anyways, i haven't got coilovers yet(currently sitting on lowering springs and kyb's), but i did buy the front tension rod, rear camber arms, rear toe link, and the Super Tie Rod End, Angle Forged Roll Center Adjuster. i have had it installed for about 2 weeks now and thought i'd make a review.

I am suuuper impressed with all the stuff. and LOVE it, especially for the price. hopefully i can get some pictures up soon, of how all the stuff looks.

definitely going to save up and buy the coilovers, since i already know how they ride(my friend has them installed on his S2k)

You should have posted up pictures to start this thread off right. You also should have made comparisons to other cheap brands.

And fwiw, comparing S2K coilovers to S13 coilovers is kind of a long shot and provides you with little insight on what it may be like on a S-Chassis.

So right now, this review gets a D for overall execution.

Not in a literal sense, scrub.

Anyway, I was trying to give you advice. Saying something is good is all kinds of hear say.

I didn't want to have to say this but what makes you qualified to provide your insight? Seems like you haven't driven on many different brands to make a comparison to say "these coilovers are worth the money"

Also, you don't even HAVE the coilovers in your possession to even say that their coilovers are good. You're making the assumption that with 10/8K spring rates on a S2000 is going to be exactly the same on a different chassis.

With suspension arms, you need to have more than 2 weeks or more rigorous driving to provide insight on how the arms differ from brand A, B, C, etc.

So tell me am I really just being a dick or are you just lacking the facts to back your statements up?

You think your excited now? Buy some SPL suspension arms then repost a review

But seriously? What car is this on? How did your alignment turn out? Any problems installing? How have they held up since the install? ...etc

[adrians_s13]

yeah, this review thread is kinda useless if you have nothing to compare it to...

BUT I think you might be able to save this thread if you post up DETAILED pics of the arms, specifically the welds and heim joints

[LBCtoofortee]

nothing to compare it too? ohh okay. I guess you guys have driven my cars before?

I've driven on JIC flt-a2(s13), megan(s13), megan tracks(currently on my FC), Tein-HE(FC-sold), ground control(multiple friends civics of course).. megan suspension arms, godspeed suspension arms, other random ebay arms.<--- these arms are all very comparable to the ones i've tried, if not better(especially for the price) WHICH IS WHY i made this review. kay?

okay? am i qualified now, oh mighty zilvia? -______-

For one, there's no need to be a smart ass when somebody is correcting you or trying to help your thread out.

Some poor kid is going to find this thread on the internet and think "I need to get myself DME products" without ANY GOOD, SOLID INFO to back it up. And that's not really promising for the community considering companies like Godspeed, Megan, ISIS are all just replicating or producing junk compared to companies like SPL, PBM, Stance, Fortune Auto, etc.

And cool, you've driving on two different brands for coilovers for the S-Chassis. Everything else is irrelevant because they either have different spring rates and/or they are valved differently. Anyway, in terms of your experiences with, that's even better; you've got all kinds of lower brand suspension arms to compare to aside from JIC/GC's. Which leads me to my point, there really is nothing to "review" about at that point. Ebay = godspeed = DME = whatever company is putting replicated 32 dampening adjustment adonized junk out now.

I guess at this point, I'm trying to make the point that this will not end up being a proper/good review because you have not put forth any kind of information that is worth listening to.

you're an unhappy person, aren't you?

Lol, nope.

If anything I'm trying to save one person from thinking DME is some good shit for the money.

Hell, with the money I could use on DME's, I'd spend it on getting a swt of Swift springs on a set of used Megans. And then I'll have some change for a track day to finally open the eyes of what's become of the 240 community.

Boom, bop, bap. I've got myself better coilovers than DME could ever be. The best though? No.

And as for arms, you can replace the bearings with QA1's but if the welds are mediocre, say hello snap city.

All in all, if you can't prove a timeless fact, then you can't shut me up. Replica shit/non-reputable shit will always be inferior UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE...which you've done a bad job at with this "review".

[PrimeDirective]

Dude, Zoopreme is absolutely right. Your review is literally two sentences:

"I am suuuper impressed with all the stuff. and LOVE it, especially for the price"

Fucking worthless, I could of written a better review in kindergarten.
