Not really....

Maybe for ride height adjustment, but not for ride quality.

I gaurantee these are SHIT.

[hotrodv]

so anyone yet used those coil? i'm looking for something for the daily and don't want spend too much, but also don't want too shitty ride quality..advice?

[sunnys14]

they look exactly like megans and ksports, i cant tell the difference besides the colors

[RINTHAL]

I think i'm gonna pick theses up for my MX83, Since they dont make coilovers for the cressida i'm gonna mod theses up. Cheap and 1 Yr warranty is all I care about because my shocks are blown anyways. I will post on how the feel....

Endless...Moonface...shock and strut setup...

[PoorMans180SX]

This thread is still alive?

Do people seriously think these are worth money?

At the very least get Stance/KTS/Tein. Why support more Taiwanese knockoffs?

By now everyone should know that a Koni/GC setup will be the best for ride quality without spending lots of cash. You just have to put a little more work and time into it. Do it the right way.

[GabeS14]

1 year warranty?? only 450 on ebay...
their distributor is only 20 miles away???
yes i think they are worth the money..
i will be buying a set for my s14..
i know people that have the megans on they fully built s14 s worth over 20grand...
we need to stop the hate for cheap products..its like brainwash. go by personal or know experiences not by price...jesus christ...
make your own decisions...
its not "cool" to pay for overpiced products...
i will defenitly post reviews as soon as they are installed...
i dont care if they are copy/knock offs//or up/undergardes of another more famous part... if they do anything similar and cost a 3rd of the price they are worth it... if your are a serious competitor who beats up your car for 4 hrs a day..then you might wanna spend the extra money and get a huge name brand if you are not then go with what you can easily afford!

[Twinchy]

I agree with Gabe ..i think i might purchase these coilovers too.. cuz my shocks are pretty much done on my car right now and my RSR springs dont give me that good of a drop anyways.. i only dd my car anways nothing else really

Not to rain on your parade but you talked about valuing the warranty and modding them. If you mod them you are also voiding your warranty. GUARANTEE it. It also states that to claim something under warranty they must have been installed by a professional tuning shop. I dont know about you guys but I would be installing these myself so the warranty is a moot point anyhow.

[PoorMans180SX]

Edit: never mind then, do what you want.

Think before you post.

[PoorMans180SX]

Bleh, whatever. I'm tired of trying to convince people. Edited above post.

[Rockogtr]

I think I might give them a shot on my project car... I'll also make a review when I get them in,may not be for a little bit...till all the salt is off the road, I'll be useing them for a daily/weekend warrior

[jussjepbrox]

ill try em im on a budget ive went from cut springs to JIC coils to shock n spring to STANCE Pros been drifting for a while if these get me sideways with not alot of body roll im happy
ill let you know how they feel ill be the test dummy if they break oh well buy sum new ones

LOL YOUR TOTALLY RIGHT! I had to re-read what i said, oh well cheap solution for now as long as it gives me some track time some with no or little body roll and a semi decent drop whatever, i will just wait until theses blow. Either this or buy used s13 coilovers off of ebay that are probally leaking for the cressida i have no other choice GC sucks for heavyier cars and their is next to no aftermarket in shocks or springs in the states and rare to get from japan for my car. oh well expect an review write up on these next month from me as a DD and weekend events

[Bobafreak]

There doing group buys on this actually. 70.00 off the 499.99 cost(height adjustable and has the pillow mount.). I dont know but you cant beat that. They also are the same manufactures of megan and apexi emotors actually purchases off of godspeed to let you know as well Since i heard it brought up.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Cheap parts for cheap cars driven by cheap people.

If you want performance, you'll go elsewhere.

This isn't the future, where technology costs nothing. This is the present, where good performance products still cost good amounts of money. Unless you're willing to pony up that money, you're not going to get a competitive product. Hell, you're not going to get a decent product. You're not entitled to anything by these companies, and they sure as hell aren't making all these cheap suspension parts as a favor to the S-chassis community.

We need to continue the hate for cheap products. Do they bring performance to the hands of many? Not really, no. They bring a semblance of performance, mostly adjustability, to people who can't tell the difference. If you guys want to continue to buy absolute junk and pretend that it's the best stuff ever, feel free. I'll just continue to tell you guys you bought a gilded turd, and some of you will realize it and look back with disdain at your own stupidity.

freddy bov's, ebay intercoolers, meagan, ksports, they all work. these cars are wayyyy to old to spend 2000 on wheels and 2500 on suspension to ride around town in. viva los cheapo parts!!!!

[fliprayzin240sx]

If Megans have a tendency to start feeling spongy after a year or so, I wonder how long itll take before these start feeling like sagging ass too...but hey if theyre from the same company who manufacture MRs, thats great.

I like these better...

[PuffinPuffer]

not bad of a price, i wanna know how long they last

You paid $5000? You have 3-way adjustables?

Because they're only $2600 for single-adjustable ones.

+1 for Flipsprayin' ! Let me know how they are will you?

[racepar1]

How the hell is this thread still alive? LET IT DIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

aragosta's is moneyzzzzz. they are good shit, but not everyone can afford that. make do with what you can. not everyone here is aiming to be orido.

that's not to say that good, quality parts aren't worth it or not good or etc, some people would just rather spend that money on food (i.e. things they need to survive). having a cool car is relative to the owner. if these make it look cool to them, whatever. we don't all make bank for HKS, trust, blitz, etc etc, and i for one don't knock a man for what he does to feed his family. do what you can afford to do.

Cheap *cough* KBB price for a used S13 is $1500-2000 in Washington with 150k on the odometer. S14 $4800-7000. My fish tank was $1500; thats right a fresh water house for fucking fishes. Seems like you don't understand exported labor. Sure Godspeed coils 'may' be crap but compared to $5000 Penskes; for some its worth it. Most of us only verbalize our desire and big hopes to hit an autocross or circuit track so are these high dollar parts worth it? Parts for cars are relative to the cars price. ECU tune for EVO $800, E/DE $200. Hamman Stage 3 engine kit for Ferrari $SIXDIGITS, Built KA/SR $10k if you cannot do the work yourself. I'm no expert but I'm willing to bet these Godspeed Coils cost $100-200 from raw metal to finished product, Penskes can't be much more.

You are an IDIOT! Shocks are one of the most important things on your car! Nobody is telling anyone that they HAVE to go out and spend a crapload of money on some pro-spec penskes or ohlins. If all you're gunna do is daily drive then just get some TEIN flexes. Their bearings are top-notch the shocks work well and the fit/finish and quality control processes are top-notch as well. It is well worth the extra $600 or so you would have to spend. Also there is no excuse for not going out and participating in autocross/track events if you are interested in them. It is really not that expensive and there are racetracks and autocross events all over the place, and they are not that expensive to participate in.

[GabeS14]

i guess you can either go spend 400 bucks of godspeed, and have coilovers now, and if they really do get spongy after about one year, then you can just buy another set!!!!!!!!!
lol.. or maybe just save up money at that rate and buy some "real coils" 4 years later that cost 1600...lol

just pure hate for cheap products without any knowledge of them is pure fucking ignorance, fucking guys barely making 30k a year buying 3000 dolar suspension for a 500 dolar car.,.hey thats real fucking smart!
and most dont even track the cars...

SO fucking pay attention ...Do you see anyone in this thread saying hey I am a D1 driver ...do you think godspeed coils are the right ones for me?
no you dont so dont bring this talk about comparing these coils to $5000 dolar coils..
