Exhaust v Coilovers

[**Ghost**]

Shite, i was in the process of getting my exhaust, when someone offered a full set of spoon coilovers for 650 bucks...

so what you gusy reckon? i've already got an ARC intake box, which helps the noise and response... should i be gong for the exhaust or the coils? what do u recon would increase the enjoyment of the car more in ur experience? being able to flat a corner, or better response/noise from an exhaust|?

i would get the coilovers, but most people do exhaust first.

you would probably "use" the exhaust more, but for 650, thats a damn good price for coilovers.
what sort of condition are they in? and are they adjustable? check these first, and check to see what spring rates they are, cos they might be really harsh

[CIVIC-R]

get the coil overs, cause that sounds like a pretty good once off special deal... plus they will substantially improve ur handling and ride height.

u didnt mention anything bout the exhaust being a special price, so jus get the exhaust later on when u get some more $$$ together..

[**Ghost**]

yeh they're on special... 999 normally or something... they are BRAND NEW

[joneblaze]

Go the suspension dude. You'll enjoy it so much more IMO> :)

[sesshoumaru]

only 999 normally for brand new Spoon coilovers??

hmm i dont think so dude!

but, if they are proper coilovers i'd buy them before the exhaust... since you weren't getting any special kind of exhaust anyway.

[**Ghost**]

do coilovers make THAT much of a differnece? in terms of cornering?

and i'm not really caring baout harsh ride... hahahaha me ass is made of platinum

[**Ghost**]

and u guys probably realise they dont come with aftermarket shocks... so i'll have to mount them to my stock shocks for a while...is that healthy

[VTEC16]

they dont come with aftermarket shocks

= springs, not coilovers.

[sesshoumaru]

hey man... do u know what coilovers are?

sounds like you are getting just springs...

[**Ghost**]

they are coilovers... wait asec... heres a noob question... do i actualy need shocks with coils or do i actually jus thave coils|

[sesshoumaru]

coilovers ARE height (usually damper too) adjustable shocks.

[**Ghost**]

............. i see... :twisted:

ok thanks...well to confirm they are coilovers, thanks for clearing that up, thats y the sorry guy was so confused

Spoon Sports Civic/Integra Coilovers

By assembling a normal damper, the height of the vehicle can be lowered, roll on winding roads can be suppressed, and both steering and safety can be improved.

Prices vary depending on application, please email us with your car type, year, model etc...


RRP $999

Our Price $699

Look like springs to me.....and i have no idea qhat they are saying about the "assembling a normal damper"...

[SPEEDCORE]

I'd be concerned about the condition of coilovers 2nd hand for that price.

I'm going against everyones advice here and I would keep saving and get a GOOD exhaust.

People underestimate what the stock EK4 suspension can do.

Attaching the springs to a shock??

[**Ghost**]

*sigh* and i thought it was such a good price... . :cry:

i think these ppl hvae no idea wot they are selling possibly... i'll try and check properly... but they arent responding to emails

[skoota]

I thought sppon coilovers were like at least $2,500 for the shitty ones!?!?! :? $600? Hmmm.... sounds odd to me - especially if you don't know the guy selling 'em.

[A'PEXi]
