Cxracing coilovers.

Anyone have any experience with em? How do they ride? I'm asking because a friend of mine recently crashed his s14 before his coils came in which are cxracing ones. He's willing to sell it to me for 300 and my stock springs and struts. Which are on my s14 right now. The specs on the cxracing coils are 32 way damper and 12kg in the front and 10kg in the rear for the spring rate. They lower the car up to 4 inches. Is this a decent deal for what I'm paying?

Don't buy used coilovers. Bad idea. Especially with Cxracing... No camber plates up front which should be a deal breaker. If not, 12/10 starts messing suspension up because of how stiff it is if you're daily driving this thing.

Friend of mine has them on his s13. They are decent coils worth the 300 bucks. fully slammed, flipped mount, and one collar removed the car sits LOW. Rides stiff but not bouncy. No camber plate? big whoop... at his height the camber is still pretty straight.

They're garbage like everything else from CXracing. Save your money and buy something else. Don't be a cheapskate.

For $300 its not bad deal at all, but they are some shitty coilovers man.

My buddies CX Racing manifold looks like it was JB Welded together and all the flux was hammered down really fast. Hell, even the metal is super soft.

I cant even imagine buying coilovers from them.

Save and get some Fortune Auto/Stance/HSD Coilovers in the $1,000 price range. Other people chime in with your .02 if my information is not correct.

dont listen to these douche bags bro.. just get them. if they don't leak, they will be just fine.

my buddy's ENTIRE s13 hatch is a completely build using all EMUSA (ebay) parts. his coilovers, his entire turbo kit, his exhaust. its a ka-t making 290whp on 10psi using a hx35. besides the injectors, turbo and tune, everything else is all EMUSA which are the cheapest ebay parts you can buy..

and his car is fucking badass bro. get those coilovers.

Wow, you guys obviously don't read. If these coils are $300, brand new from your friend, then go for it.

My s14 sits on the ground and has 0 camber without camber plates up front. If you are dailying the car, this is fine. if you plan on drifting, then you need some negative camber up front. I'm getting camber plates today but they aren't necessary for daily driving.

Worst case scenario, you buy them, put them on for a month, and if you don't like them, you sell them for the same price (since you're getting a good deal).

I say go for it.

Lowering your car makes it cool.

Just cut your springs dude. It's free, and I bet the performance difference is negligible compared to these coils.

Seriously though, do you want to listen to the seasoned veterans of Zilvia, who actually know what they're doing/talking about, or these kids that bought their cars 6 months ago, threw them together with eBay parts, and now claim they're awesome?

These are JUNK from a JUNK COMPANY. Why are people so stupid?

I wouldn't put these on my car if someone gave them to me.

If you wanna be cheap, might as well buy some isis or godspeed coils for a little more. At least they have reviews...
