that one kid who never listens.

[TracieS]

So there is this kid well he is 17 but he hangs around the older car guys who are like 21 and up. But anyways one day he was like I am going to slam my mitata. Cool what you dropping it with. He said ebay sleeves after giving him the whole run down of why not he was like ok Ill wait till I get some more money. Well he let another kid talk him into the ebay sleeves again and this happened to his car it dropped lopsided unevenly while doing about 70 on the interstate. He gets it apart and posted this pic to fb. And we all bombed the pic with I told you so comments.

Edit:

Looks like the actual sleeve of the coilover sleeve.

Well let him learn from that since he is still easily influenced. Dont worry hopefully hell get the hint over-time to trust his own instincts in doing his own research to make his own decisions.

Btw does his influential friend even have a car,does he control his money and stuff like that if so I would steer clear from these types of individuals. They will be the same ones to talk people against you especially if your trying to help them since they are so well I dont want to say weak-minded, lets just say easily influenced.

I remember yearrrrrs ago I bought ebay coil over with sleeves. And when I took it out the box. I literally can squeeze the sleeve with my hand with a nice firm grip and hold. I saw the material distort.


I said oo hell no. I can't put these on my car. A hand vice squeezin and seein that vs a 2700 pd car. Noway.


Samw way for my quick release. So wobbly it fell apart. Never and won't use ebay style things like that.

My buddy has a quick release on his, I'm scared to drive it. I don't want the wheel to suddenly pop off

if i buy f&fs from ebay, they're stil ebay coil-overs...

what always happens is that little option "lowestprice +shipping"

and 50cent sleeves come up, and 500lb springs, so the fact that they dont know a damn thing they let themselves fall into cheapland

not everything from ebay is bad

next time some one wont listen, slap him across the face and say: IM GETTING FUCKING TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE

suspension and tires are easily the worst things to cheap out on. I dont get it

[drew12000]

what failed? it doesn't look like the adjustable collar gave. if it was down on the strut, how would that collar gotten bent up like that? looks like it was mounted at the top of the strut. i'm not saying that going cheap wasn't the problem. but you have to install parts correctly to get them to work properly.

Whoa easy there buddy, just because he buys crap products off of eBay doesn't mean he didn't install them properly too. Sheeesh give the kid a break, he's a tuner now.

I hope you can sense my sarcasm.
