Coilover twin spring?

[Nats93]

I saw these on ebay, coilover with TWIN springs. Anyone have these? I tired to post this on the "suspention" thread but was not allowed cause I dont have full privledges. anyways, i'm going to try and paste a pic of them, and if it does not show, try the link below.

those look kinda solid man. but a huge word of advice get lowering springs!!!!!! not coilovers. youll blow all your struts like me. so please get loweringsprings that drop you like 2 or lowering not more unless have upgraded struts. kyb agx are great.

coilovers dont blow struts.

morons who put junk coilovers on struts with 100k+ miles on them, and set them super low, are the ones who blow struts.

Save your money, and buy full body coilovers, Function and form, Tein, D2, Ksport, Hell even skunk2. do it right.

I don't see the point why would anybody do a twin spring.

Anyway get something better than that. Way way better.

agreed.
this looks like something bad waiting to happen.

That would be a much better setup with standard coilovers and just the little springs stacked on top. They keep the stiff coilover spring seated when the car lifts. They're called helper springs and alot of racing coilover sets will come with interchangeable ones.

Just sayin guis. You can see helper springs on highend coilover setups.
The problem with this setup is that the overall length of spring would be tiny, you would have no suspension travel atall.

X2 my teins have them, Other wise when you wind the coilover right down and jack the suspension up the main springs is completely loose.
Its more a safety thing, and also prevents the springs from rattling when driving

Yep, it also adds comfort by taking out super fine bumps in the road yet since they're easily compressed, when you set the car in the corner they go coilbound instantly and the full load is put on the large stiffer spring. You can get good suspension travel, handling, and comfort this way.

i want helpers cause my springs always fall everytime i lift the car.

the search is on.

Hmm learn something new everday..so the lowerng springs are "set" to say like 2 inches? Two inches is all I want. And the coil overs are for "adjustment?? I also read horror stories like tires wearing down within a week, and shocks blowing up in a few days...is this because of the coilovers??? Hey guys thanks for your input...forums like these are great....Nat

Typicaly, the stock struts blow with coilovers because coilovers run a high spring rate. The high spring rate makes the stock struts try to damper way more than they do stock and thats why they blow, it doesn't have as much to do with how low you set them as how stiff they are. I wouldn't recomend buying this setup simply because of how short the springs are.

omg i havent been on ebay forever. these coilovers should work perfect for the ppl who lower their cars on stock struts

[F22HB]

lol, sorta, there technicaly is no coilover meant for stock struts.
