Everyone says there a very good coilover especially for the money but Im sure you already know this if you fully read the FA thread, I planned on buying some with a 9/7 setup but good luck on getting a set. Apparently you can only buy them through group buys cause noone carries them as of yet, the only group buy I could find is going through the SXCNA and they have yet to get there shipment, apparently the story being told is that customs is holding there container, all the buyers are really pissed off at the GB coordinator, and most want their money back. Like I said Im looking for a set and if anyone can point me to a place to buy or a group buy then Im in.

I'm sorry, bounch bouncy is not a technical term, since 1998 only the K model Bounces have been able to be called Bouncy's so therefore the lower case b model bouncy's cannot be called bouncy except when they have a full word swap and implanted flux capacitor....

Just tryin to poke fun at you matt.. You go off on solo_mata_me about the bumper and reiterate technicalities, then here all you say here is bouncy bouncy.... all you need to do is find a happy medium

-----------------------

Back on topic, these coilovers interest me beacuse u can change springs on them to get different rates.. I saw some that were 7/5, some 9/7 and someone had 13/10 or something nuts. The price is also cheap but if its good enough for Jay its prob good enough for me..

oh and you can change out spring rates on any coilovers. I'm thinking about getting rid of my 6k springs (or keeping them for drag) and getting 10's instead. move the 8s to the rear, run 10s up front and a 10/8 he setup will be better


i dunno. maybe the technical term is they are fucking bouncy.

they are valved poorly from what i've ridden in them?


BOUNCY BOUNCY

ride in them and then you'll be tellin me


damn

i dunno, in most cases of coilovers that ive used you can solve bouncy bouncy by playing with the dampener adjustments, thats partially why they are there. I dunno, I'm going to go ride in jay's car and only 1.3's car to decide what I think... at 650 I can afford 2 of them for every pair of Tiens i could buy.. and that extra money can go towards hard tie rods, and TC rods, and possibly rear lower control arms (i MAY have bent one slightly drifting the gold coupe)
