@@GarageBuiltHondas how is the adjustable dampening? Do it really feel any different from all 24 clicks of adjustments? I have non adjustable racelands and wish I had got something with more for less
Finally a good review of these with somebody that has experience with good suspension, instead of reading reviews that someone's dad sisters husbands grandfather seen on UA-cam from their cousins brothers sister boyfriend friend who had a set who never put them on but said they were junk lol👍🏽
They've been fine with me and I've had them for a over a year on my 1995 Honda civic ex. I first had them "maxed ' out on its lowest setting to " slam " the car and I recently raised it up and it's still a comfy ride. No excessive bouncing they feel fine to me
Finally, a decent review of these lol. Was seriously considering these since i daily drive 99% of the time. No need to wear out a nice set of coils out on the road if these handle adequately. IMO.
Do not buy these coilovers unless you want to replace your entire suspension in less than 3 months! They ride horrible no matter how you adjust the dampening!
Iron Guts Speed Shop really. Seems like there’s a lot more that could factor into that such as they weren’t installed right Cause 99 percent of people say their good. Can you explain why they exploded ? Was this recently ?
I threw some maxpeedingrods on my 2006 tsx. While they aren’t the best they are surprisingly really good for the price. Had em on for over a year. No issues.
I have a set of these on my 1998 golf and for the money, they are great . Not as good as the BC's on my Nissan, but for my VW they are just fine. not too stiff and handling is way better
Love the budget coilover option man. While im with you in purchasing the most cost effective mods, inexpensive coilovers never hold up the as their more expensive counterparts.

What a great review, love the camera in the suspension good to be able to compare the movements with the road surface. I think the company is doing fairly well in advancing their product which is good to see. To those saying low price Chinese parts don’t have longevity all I can say is I have this companies turbo on my landcruiser with no issues for 60,000km (I’ve seen far less from far more expensive turbos).

Look at how these "shocks" perform on a shock Dyno and you'll be shocked. 😅 There's zero dampening initially. About 5% dampening force as you'd expect there to be. Then later on in the high speed area they spike sky high in force all a sudden. It actually goes off the charts. What that tells you is they're progressive in category (Linear and digressive is what you want for a car, not progressive). But not just that, the fact that it goes off the charts at the high speed area means only one thing.. the dampers shim stack it self is Max'd and isn't doing anything except compressing hydraulic fluid. To say these are bad is an understatement. They're literally the most undesirable dampers you'd ever pick for your car. Zero body control, zero initial turn in response (other than what the springs are doing) and then when you hit a medium size pothole going over 30+mph, youll bounce up in the air (the force of the springs with no dampening) then when you come back down BAM the dampers suddenly apply their maximum force. They have tons of lag, no motion control, and are overwhelmed from an average pothole. Cmon Be real guys . Do some research on these before you recommend them for others to get screwed by. You can get some real deal linear/digressive dampers twin tube or hell even monotube for just a little more money than what these cost and these are garbage shock🗑️shock🗑️ shock 🗑️ shock 🗑️

I have them on my miata and my EF hatch.Good for a budgit suspension I just order stiffer springs for them ,with a little over 6k miles still feel good.
I got the same maxspeedingrods for my 08 Civic Si back in 2017 and they were noisy,stiffness was ok but the real con is that the shocks blew within three months!! I then went with rokkor coilovers that use the stock top hats and it really made a huge difference in ride quality. It was way more comfortable,still stiff but not exaggerated Luke theaxspeedingrods and they lasted me over a year till I totalled my Si. The maxspeedingrods coilovers shocks were not adjustable though so idk if that would've made them last longer or gave me better ride quality but still the metal to metal top hats that come with the coilovers are noisy compared to rokkor that use stock oem top hats,so even for that reason alone I would stick with rokkor which are a bit more expensive but worth it.
Nice! I would like a long term update on some of these cheap Chinese parts to see what your opinions are on them Jon. Sometimes these parts work really well in the short term but wear out quickly.
