^What do you guys think of these? I've had ebay sleeves in my old cars a few times, they were always junk. Just wondering if anyone has these, or ones similar to them, and how they ride and how you like em etc. I have almost nothing to spend on suspension for now, but will be asking for new struts/shocks for my birthday and I'm not installing these til I get those in as well so don't worry

Why not just do the right thing and get good suspsnesion componets the 1st time instead ot buying crappy ones now. Your not even in a hurry if your waiting for your birthday.

oh god please don't install these on your car...stick to a reputable brand and you will be alright.

you have pm.

those are gonna ride HARD!

if that's ur only choice and if u REALLY want to do it then do it..but get the new struts. i'd wait til u can get better name brand stuff. check craigslist..theres always people selling their springs because they have upgraded to coilovers or something. that's how i got mine cheap

[DJ metadelic]

Hmm thanks guys your right. But now brings me to my next question: I've always gone with coilovers before, but everyone and their mothers tell me to go with springs because of the spring rate issue with coils, and how harsh they ride anyway. Which is better in your opinions?

Cheap springs will always be cheap due to lack of field test , R&D , eventhough they use the same materials like the name brands.

Coilovers are good as long as they are mated with a good strut.
Remember the lower you go , the more you sacrifice ride quality.

They look like knock off Teins to me. After I bought some ebay coilovers for the Saturn coupe that I had years ago, I vowed that I would never purchase off brand suspension parts again. Just save up and get some good stuff.

IMO, cheap springs are better than cheap coilovers. Most of the time one set of coilovers can be used on several different vehicles. Springs are usually made for a particular model.

I'd sooner stick my dick in a blender than install those springs on my car. Anything that is "universal" for Civics, Integras, and Accords HAS to be garbage. "JDM" is the description. It says that they are green springs, and 2 lines later says "color: blue". They can't even get their advertisement right, and you're considering trusting your life to their products!

H&R, Neuspeed, Tein, Sprint, Eibach... I could go on and on with brand names that I would trust. They aren't that expensive. Get quality.

Coilover sleeves aren't all that bad, if they're quality. Ebay sleeves are even more dangerous than those shit springs in your link... but quality sleeves like Ground Control (who has their springs made by Eibach... with multiple spring rates made specifically for your vehicle) are definitely worthwhile.

These springs are supposedly for damn near every Honda on the road...

But yes, springs alone are better than coilover sleeves. The sleeves can fail. The springs are less likely to do so. The performance with either will be terrible if they aren't quality, though. To the point of losing control of your vehicle when you need it most.

I'm just gonna hold off and save up for Skunk2's or Dropzone's or something (springs not coilovers). Looking for a 2-2.25" drop, and will put some new struts/shocks in at that time as well. So I'll wait until I have the money to do everything properly-otherwise I'll end up laughing at myself when I smack my head off the roof as I drive over a pebble..
