Don't worry, be happy

FishyFishFish,

Nothing f**ks up a car more than bargain coilovers. Dont't regret missing out on cr*p. I have seen these things advertised under at least 10 different brand names. Check out some Honda sites. They have the same ones for $600.

The problem with these and other cheap coilovers are the crummy adjustment mechanisms that jam after just a few months use and the poor rebound control and lack of real adjustability for low speed rebound.

If you want to save monet do it on springs but stick with name brand shocks or coilovers. And always match your shock rates to your spring rates. If a shock company can't tell you the range of spring rates for their shock then move on.

So, be happy that you "missed out" on this "bargain"

Regards,
Alan
