just wondering if anyone has seen/heard/used these godspeed coilovers
there are 2 kinds, dampening and non-dampening
i know they look like some cheap ebay china knock off crap, but im not looking here to see bashing on the ebay/china product, but to actually get a "user review" on them

from the appearance, they look like megan/function & form knock offs

non-dampening

Godspeed? There's a name from the past.....

 

different GodSpeed

 

poop on a stick.

 

can any 1 get a discount on these?

 

Kudos to them for describing the product as "16 Levels of Adjustable Damper" instead of the grossly incorrect "16-Way Adjustable."

But I'm taking points away for calling it a "pillow ball" instead of a spherical bearing.

Sounds more like trendy Engrish to me.

 

anyone try these yet? they look decent

 

I'm willing to do a detailed review about them if people are willing to help me pay for it.

i wont ask for the Full amount but even a $1.00 here, $5.00 there would help greatly.

nothin wrong with china crap....D2's and k sports r made in China actually. They're the same thing, but for some reason D2 Racing decides to charge 400 more.

which brand?

 

How much you wanna bet that these user reviews you ask for will look something like this:

"I love them. My brothers, uncles, homies former roomate got a set. They rode great. Very smooth, very stiff. Not bouncy."

You're not going to get something worthwhile at that price point. R&D, efficient design, quality materials, and product support just won't be found on a $450 set of new full coilovers. A good set of dampers alone will cost that much at a minimum.

At that price point, I'd rather buy reputable parts used.

 

There most likely is no R&D, chances are they are an exact copy of another company that spent countless dollars and time into R&D and this company bought a set copied them exactly and is now mass producing them over seas for next to nothing. Same thing that happened with tial and the knockoff wastegates. They are and exact copy, tial parts can even be interchanged with them.

 

i mean for the price, what is everyone expecting? Moton, pensek performance?

the people that get them like me, jsut want to slamm on it.

 

buy them already and let us know how you like them

 

waiting for my tax return, screw R&D...... sometimes

 

k sport r d2's were redesigned..they're the same things

That is about as sophisticated as the average "review" for suspension on here. And I don't care how cheap it is. Cheap garbage is still garbage. Putting lipstick on a pig is not one of my hobbies.
