So I'm browsing the net and my friend IM's me and fills me in on a
coilover kit being offered by the guys over at Monster Motorworks.
Expecting the price to be wayy up there, she hits me with a bombshell
and let's me know that they are only $250 for a set.

Excited, I went on to the http://www.monstermotorworks.com website
just to see what they are offering and how they look.

Hmm.

Now, my question is, why are these coilovers SO DAMN LOW?
I mean, compare the price to other coilover kits out there and this is
seriously STUPID LOW, haha.

Has anyone tried these out yet? I'm about to buy springs for $150, but these
guys have me pondering if I should save a little more for there coilover kit.
But... you get what you pay for, right? So it has me questioning if they are even
of good quality and durable for commuting.

Or am I mistakened?

Is it NOT a complete set? Because I just read it and it said...

"By offering the sleeve and spring portion of the coilover, you have the
choice of your shock combo, whether it be an adjustable shock or regular
high performance shocks."

So may that be the reason why it's cheap?


If anyone has any insight, please fill me in!

Those are just coilover sleeves, not a true coilover setup. That's why so cheap.

Adjustable springs - no struts/shocks with 'em. That's how they consider 'em coilovers.

^^ exactly adjustable springs. What really matters is the spring rate.

Are they worth it or no??

Personally I wouldn't go with something like that. Normally they have really high spring rates and just create the convenience of raising and lowering the car while reducing the ride quality.

Are they worth it or no??

No. Being cheap with suspension components can lead to unsatisfactory results more often than not.

If you want to spend $250 on springs and sleeves, buy a set of sleeves on eBay for about $40, then call Eibach and get custom rated custom length springs made to your exact specs for about $100 a pair.

Not some random-brand springs with no listed free lengths or rates, that make your car more "aggressive". Who writes that copy, anyway?

Our car comes stock with coilovers. Thats the style setup we have. All this is, is an adjustable SPRING that could either go on your stock shocks or on an aftermarket set.

That's what I would suggest you do if you just want sleeves. All you need are the collars from the Ebay ones and get some Eibach racing springs. You'll need 2 1/2 inch diameter springs (if I remember correctly) and you can pretty much pic what height you want to give you more adjustment. Here's a site that sells Eibach racing springs. Oh and what most people do when they run sleeves is cut the spring pearch off the strut and leave about 1/4 inch of metal on it to hold the collar. It'll give you more adjustment.

Oh and for the record there is nothing wrong with sleeve coilovers. Both me and my brother run a set of Ground Controls on our cars and they're great. GC also uses Eibach springs so they ride real nice to. Put them with a set of Koni or KYB adjustables and you're set.
