[accordy]

i search on ebay and found out that these coilover are cheap. i thought coilover are suppose to expensive unlike 'em spings.

It says "LOWER YOUR CAR 1" TO 4"!!!"

because they're junk

 

[accordy]

at which price would you not cosider as a junk?

 

[CrosCntryAccord]

you get what you pay for, do you think it's worth it?

price doesnt guarantee quality, if you want good coilovers look at the brands, the name brands, people on the forum are rocking.

 

[accordy]

I saw the brand tein is popular in the forum. I search for it on ebay and found these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TEIN...004QQitemZ140199462844QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

the ones in the first pic are coilover sleeves buddie....not the same as the full coilover setup with dampening adjustablitiy...and as u can see they dont come with shocks

 

[nexTOme]

coilover sleeve-you need to buy set of shocks to draw full performance out of it. research for ride quality/spring rates and all....

the sleeve you posted is basically a junk. the material it is made out of, can rust/fail on you while you have it on your car/driving. the consequence? you dont want to find out for yourself.

if you're on budget, check out omni power coilover for 650 shipped. i own it, many other members own it, and love it.

if you want ride heigh + dampening adjustability, go with amr, f2, and so on......i personally would not go with tein as their spring is too soft for me. but i dont know whats your purpose of lowering your car, so be sure to do some more research on them.

oh, and also, i wouldnt shop coilovers on ebay, unless it is legit company/legit parts.




done.

just a little side not also....a while back super street had an article about knockoff brands on ebay as well......to sum it up they said that a lot of people put of "brand name" items on ebay that look exactly like the real thing but they are not. What you have to do is look closely at the item and see if it is the same as the real thing. For example when it comes to springs/coilovers most companies have their name brand (tein, skunk2, etc) imprinted on the product, but knockoff ones just have a sticker that is stuck on..........i guess it all comes down to ......you get for what u pay for.....just my 2 cents

buy a full set of coil-overs, dont ever settle for cheapness.... unless it's roy
