watching..

make sure they are good quality before you put htem on your car, suspension is a very big thing, and safety is a very high conern.

i personally wouldnt use them even if i got htem for free..

and i know these arent "hackers". this guy is a representative from Mimo USA. i called him earlier today, and he was a nice guy.

he told me it's going to be shipped from the manufacturer and will provide me with a tracking number tomorrow.

and to those people who doesn't know.. these aren't TRUE coilovers. they're adjustable coilovers. these type of coilovers are mostly used for ride height adjustments, the ride quality is questionable. but i'll find out once i get these on.

Not saying its a scam... but you can't assume somebody is a good person from a phone conversation. Con artist are good at lying, thats how they pull in the green. As for the coilovers... when the cheapest set is well over 600 bucks and you find some for 80 bucks that should be a dead giveaway right there not to buy them. You get what you pay for regardless of who its from on ebay. I say Pass.

technically speaking... we already have "coilovers" on the car... the term coilover means a coilover over a strut.

Now, i couldn't tell much from the pic... but there doesn't seem to be ANY way of adjusting the ride height.

So this is all ur getting for $250? I would just go with tein or trd springs... something that you know will work... not a set of sleeve coilovers.

.....uhh..

that's why i got it for $86.20 shipped on eBay. i wouldn't spend $250. that's why i was giving everybody a heads up to the ebay link on my first post, sir.

this set of sleeve coilovers gives you the advantage of adjusting your ride height, instead of sticking the the "fixed" height of regular lowering springs.

Tein springs would've been a better buy for a few $$ more. Those adjustable perches just aren't stable enough. They probably work alright for cars under 2200lbs.

nope, they're WORSE for cars under 2200lbs. they bounce like CRAZY. but that also depends on what kind of coilovers.

i've read reviews of these, and they're pretty decent.. compared to their "OG" super tuner coilovers.. those were horrible, non-stop 1 out of 5 ratings. so i guess weapon-r picked up from there and made these.

but anyway, i'll be posting pics when i receive them. then i'll get my local shop to install them, align it, then get new tires (i still have my stock potenzas).. what's good daily driver tires that has good grip? i heard falken azenis are good.

Don't buy that POS, my friend had them on his integra and they bounce more that a cheap hooker with a 5 dollar boobjob.

I'm giving you advice from first hand experience. I had eBay coilover springs on my 240sx when those ricer springs first came out almost 3 years ago. Not quite Weapon-R but the design is pretty much the same. The springs are softer than stock and they'll blow your stock shocks pretty quick. Actually, my rear shocks blew a few days after installing them so I had to switch the rears back to stock to get the car ready for a touge meet. I tested the front springs setup in the mountains and the front handling was just BAD. The front would feel like it was up in the air when I was taking sharp turns and the spring would literally come off the strut when you go over a bump.

Reason why they work alright on Hondas is because FWD Hondas weigh less than most cars. My friends also had it on their Hondas and they didn't like em'. Weapon-R is actually local to me and I know some people that used to work at the shop. They say most of their stuff is garbage except for their pricey intake kits but even those aren't worth the money.

Good luck with your springs.

Here are some things you should expect/look out for:

Ugly noise coming from front/rear due to the struts/shocks taking all the weight load
Front springs clunking on turns or when you go over a bump
Warped threads on perches
Allen screws on all perches coming loose or stuck
Springs would not seat straight after you take your car out for a drive
