Do these coilover kits actually work well or are they like a copycat of the whole coilover set:

they're a piece of **** dont spend your money on that save up buddy and get good coilovers bro

 

a buddy of mine had them in his subie, they SUCK!, on OE or stock replacement struts, they ride like ROCKS, and then the threads on one of the sleeves stripped out, i wouldnt recommend them, start of with tokicos and Tien S.Techs, best bang for your buck on a budget

 

alright cool i was just wondering because my friend actually bought something like these for his civic i think but ehh. im trying to find a nice coilover set. something around maybe the 600 range or the shock/springs set for around 300. at least for the car i have untill i get the miata or 2000 i30 LOL

 

yeah for me i am on a budget. i was looking at max95q's tokico illumina set and i don't know if that's good at least for daily driver status. that is what im mainly looking for

 

miata you say?...lol i have one im selling its to bad im all the way in CT

 

yep dad got it with no engine for 500. now there is an engine in it, but we need space in the garage haha. but yeah i need a suspension set sometime soon since i need to replace my already failing stock suspension.

 

yo my homie is tryna sell his coilovers and he's somewhat local down here in SoCal he has Boss Chens one of the best coilover setups for comfort i believe we met tho remember the i30 we met up at night im the black guy lol and the philipino was doughboy aka VQ'rInWLA and the white guy was his friend lol do you remember us? lol well anyways DB is the one selling his Boss Chen coilovers and i might sell my BC Racing coilovers too. just a heads up for you since we're both somewhat local

 

yep i remember. i was half asleep kinda haha but i remember. and i heard DB selling his set. He said he was selling it for 650 or something i think. and I don't know how much you are selling yours for. kinda on a budget so im not looking for something too high. and also know that Snypa is also selling his set too. Just a matter of where i get the money from LOL. But I do remember you guys haha.

 

ok after this ima stop thread jacking, im selling my 90 running and driving, needs front sheetmetal for 1000, engine had 32k on it and runs mint...ok thats it lol

 

Don't you have a suspension set you are selling or am i just saying things.

 

i would love to get my hands on some boss chen for my 5.5 i would give up my bc for those

 

i dont, i was just recommending S.Teachs and tokicos lol, but the 4th gen classifieds are perfect for this, theres always a set or 20 on there

 

Cheaping out on suspension parts ....


Im not gonna flame cuz thats not my style man...but coilover for 80 bucks??? Cmon man, u know that shyt not gonna last. I mean, the advertising says it goes over stock springs: so that means u lowering stock struts 0-3"???? them shyts would blow the first time u drive over a pothole lol.

If u on a budget, jus throw some Tokico blues on it with stock springs. Or jus save up man for the blues with some springs. U in socal so u can get the GR2 if u really on a budget.

Dont do Stechs on stage 1 suspension (tokico blues). U gonna need stage 2 (illuminas or Konis) for drops that low.

Dont cheap out on suspension, u jus gonna end up spending more in the end.

 

Dont buy it.

 

coool lol yea just be patient if you really want coilovers save a lil here and there. Have you been in a max or i30 or any car with coilovers before? just a heads up to see how it feels some people dont like em but i love em lol gl on getting coilovers or shock/springs.

 

Presheate yuh for the referral bruh!

Yeah Im gauging interest on my Boss Chens....itd have to be a local transaction since I cant have the car down for more than a day. Try searching for Boss Chens on here. Theyre a rare breed.

Also, DONT get those coilovers!!! Suspension is one of those things you just dont cheap out on bruh.

 

yeah i for sure won't go cheap i guess. For now i'm probably going to go stock for my car then. When i get another car then ill go out on them with the suspension. Hopefully my dad can pay for the suspension LOL. But yeah i won't buy these for sure then. thanks for your guys' help.

 

Errrrr. Try again. You were supposed to say, "yeah i for sure won't go cheap i guess. I'm interested in your Boss Chens. How much are you selling em for?" Now walk out the door, come back in and try again. Well act like this never happened.

 

well i mean for my car im probably gonna stick to stock till i get the newer i30 then go out on that that's why. otherwise i would have asked that exact same question. hahah.

 

Get them. The auction says they are JDM. Nuff said.

 

we all know JDM=quality.

 

Yup, JDM is always better than USDM.

 

LAWLS hahahah

 

lol

 

On a serious note tho, im confused. Aren't Boss Chen's, BC coilovers???

 

Boss Chen's ≠ BC Racing (Bor Chuann)

However,

BC Racing = D2/KSport/etc,etc,etc

 

Oh, what's your direct experience with the product? Got a review thread for us? Would like to know details!!

So wait, you're giving advice on a product you don't have direct experience with?

This makes very little since to me.....


FALSE! Unless DS/KS/etc. decided to stop making low quality coilovers and badged them as BC racing....

 

Do we have a poll of what people have for their suspension set?

 

i installed them, repaired them, drove the car on them, raced the car on them, and removed and replaced them with tiens..... i have had a little experience with them

 

On your maxima?

How about this, WHY do you want these?

 

on my buddies subie, that used to be mine, i wouldnt recommend them, thats my $0.02

 

These coilover sleeves tend to suck because adjusting height affects preload since thats the only way to adjust em. The lower you go, the bouncier it gets....

 

i found these...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GROUN...Q5fAccessories

i dont know much about suspensions for our 4th gems but i know that i had a set of ground control lowering springs for my old car and i loved them... has anyone had any of these on their cars? bc 400 is ALOT easier to afford then 6 or 700.
i have a dropzone setup on there now and it ride ok i guess but i was wondering if anyone knows more about GC for the 4th gen..

 

Were you slammed on the GC's?

 

i was pretty low but i wasnt really slammed ill let you be the judge of if i was slammed or not
that was with the coilovers down

this is with them up

 

i only adjusted them down all the way once and i didnt like the fact that my tires rubbed on every single bump

 

I wd mess with these before tryin the ones the OP was referring too.

Still however, i dont like em and would either go coilovers or loweriing spring/strut combo.

Something about lowering on stock struts jus seems demeaning to me. Especially if they are original struts. if u lower ur car on old struts then they are sure to blow.

Maybe if u get new stocks u can lower on them. But new OEM struts cost 130 apiece. Thats almost doube what Gr2 cost and stock isnt performance.

 

well i have dropzone shocks right now and the guy that had the car before me had a 2 inch drop on 18s and said it rode like a champ
