whats the best *cheap* coil over kit?
Uh. The thing with cheap sleeves is the spring will rub against them and the adjustable perch will wear and so will your thread on the sleeves. I had the experience with weapons r coilovers and rs coilovers. your better off saving your money for a full coilover set. I seen some in superstreet for 150 dollars.

Right on bro!!
Right on bro!!
I have had cheap arospeed/RS racing coilovers for well over a year...they arent the best handling things in the world, but they decrease body roll by a significant amount, aren't too bouncy, and are perfect for a bottom of the line suspension upgrade
I believe JCwhitney carries them, as well as some other sites

Don't worry. Give it a little more time and it will.

springs are things you dont want to fool around with...well yoou could go with some cheap brand sleeves, but have fun bouncing around like a yo-yo!!...anyways...like what they said, you get what you pay for!!...just save up for performance springs or true coilovers...its well worth the money

Judging by your signature, you sound like the one who bounces around like a yo-yo

How about save your money and buy something worth while instead of riding on some piece of **** company coil-over system? I suggest Tein Basics or maybe a Tokico Illumina setup ontop of some Ground Control coil-over sleeve/spring combo.

LOL!! I have a set of Weapon R in my shed. The guy gave me them when I bought
the car. They are jacked up. Half of the threads are gone.
You pay for what you get.

i've got arospeed coilovers,
had em for quite some time(well over a year)
no real problems, they handle very well.
only problem I had with them, was getting some sort of pebble or something stuck in the threads, and it made it hard to adjust the height until the pebble came out.
you could just make sure to clean out any pebbles or whatnot before moving the perches and you'll be fine.
aside from that, they are actually really good.
i payed 110shipped. 450lb front adn 350lb rear springs.
NOTHING has broken on these or worn out.
they are just as good as ground control if you got 450/350 rate springs they'd be the same.
oh, just make sure not to use the arospeed urethane upper spring cap, its not needed and steals suspension travel(really, its not needed, just dont put it on and ur set).

Finally...someone to back me up! I totally agree with what you said Tad...word for word heh...salt will own these coilovers, but nothing WD-40 can't handle, and I didn't use those upper urethane mounts either

good idea that myself and a few other have gone with is to buy a cheap set on ebay (got mine for $65 shipped) then add a custom spring rate of your choice and some adjustable struts, basically a make shift kit that you can customize to your driving situations. Im doing custom 500 lb front springs and 450 rear w/ agx's, height and damper adjustable for about $450 total.

yup, they're actually very good, i'm suprized how many ppl hate on them,
those folks obviously havent used them, or at least havent used them with a proper shock.
Gotta be careful not to get greedy and dump your car though, bottoming out is death for any shock.
a note for those not in the know, arospeed actually use to make a few different kinds of FULL COILOVER, never got to try them out.. but it just shows that they know at least somethin about suspension.
