Just got the right side coilover on sunday cause it broke, and now the left . sick of this bulsheot. Time to get rid of these things. All they do is ping and pop and bang and rattle. How the hell can cattman sell this shiit. Piece of crap is what they are

 

Understand your frustration. Ease up on the language or risk being moderated.

Again, understand your feelings, just keep the language PG.

 

I've been looking over the Cattman coilovers, but after this reaction I think it's safe to say NOPE

 

man that sucks
i feel your pain

Yeah, I say stay away from them too. I have them and 98 max is right. All they do is make alot of noise, and give a jarring ride. I helped the ride out some by changing the spring rates. They were all wrong for this car. He didn't even use heavy-duty upper strut mounts!! That was the first to go on my car. The threads aren't secure to the strut body, causing them to rattle all the time. Doesn't give a stable ride. We need a true coilover setup using threaded strut bodies, instead of just a threaded collar.

 

I've ridden in two cars (one I30, one Max), with the Cattman set-up and they were both suuuuweet. How low did you go?

 

About 8 months. But damn, I dont even- like race around on the street or anything. The front is on 1 and the rear is on 3. I have it set REAL soft so it would NOT brake. It is lowerd 3 inches in front and 2.5 in the rear. Damn this sux. Appoligize to the Maxima comunity for the langauge but I am realy maddd

Good thing you didnt sell me the Eibach's, eh?

 

3 inches front and 2.5 rear?? thats low... really low

 

its low but now realy low. I can still put my hand inbetween the tire and fneder and tuch the strut.

 

You have iddy biddy hands

 

LOL. Nah, it is just not that low. As you know the maxima comes with MAD wheel gap. The eibock/tokiko settup lowers 1.25 inches. so i am 1.75 lower in front and 1.5 in the rear.

 

Frustrating but assuming you have the first gens, they are just not made to drive around that low. Unfortunately pinging is par for the course on the Gen I's. I can't really visualize the collar banging around since it was a real pita to get mine off
You gotta admit, they handle awesome in the twistie.

 

Not a good post. Sounds like a poorly expresed technical problem?

 

Yep, I already spent too much money because my Cattman's broke twice, that's why I'm gonna switch to Ground Controls already.

 

3inch drop on any coilover is pretty much to much for driving. I think the gen 2's are better than the gen 1's but I guess i'll see over time.
