My friend has them on his Integra. They're pretty good, not bouncy and it doesn't bottom out too much even on stock shocks.
Oh ya BTW he riding on 17's.


I should have bought them

R1's will bounce out of the pirch so if you don't mind a little clunk then get them

I think that happens with most coilovers... Not necessarily cause they're R1.

well i drove a 92 civic dx with those coilovers and it felt like how it was before he installed them, you couldn't even notice the difference. plus i may need them for the winter b/c my winterbeater is going to costing me to much to put on the road so i have to get them, plus i don't like the drop the eibach's gave it at all if you see it you'll realizze why i want them out

you wana buy a set of skunk coilies?

i don't think i can afford them right now b/c i just got my insurance bill and i don't even have enough to pay that yet plus my 2 recent tickets i have to pay, so rightnow im kind of in a huge hole. but ill let you know, thanx

I got R1 Coilovers on my car....
I had my car really slammed when I first got them, some rubbing when you turn the wheels all the way, wasn't that bouncy, more stiff, but really hurt when you hit a pot hole.
Winter came around, I got them raised and its been pretty much the same height ever since, (except i Lowered the back a tad bit) Now I find its a lil more bouncy then before, but I like the height I have it at, no rubbing, and no cops harrassing me. Less tire wear as well, went through my old tires like no tmr when the car was slammed. The R1's overall are decent if you want something that you can adjust and ride is decent. Still need some new struts tho. If I'm ever at a meet, you can come for a ride to get the feel.

thanx alot, ill be at the next meet ill try to find you, give me some details of your car, thanx

R1 Coilovers are on sale for $199 at Automotive Warehouse in Niagra Falls... Saw them the other day when I was there looking for springs. The guy kept on saying they are good and wanted to rush me into buying them. I told him I've never heard of R1 before and I don't want to buy things I haven't heard of before. He said they were good, not too bouncy so I dunno... do you guys think a good price at $199 for R1s?

imported_My Blue Si

yep its not bad, its the same price at a shop nearby my place in woodbridge and they sell there performance parts at a very costly price, so im not too sure yet ive gotta ask around on prices for those coils but $200 sound pretty reasonable
