Hello ozhonda members.
I'm considering to buy G4 coilovers for my Jazz but I want to hear some comment about it before I get them.
I've used G force coilovers but not G4. Has anyone used them before?

I've heard mixed things...they had leaking problems (probably old design) and they are quite a stiff ride.

Bang 4 buck sounds fitting.I personnally would prefer stock suspension to crap like this,honestly,you just wont get quality for $900,you get bang 4 buck,so if that's what your after,bonus.

nothing wrong with g4. same stuff with d2 and ksport. They are all made in taiwan same as buddyclub. Never had any problems. Mates and i have gone through at least 6 sets on different cars. If you are just looking to lower and upgrade from standard suspension than they are bang for buck

WHOA! Slow down sunshine! I didn't know there were 'rules' to Honda's??

Yup,I Love COMFORT.Would I sacrifice comfort for performance?

NEVER.

There is a happy medium for everybody I believe,the trick is finding it!

Beeza, i think you will find if your suspension is harder then stock, then within time you adjust to the feeling of your harder suspension and it feels as if it is normal.

Personally i would loose comfort for performance, but wouldn't loose comfort for looks.

That photo of the bent D2 is like all the Rota pics, we have no idea how it happened, why it happened, it's just a photo.

People suddenly make assumptions thinking that "they're cheap so they brake"

Also bear in mind, that photo was nearly 4 years ago, i'm sure they may have redesigned the coilover.

Try out ISC coilovers. They're apparently pretty good.

Thanks tmy!

I hear ya mate.

When I was driving only 100km's a week I might have sacrificed SOME comfort but now I'm doing 600+km's a week and NEED that comfort.I'm 34 now too,so if I was 18-24 it wouldn't worry me so much.

I have had both D2 and Ksport, they are all pretty much the same including G4 please read up on this..

That pic you refer too is some guy in NZ tracking his car, theses coils are bang for buck to get low down not top dollar Zeil or Tein coils for the track.
Also by the looks of it these guys probably installed them themselves and done a bodge job, causing them to fail under extreme conditions.

I Vouch for them if u want to get low or if you are on a budget.

you're right, the bent coilover is the one from NZ. was thinking of the other pic where the mount snapped off. if u kno the story than u would kno it happened in a D1 round. i'm assuming anyone that enters D1 would know what they're doing and are more than capable of installing a set of coilovers.

to mr180sx: the OP asked for comments. i gave a comment and a picture. no need to take it so personally and rant about it
