ebay - elcheap coilover springs

[iced]

just intalled em 2day got em of ebay for $100 deliverd and are shit VERY VERY STIFF the mechanic that installed em for me said to get new springs asap but for the ajustable pice keep it it would do the job but springs need to go.....

i go apex springs but are too long should i cut em or get new 1s that would do the job......

if you cut the spring it will increase the spring rate.
also if you are using them with OEM shocks you have a high chance of skidding off the road, hitting a rail, or oncoming car because the stock dampers cannot sufficiently control the stiff springs and keep your car on the road and hence your braking will suffer also.

your solution will be to get new springs custom made to suit the dampers that are on the car. if the dampers are adjustable .eg KYB AGX, KONI YELLOW then do as above.
if you using OEM dampers i HIGHLY suggest you remove the coilover sleeves. You will do nothing for the safety of your own self or other drivers on the road.

16-18kg springs on OEM shocks will be plain stupid.
16-18kg springs on KONI yellow or KYB AGX is also plain stupid. i can imagine even with the dampers maxed out the suspension is be riding like on worn/blown shocks.
