maxpeedingrods $450 version on a FC Vert #studentlife lol
Still stock. Looking into Gecko for mines.
Koni yellows with Eibach springs going on my 2012 MazdaSpeed 3 this weekend or next. Original stock ones from when I bought it new starting to give up (61K daily driver miles) and the right rear spring broke like they commonly do on the Mazda 3 line.
Lowering spring from tien on both Outback and wrx because they are daily drivers.
I’ve got eBay specials that came with my G35, previous owner put them on, honestly they’re actually not that bad
Me buying EBay coilovers after this video and telling people I have BC Racing coilovers
This has my dying 😂😂😂😂
😂😂 To low for the haters to see anyways 🤷🏾♂️
Lmfaooo
Find a BC Racing sticker to “prove it” ezpz
@@AramysFS7 you can buy those stickers off of ebay or even the bs website boom its bc lmao
Bashing eBay coilovers because they hurt your sales lmao
Carter Davis ok cool
Yeah i felt that exact thing. I wrote something on that
I just got some Racelands for $400 and I’m happy with them
@@FELIPE8226M I just installed a $300 pair of eBay coilovers on my 91 Corolla. It's pretty cool. I'm sure the thousand-dollar ones would feel better but I can't justify dropping $700 more. I literally spent less than that on entire car
@@crow-vz5lx now that it’s 5 months later how good did they do for u?
I’ve been bouncing around on cut springs for months, yall are clowns thinking ima care what brand my coilovers are
josepla yer21 this shit made me laugh more than you would think hahaha
Laughed hard as fuck at this
Same here man eBay coilovers are nothing compared to that cut spring life
Bro fucking same, I sent it hard with my 11th gen Corolla cz j wanted to be low, I risked my life and car to be low so eBay isn’t all that bad if anything improved my car 11110000000 million times more than the cut springs ctfu, shit same with my ek civic I never once had an issue with my eBay coilovers I installed on it. Only issue is I had to modify holes in the actual coilovers cz bolts where to thick for the tiny little holes they had 😂 bruh when I say I had a bumpy fucking ride , it was terrible
I took the car in a cornfield on cut springs dawg not intentionally lol so if I can trust the car coming out alive on that ima say eBay is good for the price lol
I had people who got them to put on daily drivers. They are great for lowering but don’t expect a soft ride. They are great for track use. If your looking to lower your car but keep ride quality go for lowering springs or higher end coils overs. The max speeding rods last a good time my friend has them on his focus and 2 1/2 years later they still ride good however the paint is cheap and will chip off easy. Don’t go for the 200$ one get the 300$ with adjustable dampener. Once you get them the first week will be horrible but once you break them in the will get better. And before install them put anti seize on it and lube around the top so it doesn’t clunk or squeak. I was gonna put them on my 05 wrx but I don’t track it I daily drive it so please consider lowering springs if you care about ride quality. And to those people saying it’s junk you never owned them nor tested them. Do your research before you spread misinformation about them.
Ebay has so many made-up brands of coilovers. The same Chinese factory making 20 different fake brands. Sorry but $500 isn't going to get you a good set of coilovers. Their damper valving will be poor quality, and they probably have never been track-tested by anyone with real experience. Some of them don't even tell you what the spring rate is, much less allow you to choose your own rates.
One thing I did love about the Maxpeedingrods was that when I asked the seller to supply me with adjustable dampers (i originally had the non adjustable), they sent me some for about 80 bucks, which was a surprise considering they're eBay coilovers lol
80's Boombox Collector that’s why it’s called “budget” and I bought race land before and Max speeding rods befor to test. Pretty similar but the eBay ones have cheaper paint and you will have to lube them up before installing. And I used them for my Subaru Outback for track use and the work great for the price. Don’t expect them to be as good as 500+ coils your trying to compare. Next time actually buy the product and test it out before you spread out misinformation you boomer.
I doubt cheap eBay coil overs are great for “track use”
Harsh conditions for some Chinese parts..
I can say the same for maybe eBay turbos and such
Lol, don’t track cheap coilovers unless you want to revalve or replace them after every track use
wouldn’t buy a thot gucci, I’m not buying my $1k salvage title car nice coils 💀
Squirrel M3 you got a point 😂
Facts.