@@GarageBuiltHondas that would be great as I'm in the market for coilovers for my maxima and don't have a lot of funds for the higher end. Lowering springs won't work as I don't want camber bolts. Thanks.
Did I miss something? I wouldn't put skunk2 crap on any of my suspension. I learned that lesson with their cheap chinese adjustable cam gears that just about ruined my build.
This is the worst coil overs I've ever used ...Have them on my subaru legacy B4....Its a nightmare.....Dont buy this for daily driven....to me its for the track (smooth surfaces) or light weight cars
I really enjoyed this content, I'm new to building a 88crx awd (s-1built all d way baby) and this video have me sold on these coil overs so much goes into a build and when u don't know this is great!
These seem great for being a budget coilover you can’t beat that price for the adjustability that you have especially if your a new driver learning to adjust suspension
They're solid for a weekend track kind of dude. This car is built to have a little fun, if you want to be more competitive then something better would be needed.
Well, you've convinced me lol. I'm getting me a set! Next is a 5speed swap (not about that automatic life) but cleanest EF I've seen in years so I had too. Mpfi and 5speed swap then turbo it and I'll be happy... For now hahaha
@@GarageBuiltHondas I kinda figured, I'm hoping all this fixes me not passing emissions lol I had to run it lean and get her through that way. Thanks Jon you are the most informative person ever when it comes to the EF community. I appreciate all the help and info you have provided over the months lol you're the greatest
Sadly I still haven't got the issue of the factory defective adjustment knob resolved after 2 weeks of emailing back and forth between someone with broken English from China. Took almost a week to finally get someone to respond. Beware ppl, customer service is almost non existent if you are unlucky enough to need it. That being said, Ive had mine on for a little more than 3 weeks and I really like them otherwise. I changed the preload and set it to basically zero bc their preload was completely different in each coilover. Also running nearly a 3 finger gap with a couple clicks away from full stiff... On 3 out of 4 corners at least 🤣
What I find amazing is the color of your CRX (orange-red) looks exactly like the color of my old one/parts car. It's interesting that two different people colored their CRX's the same. Or maybe the same person owned both yours and mine at some point and just loved that color. Painting style nearly matches as well, just sprayed haphazardly and on the trim pieces as well.
I believe some people liked the OEM maroon color found on them originally I actually really like this color. I'd like to get outside and paint the moldings back to black and try to chip the rest of the paint off of the bumper moldings too.
@@GarageBuiltHondas For the 10 years I had the orange one the only thing that ever threatened to take the orange paint off the trim was a good pressure washer. Sure a screwdriver or putty knife would have done the trick but back then it was still new to me and I didn't want it to get too scratched up. Check this out, I collected a bunch of images of it and my most recent, '91 CRX HF, as you'll see my worries about it getting scratched up were all for nought: crx.serosis.net/
I just came across your channel today. Great videos. Great reviews. I'm a huge fan of the EF and HF platforms, they're are becoming more and more rare and it's a shame. I'm glad to see others share the same respect for these old school beauties. Keep it up.
@@GarageBuiltHondas if you ever decide to sell some, or need to buy something let me know. We still have a few in NJ that need some place with good weather to survive.
Just stumbled across your channel. You got my sub. Keep up the good work. Its dope to see you and your dad bonding over cars and spending some quality time at the track.
I have to say this. Honda’s are very universal with suspension. The reason being is they use multi link suspension on the front and sometimes on the rear. The factory springs rates are pretty high. So these Chinese coilovers will be ok for now on a Honda.. but if I put it on my gc8 wrx, they would be absolutely awful. I’ve been in cars with these coilovers. Yeah if you’re a tight ass buy these Chinese coilovers but if you really love the feel of going around corners, spend a bit extra. It’s worth it. Trust me. You’ll love every time you get in and out of the car
These are great for Honda's...so far. I can't stress it enough and I'm always mentioning that I want to see if they last. The price justifies it when you're buying a Honda for 1k or so.
