    warning to those buying cheap coilover sleeves






    As you can see, the collar is actually widening from the load of the car and will eventually break.

    Ive used them b4 and found them quite good for the street. Just a cheap altnernative. But i would never take it to the track. Nothing was wrong with mine when i sold if after years being dropped 4 inches.

    How old is that one?

    I don't like coil overs. Imagine the spring rate you have at max height is the same as when your dropped, Doesn't sound good also every time you adjust the height you will need to align your wheels.
