hey, in my civic i have a really really really cheap set of coil overs (ebay special) with stock shocks/struts. I wanted to get something new, would i be able to get a nice set of shocks like KYB AGX's or Koni yellow's and would they be safe to use with the cheap coilovers, i don't wanna put those in and ruin them. Does anyone else have a setup like this and if so how does it ride? or should i just get all new everything. Feel free to post opinions and expieriences . Thanks in advance

 

In my opinion the "ebay special" coilovers will kill the ride on any style struts you use. The cost of the KONI struts ( which are great struts ) will be a waste if you use those coil overs. Most companies dont spend the time to really make a good spring rate to match the cars they sale the "slip over" kits for.

If you are willing to spend the money on a good set of strut/coilovers or even a spring rated to match your car slipover kit you will really love the outcome on both the ride and stance of your car.

My opinion Omni for the strut/coilover - and koni w/omni slip overs

PM me if you want any info

Good Luck

how much would a setup like that cost...or would it just be better to go with fully adjustable coilovers like k-sport or something

Hey i was going to get thouse,but can i get like 3-4inch drop?

 

I'm on a tight budget so i don't wanna spend 700 on a set of coilovers, what if i just went with a good set of lowering springs plus a good set of shocks/struts?

Omni also sales slip overs that work weel with stock shocks

 

i have a set of eibach sportlines and the rear aky agx's for sale.. PM me if interested

 

dude! you get what you pay for!!! just spend the cash and get some good suspension you can get some skunk2 drag launch coil overs and tokico 5 way's brandnew for $600 after taxes and shipped AND THEY RIDE LIKE A CHAMP then when you are ready to run turn them to 5 and go

 

You can find the omnis for 500 shipped, and those are the best coilovers right now in the 4-700 price range.

I think most important is the amount of drop. Only drop the car like 1.5 inches on those cheap coilovers, get some decent struts, and you'll notice a huge improvement.

 

i heard skunk2 coilovers ride like ****.......

 

i don't think i wanna go with coilover's. I wanna get a good spring with good shocks/struts. Does anyone know what a good spring would be to go with...and if so do you have any pics of your car?

 

I hear eibach springs are really nice. But its basically all preference and/or affordability.

 

eibachs are nice

btw, my frined has a 98 GSR with Megan Coilover Springs and Tokico Blues and it handles and rides like a dream. its not very stiff, but it handles really well. he takes it to the mountians all the time.. i think it just depends entirely on your spring and shock setup.

 

hey i got arospeed coilovers off ebay for like $60 dont know if those r good for anyone else. but once i got my tokico blues with the cheap coilovers it handles gr8. try getting new struts and tehn if it doesnt work out get new coilovers or springs.

 

bump

 

u get what u pay for..dont cheap out on suspension..

 

NEX Full Coilover Kit Coilovers found these on ebay. are these anygood. 529??