BIG FACTS!!! 💀💀
Where the ebay built boys at. We stay bouncin on the coils
high five 😆
Just swap out the springs with 326 powers I promise you it’ll work yea it runs you 250 dollars but if you wanna be static for cheap and not be on washers 🤷🏽♂️
@@neverfinished646 thanks for the helpful information I've been after stiffer some stiffer springs and had hard time finding the right vendor.
I'd still take them over stock 90s suspension

I’m stilling driving around on my stock 20 year old struts anythings is an upgrade at this point 😅
Same on my 1983 BMW 5er 😂
Hella
Relatable
Same here but my struts are done for
This guy gets it.
So far I haven’t broken anything with mine.
How long you been on them?
I’m definitely guilty when it comes to the topic of “did I ever consider buying these?”. Y’all did too, don’t frickin lie 😂
I treat my car like it's my girlfriend (I don't have a girlfriend because race car) she gets pampered and all the best stuff. Costs a lot but I mean, I don't know bout you but I don't wanna be breaking cheap parts while doing reckless things in Mexico if you know what I'm saying.
*M A X P E E D I N G R O D S*
All I’m saying is, for the money those are pretty damn good. Definitely would buy those over ricelands
Bought this brand and it started leaking fluid. Would definitely not buy again.
Koolblue yah I have a buddy with an Acura RSX type R and he got a set of maxpeedingrods full adjustable coilovers that even allow him to adjust the dampers for a smoother ride and he payed around $360 for them and they have been on his car for 2 years now and had zero issues and ride smooth and look great so tbh I’d definitely buy them they seem like a fairly good brand tbh
A friend got some for his celica and the rear end sits higher than stock height lol
ScreamingPandas7 you do realise you can adjust the height right
If my dad found out I ran eBay coil overs he’ll disown me
😂
$800 Civic HX, $300 adjustable coilovers....yes...We talkin' about budget build.
a 98’ hx?????
Mine was a 97.
Maxpeedingrods on my 3G Eclipse sitting on 18x9.5 lowered to about 5” off the ground (or the Height of an iPhone 11 Max 😂). They have been put through their paces and honestly, they are adjustable as hell with the exception of dampers. From track use to road use they’ve held pretty damn well.
Do u still recommend em for a 2G?
Not low enough
So you spend a grand on a car but the want you to spend 2k on 4 pieces of metal lol. Thank you eBay
Exactly
I’ve had eBay parts on cars when I first started out and didn’t have a lot of money if you just starting out go for it you might learn something and y’all know what to look for on your next build it’s about fun guys not how deep your pockets is
Absolutely well said!! It's about the experience, and learning from those experiences.
Got eBay coilovers for mine.
They work just fine .. comfy enough.
Even better then Tein lowering springs which are very stiff.
I have $300 maxspeeding coilovers on my 1995 Toyota Corolla dx and it rides like a champ super slammed 😁
So the ones with dampening?
Just bought some for my Scion xB haha hope they work out
I just bought Mostplus adjustable coilovers for my '96 Corolla DX lol
we basically have the same car & yes mine also costed $300

Been running maxspeedingrods on my 2002 TL type S for sound 7 months, not too bad honestly. Just wanted to be slammed and lower center of gravity to tear up the corners and they do their job 🤙
I got the basic Maxspeedingrods coil overs because my wider tire setup wouldn't allow for just lowering springs. Yes they need to be lubed, anti-seized, and zero-preloaded, but they're still reasonably dailyable. When the road is smooth, they are smooth. When the road is rough, they are rough. I recommend them as beginner coil overs or people who aren't going to be tracking them often.
I have the orange set of maxpeedingrods coilovers shown in the video and they are very well built, the lower the car nicely, and have been amazing for auto cross on my 2010 impreza wagon, the ride quality isnt the worlds best but it isnt terrible, not too much different from my old BCs on my 2g eclipse.
I was running truhart coilovers on my Acura TL. Felt good, had a ton of adjustability as long as you didn't want to go with the stock height. The tallest they went was still a 1 1/2" drop so not bad at all
@Gideon Jones I had truharts on my 2008 TL Type S and they were fine. I even paired them with some name brand UCAs with the adjustable camber plates and the car didn't give me any problems. Props to the TL guys in the world. Lol. I don't have the car anymore but now I have a 1997 Accord LX and am looking for some cheap but reliable coilovers. Don't think I will be going eBay or Raceland. Probably something low to mid range price wise. Maybe some TruHarts again or some entry level Teins
I bought the orange ones in the video and let’s just say I had to jb Wield my rear shock together 😂
Never had any issues or complaints about my maxpeedingrods. Every set I’ve had has done great and lasted far past my ownership of the vehicle. They could withstand daily driving and track/ canyon driving just fine. Rides a little harsh but for the cost and what I got out of them, it’s not bad at all.
