Does anyone know what these cheap coil overs are like on ebay?

Hey guys,

Has anyone used these coilovers before?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/24-Ways-Adj-Coilover-Coilovers-for-Nissan-Skyline-R32-HCR32-GTST-RB20DET-SALE-/272483072447?fits=Model%3ASkyline|Plat_Gen%3AR32&hash=item3f7141b9bf:g:I-QAAOSw2xRYdzI8

I know they are cheap but I'm thinking of giving them ago for shits and giggles.

No, I'm in Melbourne, plenty of guys your way. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. You asked a question and don't like the answers you're getting. That's fine, it's not the first or last time that's going to happen. Go buy them and then let us know how good or crap they are. You may want to compare them to good oem shocks rather than the flogged out stuff you have now.

Following topic for results and review.

No one is answering me though apart from "don't get them they will be shit" i don't want an opinion i want feedback. Guys they are under $400 i get it they will be not the best but have you at least tried them for some constructive feed back?

wow!! i thought the bc-br coilovers were cheap lol $400 for a full set of coilovers just doesn't sound right but if you do decide to get them, let everyone know how they go and if they're worth it. on the plus side they come with a warranty :)

I've seen what happens to cheap coilovers way above this price point (broken inserts and clickers that do nothing, blown seals, knocks etc), so it's very unlikely these will be much better.

I'm happy to be proven wrong but don't you think if these where any good, people would have caught on, bought them and be giving you glowing reviews right now like some other China parts.

Anyway I'm looking forward to your progress and review of these. Good luck[emoji106]

Of course no-one has tried them. At that price they have to be crap. It doesn't matter what your lap time is if they break and you smash up your car and possibly yourself. I have seen cheap units (D2s) on a car break after two days use. I wouldn't take the risk.

The age old saying " u get what u pay for " springs to mind
Cheap prices usually mean cheap inferior materials and poor build quality
I'd hate to see a coilover break while flying around a track

- Adjustable ride height
- Adjustable pre-load spring tension
- 24 levels of adjustable damper -- This allows you the ability to perfectly dial in your coilovers system.
- Pillow ball top mount -- this design helps combat noise while tuning. It also improves the steering feel and response
- All inserts come with fitted rubber boots to protect the damper and keep clean.
- Improve your handling performance without sacrifice comfortable ride.
- A fast and affordable way to easily upgrade your car's appearance.
- Easy installation with right tools.
- Ideal for any track, drift and fast road and can also be used for daily driving.
- Most components are made from 6063 aluminum with T6 for increased hardness -- the advantages include excellent strength, and aluminum helps keep the weight down.  
- Hi tensile performance spring - Under 600,000 times continuously test, the spring distortion is less than 0.04%. Plus, the special surface treatment is to improve the durability and performance.

Yum!!!  And no noise when tuning!!!

This is it. I'd be surprised if you get too many people on here who have bothered using coilovers that cheap and nasty. It might be at the track but you can still crash and kill/damage other stuff around you. Maybe not track your car with cut springs and fkd shocks either; racing is not a cheap sport, for good reason.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
