Hey fellas i'm new to coilovers and suspension so uhhh.. this might be a dumb question to some but i was wondering if i could install just the Fuzion (yellow) coilovers on my stock oem strut? here are the pics





I have understand the difference between the two but can i purchase the fuzion (yellow one's) and hook them up to my OEM suspension or do i have to buy the full Coilover kit? HELP! a retard and please be somewhat nice about it. thanks!

how much are those Fuzion sleeves?

Really, just like K-Sport and Tien are cheap version of high end coilover systems, there are cheap version of Ground Control setups as well. Megan and Skunk2 both make sleeve kits that are pretty cheap and work.

you can make coilovers on your own fairly easily (see this page)

however, if you are having to post to ask if its possible... you prolly don't have the skill needed... jus sayin'

stick to real coils

Yeah.And he got flamed hard.The difference between this guy, and the last one

Is the last guy bought the coilovers, and when they didnt fit/work he made a thread...after being told off multiple times he assured us they would work...so then the flaming began.

This guy is researching first....hopefully he wont make the mistake and buy these pseudo coilovers

Those, are for koni's.

Eibach, however, does have springs that will mate perfectly to an oem shock.
