Has anyone bought these to drop their car, the cheaper alternative to coils? I need to know if there were any big problems or damage to the shocks before I think about buying them. Can the oem shocks handle this system?

 

the oem shocks can handle it but after a couple months they'll blow out. just get some aftermarket shocks while you're putting in the ground controls. you wouldn't want to do the same job twice.

 

O so might as well just get a set of coilovers. Lo thanks

 

I'm actually looking into koni shocks + gc coilover combos. It's generally cheaper than tein SS. Anyone have experiences with it?

 

a local.... if you got money for ground controls... you can afford Function & Form Type-I coils..


yup.

 

^that


i was considering ground controls too but the price of those + decent shocks that can handle the drop = F&F Type 1. but i decided to go with eibach + kyb gr2 because coilovers tend to seize up with road salt.

 

^ they seize up if you don't take care of them....

i still spray mine and clean mine once in awhile even tho i don't even drive my car...

btw... these days, coilovers come with a new black coating on the threads to help prevent rusting from road salt.

like my BC racing coils!
