#27776, "Full suspension kit????"


          

I was thinking about lowering my ride in the next 2-3 days n was thinking of getting visionautodynamics.com's coilover kit for the 95-99 eclipse.

the description of the product is as follows:

These coil overs are Designed to provide ride height adjustment from 0" to 4" inches by simply turning the adjusters up or down while maintaining a comfortable ride. Each coil over kits includes bump stops, adjustable cylinders, coil springs, cylinder locking keys and any other necessary hardware.

My questions are does this kit really have all the necessary hardware like it's says in the description? if it does great n if it doesn't shit. Also should I get it or get something else like eibach prokit?

Again I'm thinking of getting whatever in the next 2-3 days so fast replys will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Before someone jumps all over you for not searching let me tell you please don't buy these. Search coilovers and you'll find that these are not really coilovers, as one person stated before their "collar-overs".
Total Crap. If you want your car lowered, buy eibach, tein or similar, Buy a reputable name whatever you buy. Make sure you keep all your bumpstops and reinstall them with all the other original hardware and bushings, or buy new stuff from the dealer, whatever you do make sure it all goes back on, its there for a reason.

I agree with ^^^...you need to sit down and do some research on suspension products. don't waste your money on some cheap coilovers. use the search button and you will find all of the information you will ever need about what to lower your car with.

u will definitely be regretting coilovers if u buy them. besides, adjusting your ride height isnt that big of deal. if u want to be lower, buy lowering sprints and performance shocks. it isnt that expensive either so do yourself a favor and do it right the first time.

100% agreed.
I've had sleeve coilovers and they are horrible. I have NEX SS Full ($650) coilovers now that rode excellent. And i have a set of Ksport Full coilovers w/ adjustable dampening and ride height on the way($850). Look for a review from me some time next week.

DO NOT go with that kit or any SLEEVE coilover for that matter! Horrible ride and DANGEROUS!

Hi Chris how's the ride in Ksport Full coilover? I've been looking and searching for the right coilover. But I need someone who has it to find out if it is comfy to ride. I'm thinking to get one of these:
TEIN SS ($900), NEX SS ($660), or Ksport Full coilover ($740). I got those price from ebay with shipping. Let me know Chris!

Holy old post batman. Anyway. Tein will ride the best, K-sport next, then NEX. They ALL however will ride much better then a sleeve coilover but none of them can be described as a comfortable ride. If money is an issue, go with the K-sport or NEX. You can get brand new nex's on Ebay for around $550. ALSO. Check the Sale/wanted forum for the name HIPHOP. He should be selling a set of Tein basic dampers.
Good luck and props for searching for the right suspension. That always seems to be a department that is over-looked.
