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


Recommended Posts

Although i will add, bc's coming out of the same factory as greddy's does show you don't need to pay top $$, but consider minimum production cost for materials, manufacturing, engineering etc. They can only go so low before cutting corners.

Good news all you "Nay sayers" out there.

 

We gave these shitty cheap coil overs ago at SMP we cracked 1:54.98 on old ku31 kumhos in a r32 gtst with a stock unboosted rb20det.

 

So as suspected they are pretty good considering the cost. We couldn't tell much from soft to hard adjustment but meh its $400 i think that's a win!

What height do these coilovers run at? I am "sort of" always looking for nice tall suspension for shipping purposes. That is, change from low coilovers (yes they are at the top) to cheap tall suspension, then ship the car, once car is shipped change suspension back. 

If you have the specs for your new suspension I would love to see it.

so $400 sounds good upfront.... but when they fail youll pay another $400 for another set? so now $800 and your almost at the price point of something decent

Not to mention the things that would break from such a failure, a poor man pays twice.

 

to OP - you've asked for feedback on cheap coilovers, you have received such feedback, the general consensus is that they are shit, but the current situation you're in with cut springs is also of concern. 

I have a feeling you were hoping for answers such as "yeah they ok" they all right" but in reality they will cause you more headaches than they're worth.

Good advice here would be to take car of road till decent suspension components can be installed.

Cheers.

There's more to quality of a product than "coming out of the same factory" i.e. quality control. But if it's a simple re-labelling, then yeah :)

    • Hi Experts, My father’s car Mahindra Jeep CJ500 2.5L, 1986 model. Currently registered in Overseas.  Want to replace the engine in Overseas with Mahindra Bolero 2016 2.5 L turbo used engine ( not endorsing new engine number on Rego paper in Overseas. Then Importing to NSW. Is this car eligible for NSW registration if able to submit all compliance certificates?   Regars.
    • I know you said no amps in the boot, but there's enough space next to the battery for a pair of modern small foot print amps OR one small 6x channel amp. This is what I did over 6 years ago, used 2x marine amps (no decent 6x or 5x channel amps back then)
    • Pressure delta gauge is pure pron. No guessing, no excuses.
    • That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.
