They are super cheap compared to other coilovers but they look legit( as in they stole the ideas from real companies)

Anyways wondering if you have had one, how long , and how well it is holding up

i would not even let that cheap chinese shit in the same room as any of my vehicles. there are other budget brands you can go with depending on what you are trying to put these on.

Exactly what night_throne said, You don't have to go all crazy to start, but you can get good reliable stuff fairly cheap if you know what to look for. you can research those parts too. I hate to admit it, but there are some good car specific facebook groups that have knowledgeable people in it that have done what you are doing im sure. There are a lot of trolls like everywhere but there are some guys that know their stuff too. I'm in a couple for my older car. Also they used way cheaper components with no standards at all. I wouldn't trust that stuff, I'd rather buy junkyard stuff than that.

I've seen videos online with people running them easily with no problems...

but I have personally had problems, no instructions on this kit so if it's your first one have a professional install and adjust the height for you

I honestly just recommend getting lowering springs, I put them on mine after the horrible ordeal with maxpseedingrods on like 160k shocks and still going good 15k later.

Just avoid potholes and stuff, which you need to do with coilovers anyway.

Lol the maxpeedingrod is so cheap I'm definitely returning.. the rubber ring was slipping from under the coil.

Thanks for the good responses everyone


My issue right now is that it was previously soooo low to the ground that you can't use it on normal roads, and the coilovers were non adjustable.

The front left wheel would also rub against the wheel well when turning, I think I need to raise it am inch or 2 to get it not to rub.

Any thoughts?

So you lowered the car but didnt factor in performance or anything?

Then started considering cheap parts for a fix?

Ya i think i see a problem here

nah the car was previously lowered and ran fine, it just wasnt for daily driving :lol:
Now it is going to be.

now i need new parts, plus it had been backed into on the front left just a light tap making it hit the wheel well wen turning.

Is this the EM1? If so, classic setup for these hondas, koni yellows on ground control coil kit.

After coils is usually a wheel setup soo....

Id probably run 15/16x7's
195/50 on 16's or 205/45 on 15's.

Camber kits, then head straight to an alignment shop, tell them you want camber/toe as OEM/stock as possible.

Good luck~

Just get an alignment?
