LOWERED SUSPENSION FOR SALE!!!

i am going with air cylinders next week on the cl, so i am selling my entire suspension kit:

-APC coil over kit, - lowers 1"-4" (springs, sleeves, wrenches) retail $269. these springs are silver (very sharp)

-KYB GR2 struts (all 4). these retail for around $90 a piece.

the entire kit was put on at once, and has about 6,000 miles on it. there is nothing wrong with anything, everything is in mint!

retail for everything about $630. these are APC coil overs, not the no-name brands on ebay!

my price: $350 for everything (shipping extra) email me if you are interested!

hows the ride? how would you compare the ride and performance from my suspension:
tokiko sport blue shocks, eibach sport springs 2" drop, and suspension tech sways....
to this set up.... which is better HONESTLY if you know or anybody knows...

vtechump: i'd rather not say what it costs me due to the fact that we (MobileWest) has a dealer account with the company. but we are going to offer the entire kit for cl's for about $1899.

casper: how can i compare? i never rode in your car. besides, tokico's, IMO are overrated if you ask me.

but the ride is pretty nice. definietly not stock because my cl is lowered almost 3.5 inches. but i have been around a (estimated) 55 degree bend at 92 MPH with no squeeks! very low, but with the air rods, were sitting frame baby!!!! plus now i can change my oil without ramps!!

How long should those shocks last? Anyone know? and is the ride super bumpy with those coilovers cause i heard the sleeve type are really bad?

Ground Control makes wonderful sleeve coilovers (when you correctly pair the spring with the particular shock). Not sure about these though.

honestly, the ride is good. not bumpy at all. you know how you can tell when a car or truck is lowered by the way it bounces down the road? anyway, this kit doesnt do that. it is a little bumpier harder than stock, but by no means bumpy. it is like a sport suspension ride... nice and tight.

sorry for the misprint earlier. the kit will sell for $2299 from us, it retails for $2826. this kit will do F/B/S/S. later fellas, have a GREAT weekend!

The setup that you currently have is way better as far as performance goes. Those sleeve coilovers are basically only worth getting to slam or raise your car for shows. IMHO. If you go with a sleeve type go with the ground controls.

If you can post some pic's of the kit I might be interested. I want to see how it looks. I need to lower my car and this will be good especially for the price. Another thing how are the shocks? Are they still good or are they bad? Be honest!
