godspeed coilovers

[0displacement]

ok. so i got a set from "whitecoupe" on here, said they were brand new so im basing them on a "brand new" base, also i have ridden in vehicles with springs and one miata on coils. so i havent been able to compare them to many other setups personally. ill try to get a couple people to drive it in the near future and update with their opinions.

went on like any other coilovers, easy to adjust ride height.

the valving is kinda iffy, not sure if its from factory like that or if its from them being owned by some one previously. it does work, its just hard to tell what "notch" its set at.

the paint on them is kind of cheap, chipped off on a couple places wile i was installing them. its not super cheap, its just not top of the line.

the ride isnt "horrible" imo, its not a set of konis with ground controls, nor are they $1800 coilovers. you dont have the super bouncy feeling or the insanely rough feeling, like i said, they just aren't a high money product.

you get what you pay for, if your willing to settle for moderate grade lowering for roughly 700$ then these will work fine for you.

on a budget and feeling needy for coilovers? try them out, i think they are worth it. if your picky... idk.

oh, and they go pretty low, i dont think i can max them out with stock wheels/tires. i still have about 4 inches under my frame, and i know i can go at least 2.5 - 3 lower. pretty sure u dont want to go any lower than that.

if you have any Q, just post them up.

sounds great! did you get the SS or RS version??

[Timmy22]

Haha i posted a thread a while back about these lol. i was alittle sceptic of them tho. How are they on stiffness?

[BigJack]

Did you preset the upper spring? I didn't with my Megans and they were bouncy, then I preloaded them because everyone said to and they feel a lot better now.

i dont have any idea about the version of the coils>.< i didnt get them from the manu. but he told me he paid 700ish for them. so w/e ones cost about 700 haha.

they are stiff, but not ricer civic stiff, i dont have the 5 bounce per bump thing going on, but i do get 1. i also have some no name 60 series tires that came on the car right now. looking to ditch them when i can offord it, and im sure they have a lot of play in how the car is overall riding right now.

i have the perches compressing the spring about 1 inch in the back, and .5 up front right now.

[Timmy22]

Sweet man thanks for the info

[BigJack]

Oh ok. My Megans have been on 1 hardness for about a month now. It doesn't bother me. Although it is very hard to keep the gas steady when you feel every bump. Mine don't bounce at all, you just go over the bump and that's it. I like it.

[Keith]

oh ok, i guess you got the RS version

[Timmy22]

^ whats the difference between the rs and the ss?

[Keith]

lol price and adjustabilty

[Timmy22]

ah ok gotcha. which is better?
