I will be a guinea pig v.bought some new coilovers

[sommmatt]

Theres a major difference.Buying Sportmaxes, although still weak,i dont frown upon at all.BECAUSE, putting sportmaxes on your car will not affect nor deter from your cars performance or safety. Whatever, itll always be Price before Quality for most of you guys.Only in this country.

You know, the guy is doing us a favor more than anything, and you're bitching about it. Take your elitism somewhere else. Not everyone has the money to buy the best.

oh thats right, NEVER D* ... you seem to take allota stabs at people ON nico, and say how retarded someone is for buying this or doing that.

this guys willing to take a leap into the dark and tell us what he finds.. You, what the hell have you done for nico, besides whore pics of your bucket, and criticize the way someone builds THEIR car, or spends THEIR money ? .

[D*star]

WTF. I dont whore pics of my ****. Most of the time when people ask i dont even show pics. Dude, you guys get all pissy and stuff because i share my opinion, i share as much good opinions as bad ones, but all you guys see is the bad ones. Someone has gotta say that ****. What i find funny is how most of the time you guys read past the facts and stuff, and try to continue the arguments on insults alone.

SO, like i said.Theres a major difference.Buying Sportmaxes, although still weak,i dont frown upon at all.BECAUSE, putting sportmaxes on your car will not affect nor deter from your cars performance or safety.

yeah, but when its bad, ITS BAD, honestly, do you really need to go around calling people broke or poor, or retarded ..?

[Edit]

this is a good example of how it should be ....

Your cars hella clean and i love all your ballin *** ****. But i hate to say you could have done way better on those offsets man.

Not some of the other crap that you spit out.

And when i said Bucket, i was actually thinking of all your other pics you used to post .... yeah, bucket, maybe not now, but i was abit mad when i posted that.

[yokota180sx]

yeah thats deff a bad choice man

[deuceforty]

yeah thats deff a bad choice man

i asked for a refund after finding out they WERENT the footwerks ones... they look to me like shocks with a pillowball top mount and the overcoil thing that ground control makes... not a solid unit...

[Clawhammer]

Good luck getting your money back.

[homeslicej2]

hope you get your $$ back.

alright, you guys MUST be disregarding my posts.

These coilovers ARE SOLID.

I have had them for over 4 months now for sure, probably more (actually i KNOW more) The ride is pretty rough even on the lowest setting, but you do get used to it. I love the handling i get with these on the harder settings, I have NO PROBLEMS there and they would probably be perfect for someone who wants to track is on a budget.

They are very stiff though, and not good for your daily driver.heres some more pictures of them.dirty as piss. i hate having a gravel driveway and on my vehicle while i wait on getting wheels because i chose turbo > wheels.

[bone_stock_240]

for some reason, theres something that just looks wrong with this picture.... cant really put my finger on it, but something just doesnt look right... and its not the lack of pre-load adj (btw, footwerks has pre-load adjustment, these pictured below dont)...

They just look ridiculously flimsy, and jacked up in that picture. I don't know, suspension is too crucial a part to buy super cheap and untested. I would rather buy a used high quality suspension, if I had to, or .... now this is going to be shocking ..... ride on stock suspension until I saved up enough for a good quality new set. I know ... I am crazy. Stock anything is a fate worse than death.

hahaha...

kay... heres what looks weird to me I guess..dust boot only goes half way up,helper springs on all 4 instead of just rears, plus helper spring on the top of main coil springs? wtf?

[redtop91]

Save $200 and get Megan. But good luck with getting your money back

[bone_stock_240]

Yeah, noticed that too. They just look like a poor imitation of coilovers. They have aspects of what good coilovers should have, just done totally wrong.

[deuceforty]

paypal refunded the money directly to my credit card. the guy had no problems, and honestly seemed to have a good grasp on how the suspension works

[E7-S14]

im sorry about the problems man.. glad you got things worked out

buy the Megans and call it a day..you wont be disappointed

or buy Stance Basics or powered By Max.. which has been getting a good rep so far.all within the same price range. all of those..

