what kind of coilovers are these? PIC
Wednesday, April 06, 2005 10:09 PM
i am looking for misc. susp. stuff and i have an ad in the classifieds, well i was contacted by a fellow .org member and he said he would sell me these for $45.....
well since these came on the car when he bought it he has no idea what brand they are and neither do i.
so he sent me a pic and now im tring to determine if these are decent coilovers or if they are equal to the garbage like whats on ebay.

well heres a pic that he sent.

btw. if anyone else has any aftermarket misc. susp. stuff(springs, dampers, braces, etc.) you are tring to get rid of let me know via e-mail

heres the pic





thanks for any info you can give me

I don't even see a threaded sleeve to adjust them on! Is there 1" worth of sleeve with the perches around it just sitting on the spring seat?

heh. There are only 2 sleeve kits worth using for our cars and both use the Ground Control style single spring perch.

Those are in fact HP Racing. I used to have a set. They are poorly made and the spring rates are UBER high. They were a lot of fun when autocrossing but a pain in the butt (and the back and neck) when driving on the streets.

Also, like the weas said, someone forgot a pretty major part when they installed those: THE SLEEVE.

Stay away from those like a $5 hooker screaming that it burns when she pees.
