why not just get the ingalls....you know they fit and last....150 for the set...this seems like 144 for the set


my front Ingalls ball joints are done (after 100K miles), Morgi suggested replacing with Ingalls itself....








....so imma get Skunk2

also, with Ingalls the max neg you can go is -1.5

and if you are running -3 upfront currently, running ingalls at max is not recommended....so you will be at -1 up front

EDIT: I have used Rockauto before....great website and prices....shipping is quick too

I didn't realize Ingalls had a front set available for the TL. I'll go research it now!

Edit: Is this what you have, Anil?

Oh I know about the fortune auto 500, I used to have a s13 was like ball sack close to buying it but bought an apexi power FC with the commander. Wished I had option like the Nissan world. Also like the power by max stuff cause of the gold. I may get a chance to get some Megan, Bruce just hit me up and the kid that bought it don't want them anymore. But Bruce doesn't want to refund his money so he acting like a middle man for us. I pay Bruce to shipp it and pay the kid for the coils.

Rockauto is good to go. I usually get some coupon code to get free shipping or 10% off sometimes

The the coilovers debate is outrages I heard all lower end (cheaper) coil are made in Taiwan or mayasia only a few company build there in japan/ America/Europe lol. Only company I always like we're kW variant a friend running that on his drift car and are sweet. Just can never afford them.

The Skunk2 are so expensive but I don't want to run the Ingalls at full -1.5

Evan, I like those, but I think they would look a bit out of place on your car since everything else is a light color.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make this one unfortunately. I've been seeing the event for awhile, and I just couldn't get the logistics in order this time. Maybe next time!

Yea, Tein and Fortune Auto are made in Taiwan too, but not the same factory that pumps out KSport/D2. BC/Megan is made there as well, but in a different factory too.

KW are definitely worth the money though. Same goes for Bilstein, Eibach, and Koni even.

^My only issue with KW is that you can't order custom springrates, and they will not custom valve anything below the Club Sport. As a result, even if you buy a Swift spring upgrade, you can only really go up 2k from the KW OEM spring rate.

I think the swift spring upgrade thing was for the fortune auto 500 I know they have that as a option. Kw are just plain ole expensive but never heard someone complaining except the cost.

I just made an instagram, maxw84itbooya if u want to follow, be prepared for to hate on all the food I eat. Trying to be hip and all lol

KW definitely makes great coilovers, it's just for my particular setup they're SO soft. If I could send them to KW to get rebuilt/revalved and go up about 5k on the springrates, then that would be awesome. They just will not do it for the v3. Only the Club Sport, which is $3400.

They seem to get great reviews, but you do pay a bit for the name - not saying that's a bad thing. General consensus is that they're very good; in the same league as KW.

My apologies, I meant that to read as "thirty-sevens" and not a specific model.

ALL TE37 in 17" are being discontinued.

I think those are going to be one of the next two things done to the TSX and both will be track related. Come on bonus time.

Dang. Well even though mine are not the best specs I think that means I will be keeping them forever then. Might be scared to use them as my track wheels now too.

The events of this morning have me thinking it's time for a career change. I dare not go into specifics here, but suffice it to say it's been a long time coming.

I'm heading to the lego store tomorrow and then the uncc meet after that.

Who's down other than Tyler and Bryan?