Any sugguestions from anyone on the best set of coils to run for my 13' Brz?? Will be daily driving but also track days when I can
For more wheels, tires and suspension.
Head over to 👉 eBayIndustries.com
*For sketchy wheels, tires, and suspension
Says they are sketchy but buys from ebay and marks up the price to put on fitment industries
I got the yellow maxpeedrods for my Mazda 3. Yes, they’re stiff but that’s what I preferred especially if my main goal is just lowering my car without the fear of bottoming out.
That’s the pro side of the coilovers, the con side is the horrible built coil overs.
I had experienced snapped end links because the front coilovers was actually spinning around in the knuckle. The company that made these coilovers didn’t take that into account.
Also, I had a bad set. It would make noise when turning the wheel. Like banjo strings plunking.
The customer service behind the coilovers is trash. Tried to get in contact with someone about the problems, no response... ever.
If you’re tight on cash, just want to lower your car, doesn’t track your car, think luck is on your side to get a set with no problems, can fix a problem with the coilovers if you do happen to run across them, then I would get them. From my experience, it’s a hard NO.
For security with this stuff, check the reviews before you buy it.
Reviews can tell ya a lot of important information that you might not see in the 'about' section.
That can point you in the right direction, and stay safe people.
On Ebay. No one really gives reviews
Max speeding rods(spell check) 24 adj on a 94 civic hatchback. Manual, street and track use, gutted but have AC, drove on them for about 2 years.
Even on the hardest setting. It is like a mid+ setting on more expensive brands. On streets I ride 5 clicks away from max (pot holes in Florida and huge speed bumps) very fun to drive. My bucket seats makes the ride much more fun and gives me more information from the road. New upper and lower control arms and others tells me more if my car is in control going to do something crazy. New S drive tires all around, upgraded the brakes n stuff and I have a smile on my face every time i drive her. Of course, if i was thinking about going into competition, i would have to upgrade alot of stuff to get my time down.
But for entry level? Go for it. Learn from these so you know what you really want in a full coilover kit that cost over $1000
...I have been told from many Honda heads...."buy eBay coils and slap some swift/326 springs"...you're welcome...
Found some from maxspeedingrods there good...but i never told anyone there from ebay (im broke)
Rusty Rocket I’m running the same coilovers no shame paid nearly 250 for mine
How long have u had them
If you're broke, don't buy coilovers at all.
@@Mr.grubby 3 months now runnin good and low
@Alex Strömberg dude, weak trolling and bullshit. They're not actually broke. Do they not have jokes in Finland? Crappy caramel cheese, but not jokes apparently.
Atm i daily my 96 civic that im going to make a lil rice, but its completely stock. How wil the daily'ability be with just slapping h&r or eibach springs on the stock shocks?
Should I get coilovers or lowering springs its going on my daily driver and just to look good I dont do tracks or race etc.
Can it be worth if I buy some coilovers from maspeedingrods for a daily driver Eclipse RS 96?
Any recomendation brand .. for a 06 acura rsx base model over ebay . please dont have much money but i need a some good quality coilovers please and thanks
Lowering Springs > Cheap coils
David Baginskiy static mafia
@@LowerClassClique coils are also static.
Alex Strömberg in a sense yes. I understand you can’t adjust as ur driving obviously but you can just lift it up when preparing for winter and shit like that. So I say TRUE static is unadjustable period.
(Also yes I understand some coil overs don’t adjust)
@@LowerClassClique coilovers are static, bags aren't. Easy as that.
Yeah until you blow out your stock struts. Unless your car has under 100k miles I would never put lowering springs on stock struts
my experience is as follows. im gonna get shit for it but i own several 92095 eg civics.
my first one was a dedicated daily driver with emusa coilovers on it, matched with lenso vpd 15" wheels and federal 595s. took it to the track and they performed exactly how i thought. tight in the corners and a rough ride anywhere else. it felt like a "rAcE CaR"
fast forward to when i picked up my second eg, they have fuction and form type 1's. little bit more expensive coil over and let me fucking tell you something, comparing a name brand ike f&f to an ebay brand was just hilarious. the ride quality was soft enough that i didnt have to look like a drunk driver dodging every pot hole in the ground, the corners were tight enough to hold balance through them, the ride feels like stock height, and get this, THEY HAVENT SIEZED up since having them on there for 5 years lmao.
point is - you get what you pay for, im again buying another set of f&f's regardless if theyre $600. this hobby isnt cheap.
