turst me man you dont want r1s, save some more money, and do yourself and your car a favor and get something better.like groundcontrol or something. I had r2s in my car and they are so ****.

I agree, brand names costs more, but you pay for what you get. Suspension components are very import and should not be compromise. Your car's handling depends on then being good and last a long time.

why not buy good (maybe used) springs for under $300 and spend the rest on some nice bushings till you can afford better performance shocks too.

POSSERACINGJOHN

then what are some good coilovers that i can get for a decent price?

EL_Sport

In term of coilover sleeves, pay a bit more and get yourself a set of Skunk2 or Ground Control. If these are too much, than just get a set of lowering springs (ie. H&R , Eibach, etc.). I would also suggest you change your shocks at the same time.

POSSERACINGJOHN

how much do ground control go for?

EL_Sport

Not sure offhand, try calling Speedtech at (416) 335-8388 or check with some other local shops.

I paid $600 for mine buying in the states and shipping cuz at the time no one in CDN carried GC. I sold them for $350 a year later in MINT shape

POSSERACINGJOHN

Dont go with R1s my friend had them and he wasn't at all happy with them. He later traded them for Eibachs. But ya if you have to get coilovers go with either GC or Skunks. I got my Skunks for $550 and Im sure GC sell for about $100 more.

imported_Joker

is worth it to go with GC coils for 600+? WHy not just get some good springs and then shocks can wait a bit. GC's seize up and so do R1's. Why exactly was your friend not happy with them. The problem with springs is that once you buy them, your stuck at that height cant go lower. other way around with coils but u sacrifice ride quality.

bbarbulo- What do u think of used tanabe full coilovers for 800 cdn?

imported_EG4door

Haven't heard of GC seizing up before, guess it depends on how you take care of it, especially winter season. Reason why my buddy wasn't happy was cause ride sucked *** it was so stiff, and it was making so much noise.
