Just the other day my friends s14 hit a tree. The lower mounting point that holds to the rear knuckle had broken. All I said to him you get what you pay for. $300 for coils, and $2000 to repair quarter panel and other suspension arms that got bent, cuz the car's rear quarter panel smacked right into a tree

$300 is nothing.. Lowering springs cost half that. If you don't track your car then I see nothing wrong with it..

Sleepiedaze · 06-01-2011, 02:02 PM

your probably never going to track your car, or do anything besides sit in a parking lot and have your car slammed to the ground so i say get them.

also ive bought there turbo kit and one thing is for sure CXRacing is full of crappy and shitty products.

"do it right, or do it twice"

Idk what to say to this, yes I'm pretty new to the 240 world but I know not to buy some garbage china made aluminum/plastic coilovers. I'm not flaming by any means it's your car do what you want.

But when something snaps when you take a corner, or something bends and you hit a wall or a tree all because you cheaped out on something that's bad anyways it's on you.

Think of it like this, you have 300$ if not a little more now, okay a month from now you'll prolly have double. Why not just wait 1-2 more months and buy some quality coil overs or atleat something with reviews for 1-1500.

I saved for 4 months to buy my coils and yeah there not the best you can buy but there good quality, go low, 36way, ext. Just save man, like said above buy quality if you buy eBay most likely you'll be buying again in the near future to replace what eBay broke. Everything I've seen on there, it either breaks or it causes something else to break on the car within months.

If your unemplyed, the price is right and I'd say yes, and slowly gain trust in them. However, they are still pretty stiff. Im willing to bet this will wear the damper sooner, and ride bad. if the brand Hishiriya's friend had is the same, then no.

If you have cash flow, I'd save and get ksports. People are going to bash them too, but take it from me, Ive had ksport's on my mazda protege sedan for 3yrs daily driven and still going.

Leetfade · 06-03-2011, 11:26 AM

What I haven't seen out of this thread yet is the simple question, what are you using them for? Are you tracking, DDing, do you race at all, etc...

12/10 is crazy stiff for DD imo. If you want a cheap alternative to lower your DD, just look into springs. You won't get as low but it's a better inexpensive option then putting sub par coils on your car.

Suspension is so much more important than anyone gives it credit for. Ultimately, it's your car and your money. I have 0 experience with CXRacing so I can't really say one way or another on this specific coil but it sounds like they tend to cut some corners (solely based on some others replies in here) and suspension is not a place to cut corners.

If you do any drifting, AutoX, drag, or even just like the spirited driving I would probably do as some others suggested and save up for a set of Fortune Auto or Stance; probably the best two in the 1k price point. If you just DD and keep your foot out of the gas and just want to go lower, see if there is a spring option that suits you (but you, most likely, won't be truly happy with this because it's static. It is an option, though).

Cx racing= pbm max??? If not, provide statistical and factual data to reject the hypothesis... You can not use photos of broken pieces ... Y? If we were Yo use "six sigma" a statistical definition of a process that is 99.9997 capable of 3.4 defects per million opportunities.... I will use it in such way,For example, let's assume cx racing sells more. Why? Because they have parts for all types of different makes and vehicles vs say pbm or a comparable company Which targets a more specific market. So cx racing sells 1 million pieces it is expected that 3.4 defects will occur ( the one's everyone sees online which have "failed") But since they sell more its expected to have a higher defect ratio also. pbm and other companies should have the same outcome... But since they sell less the defects "should" be Lower...

Nothing against any company just saying....

Leetfade · 06-03-2011, 12:00 PM

While I can appreciate trying to apply Six Sigma logic to this (I'm certified myself), I don't think you presented it in a very clear way. :lol:

You are accurate that the problems are going to be the ones everyone reports, that's just how it is.

s13 @ fullboost · 06-03-2011, 12:54 PM

You mean these are not legit ?? but they have been tested with salt spray only the best of the best pass the salt spray test!! lol

TheRealSy90 · 06-03-2011, 08:52 PM