Am on the process to change all the shocks on my Ef hatch, am on budget and this coil overs looks good, my ef is a daily so i hope to this aren’t feeling to bumpy , cause the streets on country are a little bit “shi***”, thanks for the excellent review and help for the community bro ! Greetings from Honduras 🇭🇳
Some are decent.. I had GODSPEED on my last Civic EJ1 and they were great. Not expensive and not cheap junk. They gave an excellent ride, and had adjustable damper.
@@GarageBuiltHondas my corolla only has 105hp (which is really slow) & if my city had a race track, I would test them out anyway & see how my car performs on coilovers
Thanks bro I'm in the middle of buying a set for my 05 corolla but after watching this I will get it and make sure I set it properly 😉 eBay coilovers 🤣
Ok you may not want to believe me but im saying the truth: Im 13 and my dad bought an 800€ opel Kadett c 2 door sedan 1974. It was and is my favourite car and he "gave it to me". I have been saving up my allowance for months and i want to lower the car and add bbs rs wheels. I think it will look good. This video is very helpful
@@GarageBuiltHondas i have news. My bully knows that i love that car more than my life, and im scared not for myself but for Kermit (i gave it that name cause its green and it looks live a happy frog in the day) but i had 30 minutes sitting outside of my house looking at it. *I LOVE IT!*
excellent fair review, iv had teins, bc racing coilovers, meister R's and these, for street use they are great, soft as stock when u want them to and stiffer when you fancy the odd raceday. i also think they could use a stiffer spring for the track but for daily and street use they work really well, very much like a set of meister coilovers. and did anyone mention how damn cheap they are haha ,i paid 120 delivered >
Fantastic video brother, I know I just commented on another video lol. But love the knowledge you showed and the camera angles. Love the copper pearl color of the crx. Very clean
I bought these same ones for my prelude, lowers the fronts maybe a quarter of an inch but that’s all, love how they ride though. wish they’d go lower is the only thing.
Good job on the video and good advice. I installed similar Rev9 coilovers and I love them. I did a video on my channel of the install and will be making a review video soon, I've already started shooting the raw footage. @
Awesome footage, I just ordered a set a few moments ago for my Rx8,supposedly the new set they have are better in quality seals and fluids,I hope so, I had to order since the previous coilovers the rear left showing signs of leakage the whole bottom half is covered in oil. (besides that it looks like it’s a different way to adjust height on it, doesn’t have that bottom collar ,I think to adjust it you got to take off bottom of coilover too spin it ,, odd because I never saw that style) and since I got the car I always felt like the car was leaning a little to the back left then I saw the tire was having way more wear than the other three, I was so close to getting the Godspeed ones but damn I rather pay less than half in stone that has more good than bad news.
Got a set of these coming for my Accord. Mainly because I just went from some cheapo 15's to a fresh set of 5 spoke 18's and I want to close up the fender gap.
I recently bought Mostplus brand adjustable coilovers for my '96 corolla they came out to $295.54 the stock suspension (still installed) on my corolla feels sketchy cause its bouncy & specifically the rear driver side strut, it needs replacement asap but its my daily so I don't want it stiff as a rock or too soft so I basically want the perfect balance of stiffness & softness so the ride quality is smooth
Just ordered a set for my '92 Celica ST. I just put bigger brakes off a Camry on it. How it stops with authority. I have a 3SGE Turbo VVTI & 5 speed that I need to install. Now i have a 1.6 4AFE & Automatic. I only paid $300.00 for the car and it runs great, but is sorely lacking in the power department. I would love to get the parts to make it AWD.
@@Alexander-we6ub bruh please don't! Those shits literally were clunking out of the box wore my suspension the front don't lower like the back do and when I put stock struts the right side sat higher even before stock struts so the stock strut brand wasn't the problem
@@GarageBuiltHondas Az.Orlly. or Advd... not surprised. Seems like "somebody" shoulda invented a lithium 12v replacement for acid lead batteries that doesn't need an alternator...
my question is how do they ride weight wise I want to put them on my daily but I like me the heavier set females so how is this Guna ride when I got a 300 pound passenger ?
