This isn't a review thread. This is an IMDB movie chat about why Edward is the best Twilight character.

There is no concrete, real-world comparison between this setup and anything else presented. This post is one person's opinion that these coilovers are better than blown stock suspension.

OP, it's not you... it's me.
Dude what do you want from the OP Seriously. You want him to buy all of the coilovers that the market has to offer and compare them to the isis to make you happy? This dude and I don't have 1500 dollars to spend on a suspension. Yeah he compared it to his crap blown suspension it's miles better big whoop. I personally don't even care about wheel fitment and slamming a car those are bigger pains in the ass than looking good. It's low enough for me. It's cheap and it makes the car feel way better. It get s the job done. It's not going to beat the super awesome teins, Stance, PBM, Whatever but it's less than half the cost and it's better than rolling on stock. Don't shoot the guy down because he can't give you a review on what stance, etc feels compared to that if he could afford those brands he would be all over them. Me included. Quit hating on this thread. No one is saying that these are better than the name brand. But they are saying that they are a good beginner coil. i will purchase a set of these by the end of this summer.

It still does not make his review all that informative. Excuse people here but basically we see so many coilovers coming out, that we do want to know just how good they really are compared to others.
We like to see informative reviews and truthfully all his review said was it felt better than blown stock and compared to his one or two rides on other coilovers in others cars.

It did not really give us any info on rebound and his statement about going over bumps and "well we all know how coilovers are" was completely useless.

Not all coilovers are the same over bumps. Crap ones are, good ones are not.

Seriously before you get all annoyed about people bashing his review read it again and realize it does not tell you much that would help you in considering purchasing said coils.

WellWhy do you want a review of these parts. Not trying to come off mad man. Get what you want but isn't that the point? According to you everything besides name brand sucks. So why do you want him to compare it for you if all you will buy is Brand name stuff cause Ebay stuff is stupid?

Wow you are an idiot. I am speaking generally for the forum. You also assume an awful lot of what I said, in fact you assume stuff I did not say. LOL

My point which you so blindly missed is the fact that, if you are going to review something do it right. He basically put them on his car said they lowered it nice and he thinks they ride ok. To sum it up.

That to me and to a lot of other people reading the forum is not that informative.

A statement like "speed bumps were a bit rough but hey, when aren't they with coilovers'? Is a uneducated statement and not review worthy.

It shows the reviewer does not even understand the physics involved in proper dampening.
If he had mentioned stuff about rebound and compression it would have been informative but excuse me that's probably just asking to much.

Though do I diverge by getting to technical for you?

Fact is the average person would still not get much out of the review, is not even in depth. He compares them to stock suspension, worn out stock suspension at that! He says they feel hard. Wow great analysis there.
He says they feel great but then goes on the make the speed bump statement.

What is so great about something that cannot handle proper rebound and compression? Which is pretty much what his speed bump statement is saying but he does not even realize that.

You asked me to tear his review apart in not so many words so do not cry about this post.

The review needs to be informative for the sake of people reading the forum. In its current state it does not say much. In fact a person could go out a buy these and find out they suck. Why because his review did not have enough information to make an informed decision from.

Excuse me for wanting good stuff to be posted on the forum that can actually help people.
