godspeed coils what what

Post by **rob912** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 4:14 pm

I had a pair of tanabae's that were double the price but were really for the track and not the daily. I got rid of them and decided to go for something more streetable. Since i havent really seen or heard a decent review on these coils i decided what the hell and bought a pair. THESE ARE THE NEW GODSPEED COILS FOR 09 so ive herd with minor changes.

When i first looked at the coils they didnt look as bad as everyone usully says. The welds wernt great tubing looks to be bigger than on the previous rs coils and when compared to other brand names the looked similar to the size of silk road coils. There are only 16 levels of dampening and right now im right in the middle. SO FAR the coils are not bouncy but feel good in the turns and over minor bumps. Took about 3 hours to install and adjust and they are not maxed out yet(about another inch and a half left), i still need to get my fenders rolled.

The tests i hope to be putting the car through are drifting club loose hopefully i can make it out wednesday if i get my diff. Some minor auto xing and of course daily driving. Cant promise a good review over night so ill probably update once a week with pic and info.

COILS: (ill have to update tomorrow because i can find the rest of the pics)bottom collar BEFORE THE COILS:

Rob i swear you stole my car cuz my s13 is the same color and I think we may have the same adr's. Are yours 17s or 18s?

Thank god someones finally doing one..Doing some crazy drifting so I can see how these things handle if they're good pricevsperformance.

Post by **rob912** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 2:06 pm

coils were 550 shipped

and my rims are 18's

it doesnt look like i will make it out tomorrow to club loose so i have to wait another month

Sorry to burst your bubble, but coils will have no effect from one set to another on bumpsteer. Thats all in the setup/alignment/other parts.

Keep us updated, I might throw a set of these on my buddies car. He is my guinea pig.

OP, you need to get a freakin alignment. Your caster looks like its way out of whack.

What website did you get these off of? I'm interested in some affordable coilovers..are they better than Megan Racing? Thanks.

Post by **stone184** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:42 pm

Interested in seeing more pics of the coils themselves. Nice to see somebody actually installing them and letting us know what's up.

Post by **NismoDriver240** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:33 pm

OP, I salute you.

SWEET. PA 240 owners sucking balls again.

When they blow, I'm going to drive past you, on my coilovers, point, laugh, and scrape frame away.

Be a man.

PBM looks so beefy.

Post by **PhillyDaKid-S13** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 6:08 pm

Those PBMs do look husky as hell....but I am still interested in a proper review of the godspeeds. Philly and surrrounding areas ftw.

Post by **Drewster** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 11:04 pm

PBM's ftw

he's conducting an experiment, there is no need to s*** on his thread with your shameless plug of another product that you happen to stand by. take some of your own advice, be a man and show some respect.

rob, good luck with your review, maybe you can shut some of the naysayers up. if not, then at least you know that you helped a lot of other 240 owners from buying a sub-par product.

I've had my Godspeeds on my S13 for 6 months now and I've had no problems with them. I bought the fully adjustable ones. If you take off the helper springs, you can make the car even lower.

OP, lemme know if you experience any problems; so far I haven't had any.

Post by **AutoShadow** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 5:03 am

Where do you get these coilovers?

Post by **rob912** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 9:48 am

thanks for the support and kind words guys well most everyone...

im going to try and answer all you questions but forgive me if i miss any

AutoShadow / RedSubdivisions: Where do you get these coilovers?I got them from a shop up in quakertown PA that is sponsered by godspeed so they were a little cheaper. I think you can pick these up for about 600-650 shipped off of ebay.

FlatBlackIan:OP, you need to get a freakin alignment. Your caster looks like its way out of whack.YEA! my s&#t is very "out of whack" im waiting for my godspeed sway bars, tension rods and ruca's, then i will be going to rt tunning for corner balancing and alignment.

pandapants: But what do the actual coils look like?im glad you ask...frontRearits kinda hard to see but you get the idea ill get more measuerments and specs tomorrow i will also be driving to jersey for club loose tonight "to spectate" ill let you guys know tomorrow how the drive went...

Post by **Whitecar.** » Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:13 am

If they're not too bad I would like some. I'm not going pro, just need something better and lower than blown/bouncy/stock setup.
