no.

 

If they actually drop the car then I guess... but they'll ride a little rough. They're better than cut springs that's for sure.

 

do u guys think that they are like arospeeds?

 

thanx for the coments, but i need to know if the coils will work with the stock shocks/struts, or i need to buy new ones.

First off... I'd say they'd be almost identical to Arospeeds in ride quality... most coilover sleeve kits ride the same...

and here is the answer to your question:

Now for the front, its the same thing, but the sleave doesnt fit around the hexagon shaped cap. (somthingon, I dont remeber how many sides, a polygon of some sort). It very soft metal so I just took a file, filed down the edges of it and the sleave slides right down and rests on the stock perch...install, and ur down low...if you want to drop it onther inch of so, ud have to cut off the stock perch because the new coils perch will hit it, but its more then low enough 1/4 inch gap with them down as far as it will go without cutting off the stock perch....

I dont have a digi, but ill draw it up....

here my cheezy paint diagram, if ur mechanicly inclined, it should be good enough, ill take some pics with my buddies digi asap

also, the short set of springs go up in the front and the long ones go in the back...maby for the wrong year? I dont know....

 

thanx man, very good help , i'd maybe buy them.

 

i just instaled ebay coilovers and they didnt lower my car at all i tried everything im on stock struts. i tried the flipped over where the sleeves are on the top, just the springs, and i even cut 2 coils, they still aint dropping my car. its even a little higher than stock.

 

whoa...somethings not right. i've heard of that happening to some people. maybe its the wrong application for your car??

 

thats what im worried about , but its just weird how it happens to some other people so thats another thing to think about buying aerospeed or ebay coilovers.

 

My car needs a serious drop! I have 18's and a fresh new paint job. I need to know what is the best way to go about slammin her... because I was thinking of buying some aerospeed coilovers and now you guys say it sux?
