JmP6889928 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just wondered if anyone has any experience with these or has even ever seen these coilovers. I did some reading on them and found good reviews but only one of the reviews I read was a Subaru. http://www.ebay.com/itm/190664610154?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 With all the photos below, it seems that they are, at least, involved in actual racing of some types including drifting. Opinions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 they look like cheap garbage and they are priced to match. Id stay away. any company can get their name plastered on drift car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO....I know, but it does at least show they are willing to spend money to support SOME kind of racing...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 they way i see it, we have plenty tried and true coilover options sold by respected vendors on the site. Id go with what works from people with proven reps rather than an unknown off of ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 How about the Tokico Strut/shock? Has anyone tried these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Absolutely. It is much better than the coils you posted before. If you search, you'll find the most recommended/popular setup on this forum is Koni yellow struts with Epic Engineering springs. I have it and it's great. A nice, streetable (clears speed bumps and curb stops), fairly comfortable and sporty ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 OK...after research and many scratchings of the cranium, I'm thinking the Koni yellow inserts with Swift Springs and RCE camber plates. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Sounds good if the camber plates are for the right car and if you need the extra adjustability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sounds good if the camber plates are for the right car and if you need the extra adjustability. In looking further, I think your idea with the Epic (Eibach) springs would be the better combo. I'm absolutely NOT looking to slam the car, just want to lower it slightly (3/4"-1") and have the adjustability of the struts. In reading a bit more about the Swifts, it looks like they lower the car substantially more than that, so it appears your combo is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks much for the input.

fahr_side Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Just wondered if anyone has any experience with these or has even ever seen these coilovers. I knew a guy who put a set on a Passat. I think they started leaking before the car came down off the rack.

Kiyo1990 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I am looking at race land coilovers. Decent price and decent performance. As well, if that's the case on drift cars...I'd stay away from all of them then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I knew a guy who put a set on a Passat. I think they started leaking before the car came down off the rack. I'm not surprised.

WaspGT Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a set on my MK3 Golf, theyve been on since last year, they are Yellow and purple... look just like KW's. $349.99 3 year warranty... no issues so far and the Golf scrapes pavement.

WaspGT Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 These, but they are a different color now (RSK Coilovers). There were some for the 4th gen LGT, for $450 but theyre gone. They have a nice set of Tein on there now for $649(Ebay). Not sure id trust the cheapies on the LGT, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like there are many issues with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Why... this is just something to slam and bomb around in, DD in the summer. Usually when the other cars getting work done. I made a mistake though cause the ones that JMP created this thread about are different and ive never used those before. I def wouldnt trust cheapies on an actual performance car... kind of defeats the purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
