Question about custom coilovers
Wednesday, April 09, 2008 2:34 PM
Ok so I had an idea about piece together a coilover set up...I only know a little about suspension this is hwy Im asking you guys......I have the gay 30 dollars coilovers on my car right now ( I know make fun ha ha) ...But I was thinking about buying another set and just using the collar and not the actual spring it comes with..I was going to buy the Eibach sport lines and put them on the ebay collars to compress them if I want it lower than it would be with just using the eibachs with out the collars........opinions ???

makes no sense....why would you spend a bunch of money on a coilover set-up and not use part of it....but instead use some cheap @!#$

The Sportlines are not coilovers, they are regular springs. Coilovers are smaller diameter, and a consistant diameter. Regular springs taper at one end, made to fit into the factory perch. If you wanted to get different springs for your collars, you would need to get coilover springs of the same diameter as yours. To my knowledge, none of the coilovers for our car are available without the whole kit, and if you're going to buy the whole kit, you might as well use the better parts.

The Ground Control pieces can be purchased seperately, you just need to call them directly.

Why you would do this is beyond me though. As stated, you would already need to buy the 2.5" springs (not Sportlines, or any other lowering spring for that matter), so why not buy the whole setup? You would actually be better off using the sleeves and perches you have now and putting decent springs on them instead of doing what you want to do.
