*Daily driver, I don't plan on taking it to the track anytime soon and yes I did try search and couldn't find a straight forward answer. *

Does anybody have any experience with these coilovers? Ride quality? On stock shocks? My '99 hatch only has about 103k right now on the stock shocks, would I be ok if I lowered it 2-2.25" MAX(initially I was going to just lower it 1.75" but I may want more later on) without any problems with camber wear, blowing my shocks, ride quality, etc.

The car is not going to go on the road for awhile maybe till next spring but if it does go on the road it will probably be like a 20-30min drive but for the meantime would I be ok just for the next couple of months so I can buy adjustable shocks and the camber kit?

Am I going to be able to commute around the city ok with that kind of a drop (2-2.25" MAX)?

Thanks,
Fred

Here's a pic of the drop I'm looking for, how many inches do you guys think that is?

my frien has them in ek ek all the way down...........rides pretty nice compared to other coilovers

sirhondalot

horrible ride quality...at that height...u will need shocks for sure , stock shocks.. .now way even brand new stock shocks will be bouncin with these coilovers

imported_zc_hatch

pple dis them cuz they spend alot more on coils. really they aren't bad. bouncy on stock shocks but so a re all coilovers. i have them
was dumped, but due to bottoming out i raised it some. just was outside playin wit the height of mine
good for $100, but get some adjustable shocks to make the most of coilovers

So no more than 1.75" drop and I should be fine with the, ride quality, camber wear, and shocks for the next couple of months until I get adjustable shocks?

i guess you will be ok with that drop but the lower u go the worse it is

take this into consideration...i went from coilovers springs for a reason ...ride quality

ahhh bad idea all round wtf are you thinking...jsut save for everythign then put it all one and do it right... dotn' waste your time and money

Mr. Death

At 1.75 inches you'll have negative camber for sure. Spend the extra cash and buy the pro kit by Eibach. The ride quality on stock shocks will not be that bad and minimal neg camber but in time you'll have to upgrade your struts.

If your just looking for a low drop, then why not. It's only $100 right? But if you value ride quality, drivability, and your OEM shocks, you shouldn't buy them. Spend the extra $100 or so and pick up a set of H&R Sports. They ride nice, look good and won't kill your shocks. My OEM shocks have over 100000k's on them and still ride fine.

from what i know its bad enough to have lowering springs on stock shocks...but sleeves are even worse

spracingsports

pro kit is where its at man.... drop is just what you want and the ride quality is smooth as stock

i wonder how those coilovers would run with illuminas

imported_Neiser

I was thinking about those coils also .... but probs going to end up with pro kit.

Definetly go with springs. I've gone both routes on this one and I found the ride sucks with coilovers when compared to springs.

imported_Neiser

^^ alrighty then .... sounds like springs are the way to go ...


wtf sig not working!

punkindrublic

i put them in today... for $99 a very good set up... i have illumina's so the bounce is non-existant... but i would garuntee they'll shred stock shocks in no time...

so get some good shocks and have a blast with em... if you get illuminas the whole set up would cost like $700... not to shabby i'd say
