everyones gonna tell u its a bad idea.. but they might be good for you.. test them out and see..
i ran them on my protege, and it was nice for daily driving but with harsh driving the rear tie bar/strut bars witht he ebay coilovers, my car was waaaay to stiff..but i doubt u drive a protege...lol
There ok, but kinds bouncy....
nopes trust me noooooowell if u have good set of shocks/struts they pretty decent
for auto x? noo way. you'll be bouncing all over the place.
dont take anything i say srsly. its the interwebs.
they are not as bad as ppl make them out to be... throw em together with some good shocks and they have a very decent ride considering the price
Well I just have a stock 90 civic 4dr, and I'd like to lower it (cheaply lol) and probably get a ST rear sway bar, since overall that would be about 150 dollars, and I'm on a rediculously low budget. My friend has a 240 and in my opinion it rides fine its just slightly slightly bouncy I don't know if it would be the same in my 4dr (his does have KYB gr-2's which I hear are just OEM replacement basically). Would it be a better idea to spend about 60 more and get the Megan coilovers? (the plain locking perch ones not full). Please don't recommend these 600+ dollar coilovers I'm WAY too poor for that, I just want a simple 1" drop and a rear swaybar so my car won't handle quite as shitty as it does now. As for doing autocross I've never even done it before but I would like to try it someday. I've got no racing experience at all so I'm going to do terrible but I'd at least like to have my car do a little better than a dead stock one. So what do yall think? $40 ebay's or $110 Megan's which look suspiciously similar to the ebays...

i went with the ebays and it was a pretty good ride and i dropped mine 4in so with a one inch drop the ride will probably be better imo
if you think ebays are a good ride, im glad such cheap parts can make you happy.
have you seen the picture where the sleeve tears after a long period of use because its made out of soft aluminum?

ebay coilverss , u knw the top part idk wht is called but i will just crack after 1 yr or so.. and then u ill be makin stupid noises
i know people who have had ebay coilovers for over 3+ years on stock struts and never had a problem. and these were as low as they went to, 3 inches or 4, idk.
well i had them over 2yrs almost 3.5 inch drop but bad struts and shocks
negative ghost rider that decision is dumb.

I've had my Ebay slip-on coilovers for almost 3 years now & they ride perfectly fine; on stock struts too. Doesn't bounce or anything, pretty much feels stock. Don't expect to be able to take it to the mountains but they're cheap & does the job. Of course, if you have a bigger budget then go with the BIG BALLER stuff.
had mine for a year dropped 4in no probs at all
I orderd sum coilovers off ebay ($38) just got them a few days ago..im putting them on tmr morning..ill let you know how it does on my fat ass accord
atleast u got blue ones... the ones i ordered showed a blue pic and when i got them they were hulk green lol...I orderd sum coilovers off ebay ($38) just got them a few days ago..im putting them on tmr morning..ill let you know how it does on my fat ass accord
lol actually the pic showed red with the built in measuring..when i opend the f'ed up mail box with tap all over it they were blue ^^^^ .lol
i would never do it. i mean, they are going to sag and collapse over time. for autox or rr, never! but if you don't mind risking it on an old car or whatever then go for it.
personally, i feel if you don't have $200 for some eibach or other quality lowering springs then you shouldn't be modding your car.
idk bout the other people using them but im only using them for a month if that till i get the rest of the money for the air ride..so mines only very temporary lowering.
never not auto x better to be safe than sorry
project- boost coming soon!
^ sorry, but wtf did you just say? lol
dont buy em for auto x , get quality better to be safe than sorry
project- boost coming soon
i am buying some for my 91 civic sedan, BUT they will only be on there for maybe a year. untill i can afford some skunk2's
<---Click it.
me and they fucking suck and dont every buy them
Huh, the ones that it should for me were red and I got blue lol. Oh, well
same with me..red with the measuring on it..got blue with no measuring.lolHuh, the ones that it should for me were red and I got blue lol. Oh, well
Im running some middle grade (non-ebay) coilovers + tokico blues on an Integra.
The ride is okay...going over multiple bumps in a row can cause a lot of bounce. I don't have any problems on flat road/small bumps and it handles fine.
Only reason they're even on my car is I got the whole setup for $200.
I'm just biding my time while I save up money for JIC Magic <3
Ya, mine were on my car when i got them, and I wish it was stock!!There ok, but kinds bouncy....
i couldnt find the pic i was tlaking about, but this is the closest thing i could find.
the sleeve will give out, and i guarantee you it will happen sooner or later.
after that, you'll be riding on the strut.
^^^ thats wht happned to mine but it wasnt this bad
what do yall estimate on the lifetime on dem cheap ebay ones? a month or two will b straight.right? im putting sum on in an hr for temporary
like i said before i rode mine for 2 years on my protege, and they are still being used on my friends mx3. but i think there ,might be a difference i got mine alooong time ago. i think now there are tons of bad companies selling shitty springs.
Damn, I hope that shit dont happens to me. BTW im looking at some skunk 2's as we speak to purchse ASAP. Kinda tired of bounching every time I hit a bump.

Also what the hell are those round rubber pieces for ( you know the ones that come with the coilovers)......? Can anyone explain were they go?
Look not bad!

there supposed to go between the coil spring and the strut i believe to keep them from clanking and makin noises.
