I am going to put cut springs or eBay coilovers on my car, or cut the Teins, because that's how I roll!

No, it will handle better then my Teins. FOR REAL!
$$ Doesn't MEAN QUALITY!Comment

Not my point. You're destroying the suspension geometry by cutting the springs, or by installing eBay coilovers that WILL fail.In The Garage:

No they won't I have used them for years, I KNOW MANY IT GUYS WHO RUN THEM, THEY DON'T FAIL.
And as far as cutting springs, not ALWAYS bad if you know what you are doing, my 240 had cut springs and ride smoother then my friends S13 with full Tein coilovers.Comment

You need to make sure the threaded collars have a tight fit on the shock body and the seat (ring). If not, the collars will split. This is the case with any aluminum threaded collar BUT the ebay pieces have a lot greater tolerance. And so far as the springs... well, if you're not competing then it's probably not a big deal if a 400# springs really rates at 381# - right? And if the collapse, well, that corner will just sit on the shock top. Or you can swap out the kit springs for real springs.Comment

I am competing. And I might buy Eibach's to go on the collars. I have NEVER had a problem with them on any car.Comment

Theyre great......
...for a Lemons car.
Having I owned a few sets, I would sooner run stock then use that crap.sigpicComment

Glad you think so.
But I have had great success with them.
Damn noob.Comment

There's something to be said for buying and installing know entities on race cars. Even the good $tuff breaks on occasion. I've crashed from parts failure, so I personally wouldn't chance it with the collars on track.Comment

Like I said, I have been using them without a problem, and know people who use them without a problem, I have read stories, but half these stories are from idiots who mis-use items.Comment

Yeah...that was the point. I wouldnt put JUNK on my car either.Originally posted by FE3tMX5 View Post
Too many different reasons not too.
Ebay coilovers are best left to brokeass teenage ricers that need a 'drop' and
have no cash for quality suspension.sigpicComment