For the price of these coilovers $300, cant complain at all, you get what you pay. I had them on my honda for 2 years, daily and track 2times no issue. It lowers ur car but tbh you will sacrifice ride quality, just cant compare these with $1200 coilovers.
Not to mention that, I personally think these ebay coilovers for light vehicles (like honda) are acceptable, still lil bouncy. But for heavy vehicles like 350z, it will be a bounce house
@ 5:44 man when i saw this i was kinda mad lol. My coilovers just arrived today and its way too hot to install them now. I figured id watch this just make sure i dont miss anything. Will do it tonight when its nice and cool.
Jon, great review on these coilovers. I always wonder how they were. And the camera in the finder well, that was a great idea. I will have to try these out just to see on my daily. I have 2 EG’s, but I’m a Honda guy for life. Any possibility you will do clips in the future on an EG? Keep up the good work with the Rex. It’s looking good. 👍🏽
Thanks David. I'm not really an EG guy but you probably knew that. I'm just a huge fan of the EF's. I highly doubt I'd get one but if I did it'd have to be a coupe. My wife wants a Del Sol one day so maybe that'll pop up first. Appreciate the support my man!!
I went D2 RS. After a lot of trial and error over the years with "ebay parts" I learned that generally you get what you pay for. Post up after some extended use, I'd be interested to see the long term performance.
Absolutely! I'll be making a video in November after the last track event and checking to see if any are leaking. Through 3 track events they are a-ok!
@garagebuilthondas 4:38 your not supposed to make height adjustments like that ! The spring is prefixed from the manufacture at a default setting . Your supposed to spin the shaft to make adjustments hope it’s still holding up .
You're not looking closely enough. The perches are locked against one another. When you do that, you can now crank it and raise/lower the entire assembly without affecting preload of the spring.
thinking of getting these for my ek hatch .. plan on keeping the car as a daily for another year or so.., just for stance purposes.... would you recommend so far??? PLEASE do an update video in the near future- not many people do! thanks
I do recommend. I cannot comment on lifespan though. I'm going to make another video on these sometime around Thanksgiving. Our last track event is the weekend before Thanksgiving then I'd like to take the coils off and see if any are leaking and how they have felt throughout the course of the season.
Are you getting any type of sping noise when turning at low speed cause i saw some videos they have to be greased before installing to avoid spring bind
I've got a set of these on my 4th gen ("EF") sedan and I'm not really happy with how they ride on the streets to be honest, super stiff and bouncy regardless of damping setting. Also two of the shocks were leaking out of the box and one had no fluid left in it so I had to pay to get two new bodies sent. I'm sure for track use they are fine but unless you live somewhere with super smooth roads I'd hesitate to recommend them for road use.

I really enjoyed this content, I'm new to building a 88crx awd (s-1built all d way baby) and this video have me sold on these coil overs so much goes into a build and when u don't know this is great!
These seem great for being a budget coilover you can’t beat that price for the adjustability that you have especially if your a new driver learning to adjust suspension
Its pretty rare to see actual track tests of this kind of product. Im surprised there wasnt any dislike of them at that performance.
They're solid for a weekend track kind of dude. This car is built to have a little fun, if you want to be more competitive then something better would be needed.
Well, you've convinced me lol. I'm getting me a set! Next is a 5speed swap (not about that automatic life) but cleanest EF I've seen in years so I had too. Mpfi and 5speed swap then turbo it and I'll be happy... For now hahaha

@@GarageBuiltHondas I had a quick question, cylinder 1's valves are burnt white and the rest are black covered in soot any idea what that would be?
@@efnmadaboutcivics88 too lean. Possible injector not flowing as well.
