Just wondering if these things were any good? Anyone have them? Any opinions?

I've got them and love them! Had 'em about 1 1/2 years now.

 

do you need to do alignment every time you adjust the ride height?

 

When I first put them on and lowered the car I had it aligned. Since I dropped it only an inch in the rear and 1/2 inch in the front I was able to get it back to stock alignment. I've since had it aligned once more because I replaced all 4 tires and it had been over a year since the first time.

 

What's the highest you can adjust them to? The Web site says 0.5" lower than stock. Is that about right?

Thanks.

 

Sorry, can't answer that. I've only done one adjustment and that was to where I am now. I could probably go another 1/2 in the rear and an inch in the front but then my alignment would be shot and the camber would tear up the tires in no time. What are you looking to do?

 

I only want to lower the car 5/8" from the stock height, so 0.5" as it says on the Web site is very close. I'm just wondering how accurate the Web site is.

 

I was going to pick up a set of these - but I was worried about the sleeves inserts wearing out (the rubber rings?)

What mileage have you put on them, and how much harder are they over stock?

Thanks!

 

spider,

I don't think the web site is correct. I am positive you can go postive .5 inches (higher than stock height).

Right now the sleeve is halfway through the coils, and I have a tight 2 finger gap with the stock tires/wheels. Overall, I estimate my car is lowered about an inch.

I wouldn't recommend the coil over system to persons that are going to slam the hell out of the car...because the system uses the stock shocks; lowering the car too much will have negative effects because the stock shocks were not meant to travel that low.

I have had the coilovers since they first came out. Probably have at least 50,000 miles on them. They are not harsh...just a bit firmer than stock. Great quality, great fitment...I love them!

 

offroadr35,

Nice avatar by the way!
