Any 1 know anything about these??? also quick possible stupid question but if ive got good struts does it really matter the brand of coilovers??? thanx

D.T.P

Have never heard of them. Do you have any more specs on those? How big is the drop?

eastside416

have no idea about the specs there used 4 sale with little info im just waiting 2 hear back from the guy...love civics but know little so im learning as i go and sometimes the hard way
i really only need to change the front struts 4 safety and the mechanic told me 150 a piece for parts, i can do the job so ive been looking for used and found that i can get the whole lowering kit for the same price this guy would charge parts n labour

D.T.P

Hmm ill look around for some specs.
What car are these going on? I got some skunk2 lowering springs with what I believe stock struts are. I got the car with these. Used them for a week or two. Ride decent. If interested pm me.
Otherwise ill try to find some info on the springs you posted and ill report back.

D.T.P

so I looked around on google, and found nothing other than 1 thread on civic club a guy asking about spw coilover sleeves.
Now you created a 2nd thread about the same issue (for which there was no reason) and you said you have coilover sleeves, so I'm sure springs would be nicer. It would still matter whether you can or cannot run stock struts with these lowering springs because it may have a very high spring rate which would cause the suspension to be very stiff and uncomfortable and cause struts to blow out much much sooner than they should.
Imo if you don't have the $ to experiment with unknown name brand products just use something that has been tested and proven to work well. For example, eibach sportlines, tein s-tech, neuspeed sport, skunk2 springs.

the guy that has them says they ride nice, got them from the pacific mall and oh they have manroe struts (lifetime war) like i said im new at this...just want a hobby n this 1 seems 2 be the hardest....

D.T.P

Every seller will say they ride nice. Hell, even people with coilover sleeves say their cars ride nice, but that's because most people never been in a properly lowered car. Also depending on the drop and spring rate, the monroe struts may not work that well.

well i got a decent price and picked them up, i'll keep u updated on how they work, worst case ill sell them and get my money back..............

Yeah, more important then the brand or make of the springs is the spring rate and how well matched the dampers are to those spring rates. Most people don't pay attention to this and just buy whatever spring kit or coil over kit they hear is a good one. If you want a smooth riding car with a nice drop, go with a softer spring kit like eibach sportlines (or similar) with the stock dampers and a set of adjustable ride height sleeves. Buying unknown springs and usingthem with oem type dampers could be a bad mix and cause ride quality and handling issues. If the springs are too stiff for the oem type dampers to control, you'll have a bouncy ride and the dampers will blow.

Basically, since there is little known info about these springs, you've taken a gamble on having a decent riding car or a very bouncy car which will have blown dampers in the near future...

Let us know how they perform.
