eBay Motors: 240SX S13 90-94 SPRINGS SHOCKS COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT (item 330290164849 end time Dec-04-08 16:07:50 PST)

has anyone checked these out? they seem stiff as **** LOL and herra cheap. just wondering if i can get your guys opinions on these.

wgJoY · 12-01-2008, 10:59 PM

$500 dorra shipped huh.
That's a little too cheap.

Can't help but be skeptical, especially since its eGay.

I've never heard of C8, maybe other people on these forums have..

From what i read, it seems legitimate.. but if I were you, man i would just wait.

Save up and get some real coils. You'll sleep better at night, and your car will too. Trust me.

edit: and their spring rates are retarded wtf?

looks kinda sketchy bro I would think hard before spending your money on the cheap stuff

PBM is the stiffest factory w/ 10/8

they look like kport/Megans generally cheap garbage

Dfigga · 12-02-2008, 08:51 PM

yeah but no one has tried them out or are either too scared.

*ManoNegra* · 12-03-2008, 07:55 AM

Scared of what?
Risking my life on cheap shit?
You bet.

Ninjabread · 12-03-2008, 09:01 AM

I wouldn't waste my money on that garbage.
My car had D2's once (because it came with them), And then I replaced those shitbags with stance.

NIGHT /DAY

Support the good companies, not the taiwan knock offs!

couldn't agree more... as said PO of those D2s, they are garbage and were only purchased to set ride height during the building process.

Why are you looking on ebay for coilovers ?!?!

s13dan · 12-03-2008, 01:12 PM

If you havnt heard of the brand thats a bad sign. Its gatta be very hard to just develope a company that has the ability to produce a qaulity coilover system. It takes time and some R&D is real nice too.

burnsauto · 12-03-2008, 01:20 PM

the description says enough. "90-94" .... i guess the company only likes one year zenki and not the 89'...

xplicit240 · 12-03-2008, 01:28 PM

im now running stance. dont spend your money on that shit. save a little more and get some good products that has been tested. we dont want you having to come back here and bitch about them when almost everyone told you not to. =) good day

Teknolust72 · 12-03-2008, 01:37 PM

I did some R&D for a company that made a coilover that looked EXACTLY like that. The biggest problem is the lower bracket. On the opposite of the spindles bolts, there are 2 bolts that are supposed to support the lower bracket, but it ends up being a weakspot. My friend had a similar set up on his STI, and he broke the bracket after 2 laps at Willow Springs.

yota man · 12-03-2008, 01:59 PM

But guys listen to this story doesn't it just inspire you to buy their shit? J/k just save up and get something better ie something tested and with some R&D put into it.

THE CORNER EIGHT STORY
The motions are predictable, if not already etched in your sub-conscious memory. Sure-footed, you mentally rehearse the game plan:

Wide Open Throttle Uphill. Heavy on the Brakes. Quick Left, then Quick Right Downhill.

And just like that, you confidently captured the moment of Corner Eight (C8).