They're tempting not gonna lie but I saved up and bought my teins flex Zs for my sti 😃
I have a 2015 lancer GT cvt sportronic, I bought msr coilovers for $290, I had to ziptie abs line and brake line to the coilover since they didn't have a brackets, and the adjustable sway bar collar was always coming loose and twisting the lower collar loose ..about a year later the top mount bushings wallowed out and made some crazy clunking noise, and even at the lowest ride height I still had a 2.5" wheel gap in the rear, stock 18" tires. I just recently replaced them with another ebay brand "LOD shock" and they still have a 2" wheel gap in the rear, preload is at 0, and the fronts have a 2" wheel gap but if I bottom those out it will tuck the tires but... My rear end will still be up. I'm $600 into coilovers in 2 years, don't cheap out on important stuff
Less than a year in after installing ebay coilovers and the shock blew through the top hat.. 💥awesome.
I have a set of ebay jdm speed coilovers on my 09 impreza hatch, it lowered it about 4 inches from stock hieght, they're my first set of coilovers so I can only compare it to stock suspension, definitely stiff but the soften up a tad and all around good price and haven't had a problem, I've had them for about 7 months and cant complain
How have they held up?
Opinions on versus racing vs23 wheels? Wondering if they are a good quality wheel even though the price is only $540?
I have some blue maxspeeding rods on my 07 is250 and I was honestly extremely surprised. A good bit of adjusting is required but after that it's amazing. Not bouncy, comfortable ride, plenty of adjustments, and I've had them well over a year.
How are they holding up, im thinking of getting them for my 06.
What adjustments did you put it on
So are they worth it?? Cuz im lookin for something to lower the rear of my car any suggestions?
why do you take so long to explain this. I legit just wanna know if they're worth it not a history lecture.
Exactly this. I just commented about this.
He drag the fuck outta this.
that's pretty much how every video on this channel is sadly, gotta try to hit that 10 min mark i guess.
I have a 1996 civic hatchback I think it's an eJ but sometimes it's called ek sometimes eg so what is it? Also I want BLACK coilovers or lowering springs it's a daily car
Purchased a set last week. Simply because they were a third of the price for stock replacement shocks
i have Blitz Damper ZZ-R Coilovers any good?? because i find them very hard, i feel every bump on the road
I want suspension for my Renault MK1 Gen 2 but I can't find good one's
I went with Ebay special coilovers on my first build an ls integra. I didn't expect a good quality. But I have been pleasantly surprised with them for the cost.
Which ones did you buy
@@hodgee3643 maxspeedingrods I think
Helping a buddy install some and the the sleeve or collar that came with it to make it thicker for the front is too narrow and despite being completely fastened down the whole thing still slides out once we release the jack. Hopefully I find a better sleeve/collar tomorrow. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I have had my for a month and they aren’t half bad . Why pay 1k for some adjustments when all I want is to be on the ground
What's the rim on the bottom left of gels in grey with the 7 spoke design?
If your gonna buy coilovers, u might as well get a well known brand with reviews. They have well documented coils that are relatively affordable. I ran CXracing coils on my SC. Only costed me like 500-600 dollars and they worked just fine.
What’s a good website to buy aftermarket parts from?
CXRacing Coilovers almost $600 rides perfect! Oh I bought that off eBay 👌🏽👌🏽
Any recommendations boys I'm building a 06 st246 Toyota caldina I was thinking of doing something cheap n nasty lower the better
I ran racelands on my 7th gen civic , they were ok for a little less then a year. Went with the good ol ebay maxspeeding rods coilovers. I liked the overall design and set up alot better then the Racelands. Ended up using the Raceland springs on the Ebay coilovers. It's the best of both worlds, better ride, able to lower it where I wanted
Bought eBay coil overs from my other car just bought another pair now I watch your video
Would these work on a Nissan Altima 2013 asking for a friend ?
Was on cut springs before , I trusted my life and car on them , and bouncing around on flat ground I think my eBay coilovers are 1 million times better than being on them 😂 a that 1 year warranty got my back it’s cool , 2 time eBay coilover guy I ain’t scared lol
I bought them because my Imprezas rear strut is broken and 1 factory strut is like 400 so why not spend 400 on a pair of Coilovers and I get to lower the car
These are my coilovers specs. I know nothing. Is this any good?