@@GarageBuiltHondas I kinda figured, I'm hoping all this fixes me not passing emissions lol I had to run it lean and get her through that way. Thanks Jon you are the most informative person ever when it comes to the EF community. I appreciate all the help and info you have provided over the months lol you're the greatest
Sadly I still haven't got the issue of the factory defective adjustment knob resolved after 2 weeks of emailing back and forth between someone with broken English from China. Took almost a week to finally get someone to respond. Beware ppl, customer service is almost non existent if you are unlucky enough to need it. That being said, Ive had mine on for a little more than 3 weeks and I really like them otherwise. I changed the preload and set it to basically zero bc their preload was completely different in each coilover. Also running nearly a 3 finger gap with a couple clicks away from full stiff... On 3 out of 4 corners at least 🤣
I hope they take care of you!
What I find amazing is the color of your CRX (orange-red) looks exactly like the color of my old one/parts car. It's interesting that two different people colored their CRX's the same. Or maybe the same person owned both yours and mine at some point and just loved that color. Painting style nearly matches as well, just sprayed haphazardly and on the trim pieces as well.
I believe some people liked the OEM maroon color found on them originally I actually really like this color. I'd like to get outside and paint the moldings back to black and try to chip the rest of the paint off of the bumper moldings too.
@@GarageBuiltHondas For the 10 years I had the orange one the only thing that ever threatened to take the orange paint off the trim was a good pressure washer. Sure a screwdriver or putty knife would have done the trick but back then it was still new to me and I didn't want it to get too scratched up.
Check this out, I collected a bunch of images of it and my most recent, '91 CRX HF, as you'll see my worries about it getting scratched up were all for nought: crx.serosis.net/
CRXs are like big go carts. I loved my 88, if it hadn’t been such a rust bucket I’d still have it.
Would you reccomend if it were in better condition? I dont know much about Subaru as a brand
Logan Enlow CRX was made by Honda. I have Subies, and love them.
I just came across your channel today. Great videos. Great reviews. I'm a huge fan of the EF and HF platforms, they're are becoming more and more rare and it's a shame. I'm glad to see others share the same respect for these old school beauties. Keep it up.
Thanks for the comment and support! It means a lot! 👍
@@GarageBuiltHondas if you ever decide to sell some, or need to buy something let me know. We still have a few in NJ that need some place with good weather to survive.
Just stumbled across your channel. You got my sub. Keep up the good work. Its dope to see you and your dad bonding over cars and spending some quality time at the track.
I have those same coilovers on my 8th gen civic and they are great 👍 in my opinion.. they do the job and the price is reasonable
Thanks for the input💪
Awesome vid man, clean install and stance. Love the track footage
I have to say this. Honda’s are very universal with suspension. The reason being is they use multi link suspension on the front and sometimes on the rear. The factory springs rates are pretty high. So these Chinese coilovers will be ok for now on a Honda.. but if I put it on my gc8 wrx, they would be absolutely awful. I’ve been in cars with these coilovers. Yeah if you’re a tight ass buy these Chinese coilovers but if you really love the feel of going around corners, spend a bit extra. It’s worth it. Trust me. You’ll love every time you get in and out of the car
These are great for Honda's...so far. I can't stress it enough and I'm always mentioning that I want to see if they last. The price justifies it when you're buying a Honda for 1k or so.
Those ones you had are for a ek9 96-00 civic is why there bigger single cam cause it looks the same as mine on strut fork with AL
👍
Am on the process to change all the shocks on my Ef hatch, am on budget and this coil overs looks good, my ef is a daily so i hope to this aren’t feeling to bumpy , cause the streets on country are a little bit “shi***”, thanks for the excellent review and help for the community bro ! Greetings from Honduras 🇭🇳
Greetings buddy! They are a pretty decent set for the price!
Jodel!
Some are decent.. I had GODSPEED on my last Civic EJ1 and they were great. Not expensive and not cheap junk. They gave an excellent ride, and had adjustable damper.
I agree. I've seen some solid Megan ones also.
I got my coilovers installed on my '96 corolla today
huge ass difference lol
just wish my city had a race track
👍
@@GarageBuiltHondas my corolla only has 105hp (which is really slow) & if my city had a race track, I would test them out anyway & see how my car performs on coilovers
You should...we have a few 100hp older Hondas that race at our track. They're still fun to drive.
