hey i was just wondering if any one has had any experience with the arospeed adjustable coilovers? and if so how were they?

 

i believe they're sleeve type coilovers. In that case, its just height adjustable.. which isn't the greatest. that's simiilar to ground control.

 

yeah its just hieght, so they are no good or what?

 

no

 

cheap yes
can slam your car - yes
get what you pay for - yes

if you care about being slammed and don't care about ride quality then sleeves are good.

that being said, true coilovers are a must. height adjustablilty and damper adjustability is no question.

 

thanks guys, and yes i care about ride quality so what kind of coilovers should i get that are fairly cheap?

 

define "fairly cheap"

1. cheapest "coilovers" is ground control/arospeed/ebaysleeves + kyb/koni/stock shocks ($400-800)
2. second cheapest (depending on if you used kyb agx in the setup above) is probably megan racing / D2 / etc ($900 shipped or somewhere)
3. major brand entry level coilovers like tein SS...most in this category won't have pillowball mounts, damper adjust, or lower perch adjustment (ride height). (~$900+)
4. major brand mid level coilovers...most of these might come with pillowball mounts and have damper adjustment. most don't have low perch adjustment though. apex exv, tanabe ss pro, jic flta1 (~$1100+)
5. major brand top level coilovers. every thing on these ones, damper adjust, ride height, preload adjust, etc. can't go wrong with these. tein flex/super drift, tanabe DD, JIC FLTA2 (~$1500+)

that summary is just a poor guideline but it gives you an idea of what you're dealing with. some are exceptions to the rule and some features do come in the categories where i said it doesn't. and on top of that i didn't even go into monotube, twin tube, inverted, piston diameter, valving, etc. contact me to chat it up more in detail.