[masterteque]

I have had the footwerks coilovers for a year and a half now and they have been incredible. I got them for $650.00 so I couldn't pass it up....I feel that they are as good of quality as the Megans....They are solid, fully adjustable with plenty of dampening adjustment and camber adj/pillow ball. I feel they are great DD springs or great track springs.....

[adrenalineMOTORWERKS]

alright everybody, I just wanted to stop in and clear things up a little. In no way shape or form are these footwerks coilovers. I have replied to several e-mails and indicated clearly that these were our coilovers. We purchase these through a separate manufacturer. The intent behind these are to provide a reasonably priced suspension upgrade for the novice drifter. We are trying to bring quality performance products to the market at an affordable price. Please don’t associate a good price with a cheap product just because we have all been forced to pay a certain price for a similar product.

By no means do we feel that these are as beefy as some of the coilovers on the market. We do however feel that they are a great match for their intended purpose. Buy them, beat the living s*** out of them, let us know when and if they break and we will fix or replace them. We have not come up with a set plan on the replacement process, but will be finalizing the plan sometime mid next month. Let’s face it, In a speedway you are surrounded by walls. It is inevitable that your car and that wall will meet and do the tango. Now imagine having to buy a whole new set of coilovers or sourcing one that is the same, to replace what you just broke. Instead just contact us and have a replacement next day shipped so that your down time is minimal. This is our goal at adrenalineMOTORWERKS.

Please feel free to stop by our website and look around. http://www.adrenalinemotorwerks.com. Forgive the lack of content at this time, as we are continuously adding to the website.

Deuceforty- You could have told me the real reason for canceling. It would not have effected the outcome. We are very customer service orientated and will do anything to help. Please follow through on your end so that we may have a refund for our listing fee. Feel free to contact me with any questions. [email protected]

Whyteboy- you have probably already realized this but we do not offer ruca’s, not yet atleast. Look for them mid to the end of next month.

[adrianfromthecastle]

^^ wow, small world, LOL...

[yokota180sx]

I feel some props for the clarification is in order:Well, we can't expect you to sell $5000 coilovers for $500. But an honest seller with good communication is a good start. Keep it up, and slowly better your products and you will have a successful business here.

Keep up the good customer service!

no doubt about that.. honestly now i feel really bad.. to the point where i actually WANT to try them and see... damn what a catch 22

[Eikon]

Am I the only one who notices that people who've spent $1k or more on coilovers get a little snobbish and like to justify their investment by bashing any lower priced alternatives. When Megan first came out.. all we heard was what junk they were.. that's proven to be wrong.

Let's put your personal elitist bias aside for a while and look at this product for what it really is:

Does anyone think that these coilovers were meant to directly compete with the top of the line $1k to $2k or more setups?

Rather.. what if you were to consider this as an entry level to the coilover setup.. more than that.. how about a direct improvement for aftermarket seperate shock and spring setups..

I've got KYB AGX with Eibach Sportline springs.. In my opinion.. about the best independent setup you can get (though people may disagree on the sportlines). AGX's go for $350 on ebay, and any decent lowering springs go for $150 or more.

Instead of $500 for independent shocks/springs.. I'd much rather get a single adjustable entry level coilover setup from a supplier with great warranty and customer service.

AGX / sportline combo = $500+Megan Coilovers = $850+Group Buy on adrenalineMOTORWERKS coilovers = $500 plus shipping..

Seems like a pretty good buy to me!

[yokota180sx]

i would take an AGX/Groundcontrol setup over these things

[babowc]

lolD* makes me laugh.so.. slamming your car so you hardly have any ground clearance helps performance?

lolol, D* bishez about people buying cheap **** and bashes on them because they're doing it for looks, while he bought $1k+ coilovers to slam and camber his ride.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!Fkin hypocrit.GL going over a speed bump with your rediculous ride height.