Thanks bro I'm in the middle of buying a set for my 05 corolla but after watching this I will get it and make sure I set it properly 😉 eBay coilovers 🤣
👍
Ok you may not want to believe me but im saying the truth:
Im 13 and my dad bought an 800€ opel Kadett c 2 door sedan 1974. It was and is my favourite car and he "gave it to me". I have been saving up my allowance for months and i want to lower the car and add bbs rs wheels. I think it will look good. This video is very helpful
Excellent, hope you enjoy it!
@@GarageBuiltHondas i have news. My bully knows that i love that car more than my life, and im scared not for myself but for Kermit (i gave it that name cause its green and it looks live a happy frog in the day) but i had 30 minutes sitting outside of my house looking at it. *I LOVE IT!*
Very cool, means you'll really enjoy it
@@GarageBuiltHondas i will enjoy it, thanks for this awesome video
thank you for such a great review. this helps me out on trying to find a nice coilover for my daily eg8
Literally just fell asleep to this music! 😍
👍
excellent fair review, iv had teins, bc racing coilovers, meister R's and these, for street use they are great, soft as stock when u want them to and stiffer when you fancy the odd raceday. i also think they could use a stiffer spring for the track but for daily and street use they work really well, very much like a set of meister coilovers. and did anyone mention how damn cheap they are haha ,i paid 120 delivered >
Agree completely!
From where? I see them for 200 on ebay. Thinking of getting some for my 240sx. So they are worth it for daily street and lowering use?
You could make that dent above right rear wheel 90% better by putting your hand inside the trunk and pushing out on it. Try it!
I'll give it a shot!!
Fantastic video brother, I know I just commented on another video lol. But love the knowledge you showed and the camera angles. Love the copper pearl color of the crx. Very clean
Thanks man!! I don't mind comments one bit, I encourage them!!
I bought these same ones for my prelude, lowers the fronts maybe a quarter of an inch but that’s all, love how they ride though. wish they’d go lower is the only thing.
This set can go pretty low on this car. Not sure why yours is set up different.
Garage Built Hondas Dont know man, hardly lowered it at all but i can put the muffler on the ground for the tears
Good job on the video and good advice. I installed similar Rev9 coilovers and I love them. I did a video on my channel of the install and will be making a review video soon, I've already started shooting the raw footage. @
Nice!
Awesome footage, I just ordered a set a few moments ago for my Rx8,supposedly the new set they have are better in quality seals and fluids,I hope so,
I had to order since the previous coilovers the rear left showing signs of leakage the whole bottom half is covered in oil.
(besides that it looks like it’s a different way to adjust height on it, doesn’t have that bottom collar ,I think to adjust it you got to take off bottom of coilover too spin it ,, odd because I never saw that style)
and since I got the car I always felt like the car was leaning a little to the back left then I saw the tire was having way more wear than the other three,
I was so close to getting the Godspeed ones but damn I rather pay less than half in stone that has more good than bad news.
nothing like some max peeding rods am I right ladies
Hahahaha
The ladies love them the men and lesbians are jealous of them except the gays they also love them
Damn
Super vid, very informative! I shall make my purchase now. 😁
👍
Great video, supporting your channel!!!
Thank you!
Got a set of these coming for my Accord. Mainly because I just went from some cheapo 15's to a fresh set of 5 spoke 18's and I want to close up the fender gap.
👍
I know that track! Nice review and real world testing. Man i miss NM.
That's in NM? Where?!
g.co/kgs/QnQLso
The exhaust sounds great!
Thanks! Skunk2 catback
Came here to find out if I should buy the suspension for my civic. Ended up just listening to that sweet vtec. So should I buy them or not
Up to you man. Can you afford a better brand?
