#16574, "ebay coilovers... any probs with them?"




          

Hey, I bought a set of adjustable coilover springs on ebay a lil while ago... haven't put them on yet, but has anyone else used anything like these?

Seemed like a good price if they'll work... Oh, one other thing... can i use these with my stock struts/shocks (which do we have shocks/struts... i always forget the difference).. Thanx



Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?

When you lower your car at all, your going to blow your stock struts no matter what. Some people have theres longer than others, but they will blow. Might as well get sum good struts too, so you can install them all at once.

Depends on how much you wanna drop it. I have illumina's and i love them. They were 400 bucks.

You can check out some pics here of what my car looks like with H@R springs and illumina's. It sits nice.

You could go with some cheaper ones such as TOKICO Blues which are about 270-280, some KYB AGX's for about 340, or some KYB GR-2's for about 180-200. You may find them cheaper, but those prices are ball park.

The more you drop it, the better strut you will want.
