Never heard of them. Their feed back is private but they have had 46 negative feed backs this month and 982 positives.

yea f that. im just gonna get tein springs. it comes out to around 300 for coilovers due to the fact of having to get caster camber kits and get an alignment done. I dont wanna rediculously bad camber like that piece of **** rice i see everywhere. while ill still prolly need to get an alignment done itll just come out to be less anyway.

Wow, thoes are the same ones I put on my Dodge neon, after 1000 miles and a 2inch drop I blew all my struts (kyb GR-2). It turns out the spring is crap! it cant keep the car stable!
Also the threaded part is made of aluminume (my spelling sucks) and is held on by 3 hex head screws (its late and I cant remember the name) and they all stripped out when I tighted them down. The front will not hold and you will do what I did after 500 miles........40 miles from my house in downtown St. Louis the screws came out (becouse they could not hold) and I blew my 1st set of front struts! I had to drive all the way home 40miles with no front struts or springs what a rollercoster! Then had to buy a new set of struts and rethread the damn holes only for them to blow all 4 500 miles later!!! They are cheap, and like you've been told...You get what you pay for! J- |

i got ground control coils with eibach springs...there so easy to adjust...they've been holding up well but i think the coil sleeves dont sit properly on the strut assebly cause i hear the spring clinking or something when i turn slowly...i need to get new shocks too so i dunno if that has anything to do with it...always go brand name...if not you;ll be spending a grip later on repairs...

evilspeed.com sells the bearings needed to get rid of that poping noise its from your springs binding.

would it also have to do anything with the o-rings between the coils and the shocks? cause when i replaced my shocks i also put new o-rings in between and the popping noise stopped for awhile...
