if u know sleeves brake why would u wanna slide on them?? u can get used jdm coilovers from places like jpr for bout 4bills for a setshould be good once then when u get money rebuild them u will havenew coilsu need to learn car control so it wont whip u back

[bikerskater]

alright cool i didnt they had some that cheap ya im still working on the controling part like i have down now to where i can feel it try and whip but doesnt

Such a clean car. Nice wheels, excellent body, and sylvia front, but you don't have the money for coilovers?

Looks before performance?

If body roll is your problem, sway bars should be first on your wish list

[bikerskater]

well i bought the car that way :/ im not usally the one for looks before performance and i have upgraded sway bars whiteline springs and kyb shocks

I assume you just have KYB GR2s? If that's the case, they are not valved to handle any real spring and they definitely can't handle being lowered.

What size sway bars do you have?I am currently running GR2s with Eibach springs. Not a very aggressive setup, but the Tanabe sway bars more than handle any cornering loads I put on them.

Unless you get Ground Controls with a spring that matches your current shocks, just save up for the good stuff

well i cant really tell whats in the front it might be stock but i have a tanabe one in the back i believe and a nismo power brace tein inners and outers if that has anything to with anything now the gorund control ones are they 400 for one or all 4? cause it didnt really say

[Cone Junky]

$400 should be for the whole set. The good thing is that when you order from them, they ask what kind of driving you do and the struts they are going on. That way they can reasonably match the spring rate.

Of course that is $400 (plus labor) that you could put towards coilovers.

Ebay is an unknown spring rate with a known quality (crap).

[bikerskater]

well how much are the cheapest name brand or ok coilovers cause i heard that megan tracks are like 800 but i went on there website and the cheapest ones i found were 1056 or something

[LayNLow240]

Stance basic coilovers are 900ish, I would go with them over megan.

[bikerskater]

do you know how much of a drop cause my friends megans make his car sit 1 in off the ground

[LayNLow240]

Stance's can go as low as you want. See my sig? i still have about 2.5 inches left in thread to lower if i wanted to. then after that i can get another almost an inch from taking the collars out. But i am riding on Stance GR+'s. Stance is great quality.

[adrianfromthecastle]

if you want sleeves, I'd recommend going ground control w/ koni shocks... but then again, for the price of that set up, you can almost get a set of stances (which btw come with 2 different spring set ups).

also keep in mind, that with out the proper arms, over lowering your ride hurts your handling
