I saw alot of coil cover on ebay, i wanted to find if anyone here are using them and are they worth getting. And also if someone with provide me some information about coil covers vs getting some spring like eibach.

Thanks

 

Coil overs are better. A spring like eibach, though a lowering spring is only half as good as a coil over. Coil overs are better because it is a combo for lowering and performance, that has both parts (the shock and the spring) and they are made to work together. A spring like eibach will add additional stress to your stock strut, and u will need to upgrade your strut(shocks) as well. You can do good combos of springs and struts on your own, but if you are willing to spend a little more, coils are the better investment, because they are made to work together as one unit, they also will give u a bigger drop if you're looking for that.

 

get d2's

 

omnis are too

 

or Teins.

Now the guy has so many to choose from.

 

coilovers are worth getting if you want to adjust your height (ie. raise it for the winter, lower for the summer)

if not just get springs but i say coilovers > springs

 

wtf are coil covers

 

the thing in a flash light that has the coil that goes to the battery? DUH everyone knew that

 

Sorry that me being a noob, i saw they were called coilovers...

I seen them on ebay for a total of 50bucks, I am guess thats for only the adjustable springs.

Has anyone here got them working with the OEM shocks?

 

had ebay ones, they were okay. worked well and no problems. but if you want quality, go with the D2's or teins , they are really nice.

 

What price range are those brands?

I am dumping about 1K's on some 18s MMs w/ tires and got about 500 bucks left for suppension.

I dont want the slam look because of the bad roads in DC.

I want about 1.5 drop to be a little safe... =]

 

why not try and find cheaper rims, cuz D2's i believe are about $800ish and teins are in the k's. if you dont want an insane drop, ebay ones arent for you. they drop you about 2.5 inches at its highest adjustment

 

dont get ebay coilovers.. they bounce like crazy... Deff get coils! I got the tanabes and absolutly LOVE them!

 

they really werent THAT bad haha, but yeah def. buy quality shit, speacially on the cl, its worth every cent

 

How much do they run? U got a pic of your car?

 

i have tons of pics look in the photo gallery.... my one cost $850

 

yo momma

 

I just got Tein SS for $840US. Can't install it for awhile..

 

a condom for you coilovers ?

 

are you calling us coilovers?

 

*your

 

u finally got some coilovers, so now you can lower the CL and come down to my height

im picking up those omnis for $750 CDN this weekend too...

 

 

Because your height is right? Haha, yea saw that you're getting it from TAC. When are you installing it? Maybe you can do mine too

 

im probably gonna do it with my buddy but you can come down if u want...im gonna install it whenever cuz my car will be stored in my garage, so i'll let you know when i do it

and did u buy nippon's coilovers?

 

Nope, got it brand new from JRP. Winston Churchill/Sherday Way. They had a big sale one weekend.

 

nice...how much was it CDN?

 

Dose the Tein EDFC fit our 1st Gens ?

 

you can get a prokit and kyb agx shocks for about 500 brand new shipped, and they give you about that size drop. they are both very quality products, from what i hear.

ive got em waiting for me back at home and wont be able to put them on for about 2 weeks or so. ill be in DC about 2 weeks after that, so ill let you know how they feel on those roads. i also have 18s waiting for me, but im not sure ill put them on or not during the winter.