New to your channel. Is it a bad idea to run Bilstein B6 in front and B4 in rear? '19 Honda Civic with stock suspension.
I would stick to the same all around
Hey what brand are the 2 alloys bottom right in the back drop?
Honestly have had ebay covers in my eclipse for like 3 months and as long as you get the ones with dampening adjustment they can ride nice and handle well. My friends with tien and megans interact heir car have said that it feels like a set of 800$ coils. The life of then are definitely shorter that your top end products but honestly you can't beat it for the price
Running a maxspeedingrods coilover on my first gen mazda 3 😂 so far its not bad. 1.5 years old and going strong 👌👌 only issue I have is spring binding due to the cheap thrust washers 😕
Any answers on how to stop the springs from binding ?
@@christopherbaboo8732 What I did was swap out the trashed thrust washers with some swift springs thrust sheets(washers) and added a little pure grease just for added measure and it went away. Hoped this helped!
@@akatsuki.5428 can you link me to the swift washers ?
@@christopherbaboo8732 well this is what I used www.ebay.com/itm/362903788532 you just have to make sure it's the size you need since it comes in a few diffrent sizes depending on what coilover you have and what size washer it has
Why do you have no nissan juke parts on your website? 😩
Bought some maxspeed rods coils and had them for 4 years now but they just crapped out. Gotta get new ones.
as someone extremely new to suspension mods it's interesting to watch this before even really knowing what a coilover is lol
How often do they break at the weld?
Maxspeedingrods on the g35 and they felt pretty good. I have never had a expensive coil over set but I will say for 300 dollars they were pretty damn good and did the job.
What's the wheel left of the good ole' bronze Patrick?
Tried them and they rode super rough. I should have gotten then adjustable dampers and maybe would have helped. Also one of the rear ones blow out after maybe 20-30 miles of city driving and the best offer I got for replacing them was to give the seller another $50 and “I’d be very happy no problem”. I kept my $50 and moved on.
I look those 2 kansei wheels more than everything in the vid lol i love those rims. Dannnggg also tks for the ebay tip of coilovers
My sn95 mustang GT has had eibach lowering springs for 10 years now still haven't bought a single set of coilovers
Is BC racing 1000 dollars coil over for the srt8 any good
What’s the opinion on race land coilovers?
Got TRD springs on factory shocks on my daily (reliable) FRS, and eBay coilovers on my project/fun/ slammed (no shits to give about comfort) Integra. EBay coilovers are just eBay coilovers. They are good if you don't expect a lot out of them other than to lower your car.
I was planning to buy a set for my 01 celica. But i heard a thing that it doesn't drop at the rear. Can you please tell me anything about that?
Worth if u broke 😂
Don't buy it instead of you're broke
broke you're if functionality cars your ruin Don't
@@KaiserVonKrieg WHAT????
yeffocyort read what he said backwards bro
I’m not broke I’ll just rather spend money on other things like rims or a lip
So I have a cuestión anyone I want to lower my e46 but I don’t know at this point what’s better lowering springs or coilover from eBay and how long each last
Brother your better off to go with the coilovers I feel. Lowering springs are expensive so are coilovers but the ability you have to stance is way more than lower springs. So the extra money is well spent. But then again If your not really the kinda dude that likes to get in there and do it yourself. Coilovers. If you after stance. If you just want your daily lowered a bit and not wana spend to much lower springs then. If your really on a budget cut the springs out.
I got 350€ fk's with height and stiffness adjustability and they work great
What brand?
FK for 350? Nah sorry, i prefered to search for a second hand set of KW V1.... and got them for 400 done.
Better than cut springs or adjustable springs lol but been testing different coilovers to slam my 93 Del sol so far the eBay special has gotten me the lowest but I’m still looking around trying to go lower was thinking about function and form coilovers
Awhile back I purchased “rokkor” coilovers. Which were re branded racelands.
One issue I had was camber maxed out on the front left tire. I solved with with camber bolts. They lasted about 3 years until the ride became too bouncy. Switched to rev9 coils. Better shock adjustment same price, 4 years later and still riding as if new.
Bryan C rokkors were like adjustable springs lol. Too soft but cheap
I've got a 2001 MB CL500 and I'm currently using Strutmasters coilovers. The front wheel height is perfect, but it sits up kinda high in the rear. Instead of buying a new set of coilovers (that I can adjust) could I just get some lowering links for the rear wheels?
