there junk .. get somthing, you dont wanna be riding on junk...

[Element23]

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.

dont forget about struts.. I knoew I got both my springs and struts for 400 bucks.. I have kyb- gr2's, and sportlines.. well worth the money..

[Element23]

oh yea i already have KYB GR-2's. I took that into consideration.

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!

holy crap. that sucks! bummer dude. well about the springs. what are your guyses opinions on teins?

[Drocay]

i recommend either the tiens or the tenabe's.

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...

[Drocay]

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

[jbnery6465]

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...
