Anyone runnin Ebay Coilovers?

[Silent Drifter]

I was just wondering if anyone has these on? Also how they like em. I ordered a pair but my friend put em on his civic an all the way up his cars slammed but he said it handles awesome cause they have high spring rates. Ill probally put em on my car for fun just wanted to see if anyone else has.

ebay coilovers? what kind? the coilovers on ebay run from real cheap to real expensive...?

Last time I checked ebay didn't make coilovers. What you are reffering to are the generic coilovers sets they carry. As for the coilovers search, this has been mentioned millions of times. BTW, usually you get what you pay for, however my buddy has some OBX's on his civic and it's dropped and handles great.

Meh, they'll be okay for now. I mean they're not Tein's or anything. Have fun until they go though dude, more power to you.

You should've asked before you bought em. I've had them on my car for almost 5 months now. I must say it's definitely the crappiest application for the 240 out there. Don't even bother installing them because I guarantee they will f**k your suspension up. I know someone who bought the same coilover springs for his 89 Honda Civic soon after I put mine on. They worked great for his car or Honda's in general because they don't weigh as much as the 240. The springs are extremely soft which causes the rear end to bounce like it was doing a wheelie hop...

I blew my rear shocks right after I took my car for a test drive. The front struts are okay except it's kinda hard to steer no matter how many times I seat the springs properly. Occasionally, you'll hear some weird clanky noise when you turn the steering wheel. The reason why I say the springs are too soft is because I replaced the rear shocks with brand new GR-2s and my car still bounced like a motherf***er. You would have to raise the springs +5 inches to get rid of the bounce. Hahaha.. I did that when I first put the GR-2's on and my car looked real funny. Anyway, my friend gave me his stock rear shocks with springs so my car is kind of okay now. I still have the front coilover springs though. The front struts with 166k+ miles have yet to give out on me.

I can't stress how many times I've almost gotten into accident because of the crappy springs. If you must install them out of curiosity then do so, but prepare to put your stock ones back on. I wanted to go back to stock but no auto store in my area had a spring compressor in stock.

yea ill hafta put em on for fun. How low did you get the 240?

[stillmatic]

Not low enough. You'll have to take out the adjustable perches to set the spring as low as possible.
