uh o hear we go..

Your not going to get much of a response with these coils,(even though no one has used them they are going to say they are trash) everyone is going to want you to spend 1000-1600 for coils.

Godspeed coils do not slam. There is a thread around NICO with pics of how low they low and it's not very low compared to stuff like PBM, Stance or KTS ultra lows. I would post pics but I'm at work and they block photobucket here...

You're just gonna have to search.

Reminds me when I was in middle school and everyone was into yoyos.... it started off with the OG yoyos having 2 brains, then all these other yoyos came out of nowhere with 6 brains!

They go low, all you have to do is cut the spring.

they are not a bad entry coilover and are deff not tire tucking material...

with collars removed the tire just starts to tuck...

im switching over to bc's this spring and godspeeds will really only last a good year before they start to get bouncy...

save your money bro

Just for reference, I'm on Megan streets and the fronts are maxed with all collars on, and the rear has a little under 1/2 an inch to go lower.

honestly what you buy is what "you" buy. Most people on here want quality over price so Max power Stance etc etc. If ou are in a money crisis now and want to go low asap, i say cut your springs and save for something more reliable. But thats my opinnion, don't just go out and buy em cuz i said so. Im currently on Stance GR+ and im tuckin hella tire n rim on 17" rims and was lower the first time (diff on floor >.<). Just remember, your going to be driving it daily so dont complain when the ride quality is s*** and everytime there is a speedbump you curse every inch it scraped the bottom of your car. Just my $0.02 :D
