I have the Axas suspension and to tell you the truth, there not bad. People talk crap about it but, never experienced the ride. The product is what you call "The bang for the buck" the spring rate is very stiff (8 to 6). They dont look cheap either.. i get compliments on them all the time. So my advice is get them if your using them for street purposes. Theres no need for you to get any big name or even the best suspension if your not gonna go use them. (like the track)

Thanks for speaking up about this suspension where did you buy them from and how much did it end up costing?

ALso do you think i can run stiffer spring rates on these? IM looking at 1000lbs in rear and 800 in the front?

btw do you have pictures of them? before installation etc.

none can back up any claims and all use some bullshit features to try and impress themselves as a real suspension
save up and get progress or wait until I get my IAS's and read the review

tien is **** too

there cute for dropping a car but 99% of people will be better off ride wise by going with a simple spring and dampener - changing the ride height messes up alignment and most of theose types of coil springs lose there rates dramatically over time

I'm only getting coilovers because I want the car exactly at the minimum height for HC and then to corner weight it there something useless for most other people as well

If you really have to spend the money and go with progress http://www.progressauto.com yes they have many many actual racecars and street cars doing testing for them

yea u can upgrade the spring rate to 10k, that was my next step to having the suspension to a stiffer ride but, the thing is with this suspension you automatically have to drop 2" min. When i bought my suspension i didnt get a really good price like my friend did, i bought them for 650 but like the guy said there on ebay for 378 shipped. Same product no scams. I have some pics too.

before i got the suspension.


Going into shop for installs...


The Product, and damn they dont look cheap.

Bro, So tell me what other suspension you know about then, "that are up there with Tien?" Axas has a stiffer spring rate then Tien does (IN THE SAME CLASS). Why would i pay all that money for tien but, get even better quality with Axas, and still upgrade the spring rate, and also have money left over for something else.

TIEN Basic= $750
AXAS w/upgrade skunk2 10k=$578

I have the axas suspension and it is an awesome setup!

I got my setup off of ebay for 378 shipped. I recieved them at my door step in 6 days.

Thanks for the pictures. The springrates i want is 20K rear and 18K front. Do you think it can handle it?

10K is a bit too soft for me.

those coilovers LOOK cheap! What are you talking about. Based off just looks.....I'd give a big ..no need to worry about anythig else, cause of course they're gonna be garbage.

and WTF do you need 800 lbs front and 1000 lbs rears for !!!!!!! You are nuts. Run half those rates on the street and it's too stiff for any street tire.

You have a LOT of homework to do pal. Tein, Omni, Axas, all made for lowering the car.

And never base a coilover based on the spring rates it comes with. Just because a spring rate is higher, doesn't mean the damper can handle it OR it's better quality....GEEZ, the lack of knowledge or want to learn thats floating around this forum