I recently bought Mostplus brand adjustable coilovers for my '96 corolla
they came out to $295.54
the stock suspension (still installed) on my corolla feels sketchy cause its bouncy & specifically the rear driver side strut, it needs replacement asap
but its my daily so I don't want it stiff as a rock or too soft so I basically want the perfect balance of stiffness & softness so the ride quality is smooth
Just ordered a set for my '92 Celica ST. I just put bigger brakes off a Camry on it. How it stops with authority. I have a 3SGE Turbo VVTI & 5 speed that I need to install. Now i have a 1.6 4AFE & Automatic. I only paid $300.00 for the car and it runs great, but is sorely lacking in the power department. I would love to get the parts to make it AWD.
Nice, those Celicas are really cool. I've always liked them
What is the disk diameter on Camry , and is it bolt on?
just done use them in a wet country, the rust up real quick here in the uk. had them on my lexus, within a month i couldnt adjust them anymore
Ouch. That's terrible.
I too would like to thank them for sending them out. Not enough reviews
👍🙏
Great video man, well done!!
Nice video on the tracks love it.
Grabbing some of these max speeding rods for my 99 Avalon comes Friday
How did they turn out, looking to get some for my avalon
@@Alexander-we6ub bruh please don't! Those shits literally were clunking out of the box wore my suspension the front don't lower like the back do and when I put stock struts the right side sat higher even before stock struts so the stock strut brand wasn't the problem
I regret this so much smh
You have saved me a lifetime mate , and I'd be spewing if I was you , unbelievable how they can sell such a garbage product
These coilovers or koni shocks with eibach springs for track driving?
Koni, but with coilovers. Then you can pick some spring rates of your preference.
Same setup I have on my CRX. been happy with them so far. Once I can AutoX, we will see how they do.
Keep me updated if you remember!
How long you had yours installed
How are they holding up?
ua-cam.com/video/Ks-NzEWDsGw/v-deo.html
Mine have been doing well. No leaks. Only thing is that the plated parts have been rusting. Iowa weather tho
try cleaning the battery terminals, main alt cable, and grounds before replacing alt. my wagon used to do the same thing at lower rpms.
No luck. Ended up being the reman alternator was junk.
@@GarageBuiltHondas Az.Orlly. or Advd... not surprised. Seems like "somebody" shoulda invented a lithium 12v replacement for acid lead batteries that doesn't need an alternator...
I know its been 4 years sooo what do you think? How was your experience? How long did it last?
I only used for about 2 years. They did well before I sold them and upgraded. I never used them for daily driving though. They were just tracked on
my question is how do they ride weight wise I want to put them on my daily but I like me the heavier set females so how is this Guna ride when I got a 300 pound passenger ?
Nice .. so witch are stiffer none adjustable or adjustable coils ? Thanks
I was just about to order agx and springs and boots. About 420ish. I'll have to check this out. Putting together a super cheap track car
I've had a good experience with them so far. I hope they don't leak anytime soon.
For the price of these coilovers $300, cant complain at all, you get what you pay. I had them on my honda for 2 years, daily and track 2times no issue. It lowers ur car but tbh you will sacrifice ride quality, just cant compare these with $1200 coilovers.
Not to mention that, I personally think these ebay coilovers for light vehicles (like honda) are acceptable, still lil bouncy. But for heavy vehicles like 350z, it will be a bounce house
@ 5:44 man when i saw this i was kinda mad lol. My coilovers just arrived today and its way too hot to install them now. I figured id watch this just make sure i dont miss anything. Will do it tonight when its nice and cool.
Looks good brother those coilovers were the ones i was looking at.
Nice man! For the lancer?
Yes i was looking for some i believe i showed it to you!
Jon, great review on these coilovers. I always wonder how they were. And the camera in the finder well, that was a great idea. I will have to try these out just to see on my daily.
I have 2 EG’s, but I’m a Honda guy for life. Any possibility you will do clips in the future on an EG?
Keep up the good work with the Rex. It’s looking good. 👍🏽
Thanks David.
I'm not really an EG guy but you probably knew that. I'm just a huge fan of the EF's. I highly doubt I'd get one but if I did it'd have to be a coupe. My wife wants a Del Sol one day so maybe that'll pop up first.
