZone coilovers since their springrates are too soft and the quality just sucks . However, for VSpec coilovers and other similar coilover sleeves...you can buy better coilover sleeve springs (like the eibachs from ground control coilover sleeves).

For better options, you can opt for the Koni Yellows + Ground Controls or visit Neuspeed Racing website and check out their clearance section for a cheap priced FULL Coilover setup.

I have the Tein HA and I have no complaints at all...anyways goodluck!

cheers

speaking of coilovers, how do Maxspeed ones ride? I'm thinking about getting a set. I wanna be able to ride on stock shocks.

Is 1.5" in the front too low with a kit you think? I was hoping for a 1.3" drop in the front, but hearing how they drop 1.5" all the way to the top... dunno. I just don't want to crack my front bumper (bomex).

From experience, I think they're a very poor quality set up. I put them on my friend's prelude for him only to end up replacing them with some neuspeeds cause the ride quality was awful.

Stay away from them, like the usual aftermarket stuff, it's cheap quality. Like other saids, stick with something like GroundControl or Skunk 2.

Anyone have pictures of their car with Vspec coilovers? Or anything that's dropped 1.5" in the front.

Thanks!

exactly how mickey513 sed.
either save up and get gc or skunk2 coilvers so you don't waste your money and time later tryin to sell them and buy better ones.
or just pick up good springs to drop your car.

Would it be possible to just buy the coil sleeves and then buy custom rated springs to fit them? What about just putting a coil sleeve on a stock spring?
