I don't see the point in a shock and spring combo I'm just a Coilover type of guy

If you were in Sydney i could change your mind immediately!

A lot of people say that the ride "isn't bad" with their coilovers - but why settle for not bad when you can have excellent? And still keep the performance factor? High quality dampers and springs can give you both of these things - no one is willing to try it because they'd prefer to listen to a bunch of amateurs with nothing to compare their ebay special coilovers to...

^agry'd

try before you bash/become a coilover purist

pat-tran do you do ground control kits?

Nice one Pat.

I got an alcoholic ex-mate. When he doesn't have any cash, he scrapes together a couple of dollars in change and buys vanilla essence. He says it tastes 'not bad' with coffee lol.

No GC distributor in Australia mate...

bugger, thought so. anything similar?

We can make it, however because it would be one of at first the cost will be much more than the GC kit from the states...

Since we talking abou coilovers ...

Changed mine from Bwr to buddyclub today
Got my buddyclub set on stiffest setting
Not even stiff enough and I got race hasport engine mounts

Nice and comfy and bouncy

Man up coil over haters who like a spring and shock combo.

Coilovers for daily mmmmm

My kings lows (with stock shocks) have been fine for 100,000km. odometer is now at 270,000km

With a full car my prelude lowers to zero finger fender gaps and the ride height is still 9 or 10cm off the ground. With no passengers, the ride height is practical.
There's nothing wrong with them. They're value for money.

kings springs and cut springs

i cant tell the difference honestly..

not saying kings are bad. but they fell like oem but sitting lil bit lower

They definately have a stiffer spring rate compared to stock. Plus when the car is loaded, the progressive springs start working.

You can't expect them to be full stiff... They allow some suspension travel for ride comfort.

even with a full car on an interstate trip, I don't have any worries about bottoming out
