those are NOT "coilovers" so to speak - they are "spring sleeves" to sit on normal shocks.

I wouldnt get them - get some lowered springs and better shocks like KONI etc

so how do these sleeves work? are they like a compessing attachment for the springs?

they sit where the normal spring sits. They are a shorter + stiffer spring.
The purpose is , so you can adjust the height of ride. (move sleeve up or down)

hmmmm, interesting idea

Narhhh Never get these... Ask Bong AKA Triptaka The most shittest ride you will ever get, Not to mention to stuff round with your Suss system. If u want to go lower then get some good shocks and Springs, If u want lower and Handling then Get a set of coilovers.

i've used these before, and they are fine except for the occasional front shocks bottomin out. lol.bongs' got a shit ride becuz it was dumped on the lowest settin poossible. lol
lowered springs + good shocks will cost almost 1g' for a complete setup installed, WHICH is the same price as entry level coilvers. AND I KNOW THATS NOT WHAT U WANT TO PAY.
Just get king springs super low's or those "sleeeves" and use it with ur stock shock. The whole thing shouldnt cost u more then 350bux installed and you'll have a sweet low looking ride.

[dc2dc2dc2]

because u dunno how to push enter

[barefootbonzai]

them coilover sleeves are the shittest things ever invented. You'll just be wasting time and money if you buy them.

either buy some proper coilovers, or just get springs if you just want your car lowered.

^^^has anyone who made comments actually tried them??

i'm not trying to defend my purchase but they feel better to me than the kings i had which were too soft resulting in bottoming out.

[bigjo5]

ive got them on my car.. well i wouldnt of bought it since they came with the car and i can tell u , there pretty shit lol.. only good thing is u can adjust so its lower or higer lol.. and the rest is jsut crap.. mines uncomforatble when it goes over humps and bumps.. mine bounces.and its not lowerd as much
