If you want to buy shitty coils, I'll sell you a set of blown stock struts with eBay Civic springs and collars. They'll probably ride better. |

Update #nofuckinidea
Almost 3k on them now. I drove down to the keys last week, little less that 4 hour drive. Lots of bridges and fucked up roads. They rode pretty damn well. Never bottomed out or anything and it was reasonably comfortable. Shit my brother fell asleep half way there so that kinda says something lol. I'm actually starting to really like these. I'm sure most of you think i'm an idiot but these do ride and handle wayy fucking better than i expected. Whatever you want to think about them i really don't care. All i'm saying is i'm happy with my purchase and i wouldn't hessitate to suggest these to someone with a small budget. If you could find more expensive coils used and rebuild them it would obviously be a better option, but if you're set on new or really can't spend more than $500 then these are for you. I'll also say that when i get the money i will upgrade simply for the peace of mind, but i've yet to really push these so i don't know what they can handle yet |

Omg I'm totally gonna have to scrap up $45 and buy a set! Thank you for sharing with us that in Florida, you managed to drive on them for 4 hours and not suffer any long term liver damage or kidney failure.

I'm trying to do an honest review on these. There's no reason to treat me like some dickweed who just came on here like "zomg raceland owns all!!!11!" I never said they were better than anything else. If they rode like shit i would fucking say they rode like shit, i've got nothing to prove by lying.

You should post up some videos of pictures of this after a certain amount of time driving on them. You would've gotten less flaming responses.
Then again you posted this on Zilvia. This thread would've received a lot better responses on CR, they love Racelands and Megan EZstreets over there. |

Saying they are better then "blown stock shocks" is not saying anything. Thats like me saying "my Geo Metro is faster then a Corvette... with a blown block". Driving four hours and saying you didn't lose a kidney is meaningless. You also make a statement about Florida's roads... have you anything to compare them against? Have you ever even left the state of Florida? When people bitch about the roads in Florida, they are talking about the drivers, not the asphalt. Come to Chicago, where union corruption insures the roads are never finished being fixed from the annual rapage known as winter. Or go to Michigan, where the state is so poor that thousands of miles of roadway are being left to return to dirt roads. I'm sure you survived many a 4 hour trip with your "blown" suspension. Your $550 could have easily got you a set of Koni or KYB shocks/dampers and a set of quality lowering springs. Then you would have had a setup that would have actually improved the cars original handling capabilities while also being a quality part that can be relied on to last for years to come. |

I never said the roads are bad, but I drive through a few areas every day that are pretty ruff cause i work in an industrial area.
Guys, this is my first 240, not my first car, not my first modified suspension either. You're right in saying i can't compare it to other coilovers on the s13 though. You can show me all the things i could have bought, but i already have these so that doesn't change anything. I've driven from fl to ny and it all seemd pretty equal to me, but that was mostly highway. My whole family lives in ny and they have smoother roads than here. I expected to get a lot of flaming on this, so i don't really mind. Im happy with the coilovers so far. Hopefully people reading this can look past all the comments about how bad they are from people who don't even own them. My offer still stands. If you see me around i'll let you drive the car and you can't tell me what you think and compare them to what you've driven. |

You have 2 SE wheels painted blue, does that match those hawt coilovers?
Just get kyb agx. + gf210. Clicking on this thread is like seeing a link for "guy shoves his head into woman's vagina!" You just have to click on it and read everything, no matter how bad it all is. |

Thanks for the review! Im actually thinking of getting some of these for temperary use on my current project. Once my car is finished ill just slap on some better coils, so im guessing these cheap coils will last me till then!
Ignore all the d-bags, people just wanna hate and always will... |

Or is it a ".... one day I may finish my car, assuming I don't wreck it, trade it, loose interest, buy a house, knock a girl up.... then I'll have this crazy baller 240 with like a twin turbo skyline motor and like deep dish wheels....and awesome coilovers" ??? As said 1, 000 times. Springs + premium shocks. Is it really about just being able to tell your friends "yo bro I got coilovers!" ?? Why the adversion to "doing it right"? |

Anyway, he is actually correct. for you to properly review something, you have to have experience with more than just one or two other options. The only thing this review thread is good for is to tell us whether or not they fail prematurely. Shit, I wouldn't even trust myself to review coilovers because I have only had one pair (the same pair) since 2009.

I dont understand why you guys are knocking on him because the coils are cheap as fuck. Not everyone can or wants to spend 1000 bucks on some coils when they can spend half that on a cheaper brand. Not everyone is made of money like you. The OP also stated that he HAS had experience with coils before. Its not that hard to tell how low quality your coils are... |

My buddy lives in Fort myers we went to the Formula D event in west palm just recently and drove his slammed miata there and let me tell you was like riding on glass the whole way. Even all over west palm where we stayed was nice. I love florida for the fact of the roads and non rotted cars Far as your "review" goes is more of a outlook on how they work for you. There is alot of crying in here but thats accustom to buying cheap parts. I've seen builds of guys making 10 sec v8 swaps on $400 turbos and last more than a season. Does it make it right? That's the owners opinion. |

There was a local here in texas that had the same thing happen but with stance coils... Ive also had one tien blow on me after only 1 year, and megans go to shit after 5 months.
Things like that happen with any brand. I bet that guy hit a curb or something... |

Failed JIC D2 coils It doesnt matter what brand you buy, cheap or expensive, they all break just as easy... So its pretty pointless to talk shit about someone writing a review on "cheap" coilovers. |

fyi, if you die in an accident because your suspension broke, the warranty would be useless. Or just get hurt, not really worth the $500.

All im trying to say is its pointless to talk shit to this guy because the coils are super cheap. As I mentioned before, some people can barely afford to spend 500 bucks on coils let alone 1000+.
If you jump a curb or run over shit your coils most likely will break/blow/fail no matter what brand they are or how much they cost you. Its pointless to sit here and nit pick over stuff like because one person broke their shit. The OP wanted to write his review on these coils and let everyone know how the quality is and whatnot. Let him do that. I can sit here all day and show you guys how named brand coils also fail. And if you guys don’t like cheap shit just move along and let others who want/have to buy this "shit" use this review. No need to lecture everyone over cheap stuff VS name brand shit... Quote:

this is more like a diary bro,
no review, no hard driving. might as well get some race land coilovers on my moms sante fe and daily drive on them. Than I will write a shit review on my experiences like how I wacked off my brother while he was sleeping....because I can't drive for shit so I wont write a review about the actual purpose of this product, rather a cruise around town. daily driving review, for coilovers? r-really bruh? Here's my review: If suspension is that questionable where you have to say its really not that bad to drive AROUND TOWN in, you & your car equally suck massive corn hole. I read the entire thread, and learned absolutely nothing. I actually got more dumb. See I cant even write correct grammar anymore. & I dont even like to troll... ok yes I do. |
