read the post princess im the only one with a set right now from bing , ive only had them on my car since tues night, if u want an opinion that from someone who has actually driven hard on these you gotta wait a few days till the roads arent poopy, how bout u wait till the rain stop and then i tell you that its a $650 coilover set , if u want to be able to adjust your height and dampning get these , if you want to totally fine tune your suspension , buy stance off of bing, these are good , a bit noisy , but cant really judge because im running g-force KD’s on the back, so… springs bind a tiny bit on dry turn, but nothing to the point where i would like to shoot bing in the eye with elephant jizzle, all the peices seem to be quality. these i think may be one instance where u get more than what u pay for thats forsure, then only thing i wish was that the lower strut braket was adjustable, but this is strictly a street car so ill make do, helper springs make thing a bit nicer on the streeti may just pull them out and run on the main springs though just to see how things go
Those don’t look that bad actually. I’m wondering, can you remove the helper springs? That might be an option for getting another inch of drop without having to pre-load the main spring to death.
Helper springs are used to position the spring on the body when the shock is drooping more than the free length of the spring
the helper springs essentially have a 0 lb/in spring rate or close to it, so removing them would not adjust ride height, spring preload or anything, and would be beyond the most retarded thing anyone has ever done since inventing these cheap coilovers to begin with.
Helper springs are critical ANY TIME the spring can become free of the top hat, as you need to make sure if a wheel is unloaded and then drops down quickly that it will locate on the top hat, and not bounce around and smash shit.
Infact, the helper springs are pretty much the only good thing about these coilovers, they look like 100% knockoffs of TEIN HA’s from back in the day, even the damper adjustment ontop looks the same. i bet the spring rate is close too
What happened to crazy “Ima run away from the cops Sasha” who wasn’t afraid to do crazy shit like run droop springs. When did you grow up man…when did you grow up?

i have a set in stock but i run Stance on my own car…
i can afford good stuff so i use it…lol… i would run these on a second cheap turbo car and i do have one, but i’m selling it… dont need that right now.
if you want longevity you should not be comparing these to KYB AGX’s. AGX’s will outlast most good coilovers anyways…
if you guys really need to ask these questions you shouldnt be considering these coilovers.
These are entry level, treat them as such.
it’s friggin $620 for new shit… what do you really want???
people pay this for leaky Kei Office coils off busted clips that you cant even rebuild in North America… compared to that these are a steal.
and the damper shafts bent nearly every race in the front, they always came loose, the height would change randomly and they were overdamped
oh and i went 3.5 seconds faster the next year on stance tripples, among other changes I made to the car.
why was i on D2’s? Because thats what I already had, from a time when I didn’t understand the purpose for inverted front dampers, or for quality shock components that dont explode below 7degC But now i do. Learn from my mistakes children. Please, oh please learn from my mistakes.