You could! I’d do some research and see what others are running to be safe. What are you running for wheels? -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries Right now i am running some factory wheels that came from a 99 SL500. Of course they are 5x112, but I'm not certain they are the correct offset
Man my toyota tercel is probably 1000$ and the coilovers cost 950$ 🤦🏾♂️
Yes they are worth it,
Some lessons are learned the hard way
They are worth it only if you go for quality and proven engineering. Sorry but $500 won't get you a good quality set of coilovers.
Or you realize that 500 dollars is too cheap when all the name brands cost 1k and up.
@@alexstromberg7696 Yep. But these kids just look at the Ebay photos and assume they're all the same, so hey let's just buy the cheapest ones, yo. Or they listen to some scrub on a forum who says they're great just because they've lasted 8 months so far lol, or saying "they ride awesome", neglecting to mention that they're bouncy as hell because the dampers aren't good quality.
80's Boombox Collector you keep commenting with this snobby mentality but at the end of the day for 2-300 dollars they are not bad. Your comparing 300 dollar coils to 1000 dollar coils. Of course the top dollar ones are good nobody is saying they suck. We are just saying that for the price they are good, I’ve seen maxpeeding on multiple vehicles last a while and people on here that have legitimately tested them and they are okay. Not amazing nor superb but they are okay for the price
i have a set of rev 9 on my 97 mirage that i got off ebay... good experience with them so far
What spring rates shipped with yours? What’s your impression of what they shipped with? Considering the rev 9 for another Mitsubishi.
I feel he knows there are some good generic , "rebranded" coilovers.but can't legally say they are garbage. .cause he wants you to buy the 2500 dollar ones they have...just spit balling.
I would say it's more about what car it's going.
How big/ heavy is it. How powerfull is it.
Does it have awd? Traction control? Expensive wheels and tires?
How hard do you drive it?
I'm actually buying 250 dollar " ebay " coilovers. The specs look better than the others. Also im putting them on my 91 carolla. Which i bought for 850$$ a couple years ago.
I'm not buying 900- 1500 dollar ones
I have maybe 100 hp.
I won't benifit from terribly expensive coils.
It's my daily. Also my shocks are gone i can botton out very easily.
I have maxpeedingrods coilovers on my mk4 golf. Yes they are on the stiffer side but the roads in my area are great condition which is why I didn't mind going with a stiffer ride. The quality seemed decent. I don't have anything to compare them to but nothing stood out as great and nothing stood out as bad. Installation went smoothly and everything fit nicely. For $250 you can't expect the best but they get the job done. Had them on my car for about 3 months and they are going strong. Time will tell how long they last.
how are they now? or how long did they last
They do have a name and a brand. They are made by Maxpeedingrods, who also make all sorts of other stuff including forged rods, turbos and more, and the quality is actually pretty decent.
pwnski the maxpeedingrods coilovers were the only cheap coilovers I even saw in the video too. They didn’t even want to mention Emusa. Which are manufactured by the Bor Chuann company that makes BC and Megan Racing. I’ve heard really good things about them
If you’re thinking about ebay coils and you have no intentions on hardcore drifting or auto cross I would say get them. I’ve had a few sets on a few different cars and I’ve also had some name brands ebay is the way to go if your just going to be racing in a line or drifting here and there and you’re not going to be competitive. They do also last along time I’ve had one set on my daily for the past 4 years. Are they the best and most adjustable? No but they do work for a more controlled ride especially older cars are well as looks.
I put maxpeeding coils on my civic, and I love the ride, they ride pretty decent, and handle well. And the best part is they were 200$! (on sale, and a discount code) To be clear I didnt max them out, which plays a part into them feeling better. Also they have dampener adjustment that works pretty well. I highly recomend them to anyone who is trying to get a little bit lower, but not slammed, and is on a strict budget.
Just bought those
Should I buy race lands for my 7th gen accord coupe?🤔😂
I recently bought Mostplus coilovers from Amazon for my '96 corolla & had them installed yesterday
rides perfectly fine but damn, the height is different lol
I bought Rev9 coil overs for me 9th gen Si. I was worried about quality and how long they would last. For the price it’s scary. 2.5 years and 40k miles later I’m still on the same set and they ride great.
They need to be set up right… if you don’t know how to set pre-load and the travel of your shocks if you have shocks in the rear have someone else install them.