Appreciate the support my man!!
I think you will find the adjustable valve is for rebound damping only and has nothing to do with compression stiffness, thats the springs job.
Correct. 👍
Mines are comming in tomorrow for my civic, hipe it all goes well woth this budget coilover set
Definitely, let me know how it goes!
just got mine for my project 05 scion xb!!! cruiser!
Nice 👍
Do ef parts interchange da parts ? I want these for my 91 integra but I don’t know if they will fit I couldn’t find some that do only ef
Yes, they will fit perfectly
Bro nice job you are another level kosei k1 and this sunspension are best choise. Keep going honda lover i hope to use a carbon hood 👍
Thanks buddy
any recent updates on these coilovers? Thinking lowering my honda Element 2005
I went D2 RS. After a lot of trial and error over the years with "ebay parts" I learned that generally you get what you pay for. Post up after some extended use, I'd be interested to see the long term performance.
Absolutely! I'll be making a video in November after the last track event and checking to see if any are leaking. Through 3 track events they are a-ok!
I have these on my Integra it said Spacers required for Integras.......they weren’t needed after all they went in with no issues
Thanks for that feedback!
How do they drive man? I bought some after this review but I'm interested since I have an Integra too
d m their really stiff gotta take it slow on speedbumps but they are adjustable happy with height adjustment good overall for the price
Thanks Jon, through test and review, Cheers Greg from New Zealand
You're welcome
@garagebuilthondas 4:38 your not supposed to make height adjustments like that ! The spring is prefixed from the manufacture at a default setting . Your supposed to spin the shaft to make adjustments hope it’s still holding up .
You're not looking closely enough. The perches are locked against one another. When you do that, you can now crank it and raise/lower the entire assembly without affecting preload of the spring.
thinking of getting these for my ek hatch .. plan on keeping the car as a daily for another year or so.., just for stance purposes.... would you recommend so far??? PLEASE do an update video in the near future- not many people do! thanks
I do recommend. I cannot comment on lifespan though. I'm going to make another video on these sometime around Thanksgiving. Our last track event is the weekend before Thanksgiving then I'd like to take the coils off and see if any are leaking and how they have felt throughout the course of the season.
Both rears are leaking on mine with less than 1k miles, don't do it lol
I wonder what the deal was with yours. Sucks you got a terrible set.
Are you getting any type of sping noise when turning at low speed cause i saw some videos they have to be greased before installing to avoid spring bind
Zero. And I track it which is much harder abuse than daily.
Cool ty for quick reply
What is you preload set at being they dont come with any type of spec sheets lol
these were actually on my last miata when i got it, they were pretty shot and had cut springs so i cant really comment on how good they were lol
Lol
Great shot on the side by side headcam/coil view! What was the whining sound coming from btw?
Thanks! I have a bad differential bearing in the transmission that I need to replace.
@@GarageBuiltHondas gotcha I figured it was either something needing a fix or you had a solid mount somewhere, dope video as always! take it easy.
very nice video, you did a great job testing the coil overs and having the split screen to see the way they rected was very nice to see.
Thank you
What size nut is needed for rear coilover lower control arms
M10 x 1.25.
I've got a set of these on my 4th gen ("EF") sedan and I'm not really happy with how they ride on the streets to be honest, super stiff and bouncy regardless of damping setting. Also two of the shocks were leaking out of the box and one had no fluid left in it so I had to pay to get two new bodies sent. I'm sure for track use they are fine but unless you live somewhere with super smooth roads I'd hesitate to recommend them for road use.
Thanks for the input. I'm going to try a set on my EF sedan soon too. Maybe it'll feel the same, hoping it doesn't.
whats your honest opinion on these after a few months with them on? looking at these for daily driving.
Here ya go! ua-cam.com/video/Ks-NzEWDsGw/v-deo.html
Cool update in November. Its going to be a while before I buy some. Because I gotta get my swap done First.
I'll let you how they do!!
