In spirit of doing this as cheaply as possible, anybody know anything about the Arospeed Coilovers?
edit: Only see the ones for 00-04 celis, would these work on the older celis? This post has been edited by phokur: Oct 19, 2007 - 12:31 PM |

If you're just getting the coilover springs, and not a full set, I would go with nothing but Ground Control. Everything else looks pretty cheap and crappy. I spent 500 bucks and got my coilovers and brand new shocks. It's worth the money. Don't go with "Arospeed" or "dropzone" or "bombz" or anything like that. Stick with something that has more of a background to it.

definately get those tires balanced. It really shouldn't be too expensive. maybe $10 or $15 at the most! I work at America's tire co. and I know it makes a big difference. if not anything else, it'll prolong the life of your tires, as would having them rotated and rebalanced every 6,000 miles or so. (I'd just do it every oil change)

I was pretty much the only one on this site that has used them. I liked them a lot really right feeling in the corner and performed very well. almost go-kart like. never had an issue with them, BUT they are very stiff springs, not something you'd really want for your average daily driver. |
