these are crap, right? they're too cheap to be anything but, but i just got a smoking deal on a new bass that was 'too cheap to be anything but crap' so i'm not TOO quick to dismiss...

Are they crap compared to $1,500 full complete/racing/JDM/real/dampening adjustable/ coilovers, well, yeah. But if you don't drift/race/auto-x/drag + can't appreciate them it's a waste of money.
Most of us could buy another 240sx for $1,500, right.

It depends on what you wanna do-
most people just want to lower their 240 an inch to inch and a half on stock shocks and just drive on the street- but some guys on here will try and convince you you HAVE TO SPEND $1,500 or you're not cool. Let's see what happens

............

Please give us more info- why do you want to lower your car- what do you do with your car- what is your budget.
If you want to lower your car a little- these are just fine.

i just want something that drops it a little bit, but i'm more concerned with firming up the ride and making it a tad more....tossable i guess would be the word.

i don't autox or drift or road race, but i'd like to. for now though, yeah it'd just be for street and spirited driving out in the country. price....i dunno - the cheapest thing that doesn't suck

any idea how a set of those springs with some of the kyb agx's would ride compared to a car with koni adjustables and neuspeed springs (my setup on my scirocco which i liked very much)

whiteEFhatch · 05-13-2003, 10:03 PM

Honestly you probably wouldn't be happy with those cheapo coilovers since you have experienced a good setup that you liked.
240's are known to handle better with shock/spring upgrades but look like *** because the car for some reason wants to stay the stock ride height with modest lowering/performance springs.
It depends if you want to sacrifice handling so that you can adjust the height to your liking.

(I haven't heard the words "pro-kit" or "sportline" in a LONG time)----> all Dousan's fault!

Dousan_PG · 05-13-2003, 10:07 PM

NOOOO
im not responsible for that.
im responsible for people wanting LSD
hahahaha

i highly suggest shock and springs
90% of the people out there DONT Need coilovers.

prokits are nice
i like sportlines, they ride nice w/ AGX

Warwick5s · 05-13-2003, 10:24 PM

cool thanks for your input guys. i'd definitely rather have something that handles well than is slammed if i have to choose one or the other.

andrave · 05-13-2003, 11:32 PM

man, my friend got some of those cheap *** coilovers for his civic- they come with tiny *** coils for the front and you have to modify the spring seats, they ride like total ***, they are incredibly hard to adjust.
I'm sticking with tein S techs (if they ever get here, avoid E3racing on ebay at all costs).

EDIT- wow I said *** three times and it blanked it out, which made me look like a total potty mouth.
you know, it seems to be overreacting when it blanks out "I assume" or "my windshield glass" like I've seen it do before.

Hahahaha!!!

I've seen E3Racing's ebay rating and its totally laugh-able!!!!
