    Default Honda guys need info on ebay coilover sleeves to finish my set up

    I'm trying to finish up my grixxerdrew coilover set up for my lexus

    eh well i got the struts and the coil springs but not the coilover sleeves

    blistein sleeves are $70 each
    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BS...5&autoview=sku

    A compatible sleeve would be 5" high and 2" in diameter.

    I see a whole bunch of cheapo coilover kits on ebay for hondas, i dont care for the springs just the sleeves
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-97...item4aa742e981

    are any of these kits 5" high and 2" in diameter? if not does any one know if any other car make has the size im probably looking for?

    the ebay sleeves for the 3g eclipse (2000-2005) are pretty long. I'd say at least 6-7 inches. I put a set on my girlfriends old eclipse and was suprised at how long they were compared to most.

    EDIT: just found one in the garage. it's 9 inches long and two inches in diameter.

    Just to be sure you get the same kit, it had red springs. If it even matters. Lol

    eh this might be a bad idea i have no clue how stiff those ebay springs are, but the rates im going with are 600lb fronts and 325lb rears

    hopefully these will hold till i can get the better ones

    I have 350lb rears and 450lb fronts on my car. Rides like shit honestly. It rode better when i had 500lb springs in the rear.

    My car is much lighter than yours though so of course that makes a difference.
