emusa coilover set

[jordancespedes4]

I know this should be on the parts review section but since im a newbie is not letin me .

I purchased a coilover set from emusa last month.im a student in a tight budget and needed some kind of upgrade from my blown stock suspension .the ebay seller sell this for 450 shipped but i call emusa and i got it for 375 shipped. I know there is other reviews about this coilover set ,but since emusa revised this product im doing a new review .I was goint to buy the tokico hp set but i took a chance with this ones .I cant drive my car right now because i need to replace the rear hub and bearing so i i haven't install the coilvers. ( car is my dd )

This set is 16way damping adjustable , not sure but i think is to adjust the rebound.

Pillow ball top mounts but no camber plates, i checked for play and everything looks to be fine.

Individual height adjustment.

Front spring rate 8kg , Rear is 6 kg

and here are some pics i took today one front and one rear . I ll update when i install them prabably in a couple of weeks. sorry for the big pics

thats good to hear

 

[jordancespedes4]

Your right to an extent. Swaybars help distribute the load and will act like a spring, but the bottom line is that all of the sprung weight of a vehicle rests on the springs and struts. There is no way around that. And in this case, one single fine threaded aluminum nut per corner which is circled in red. Like I said, sketchy design.

I wasn't talking about how they bolt up. Yes they would be installed in the same location as any other spring and strut combo. I have absolutely no idea where you got that from? [/QU

it has two aluminum nut to hold the springs

That nut has nothing to do with holding the weight of the car. That nut simply keeps the lower sleeve from turning. The lower sleeve is completely threaded and that's what's doing the work. It's also tightened at the bottom in the stock location. Its going anywhere.

Nothing sketchy about it if you actually had your hands on them or maybe installed them for that matter. Then tried adjusting them after install you'd see that the design is just fine.

yes your right the lower nut is to prevent it from turnin , megan and other companies use this same desing on their coils

thats good to hear

yea , i just need some 17s or 18s so i can raise it up more and have a better ride quality because this streets are rough here hell of pothole .

That ring you circled is there to jam against the lower mounts. The lower mounts that are off the strut in the picture thread onto the strut body. That ring that was circled will be tightened down against the lower mount so the strut body doesn't unthread or thread down more into the mount.

 

[hurricanecris24]

bnasty , did u have to lower the top nut to get ## car that low?

 

[jordancespedes4]

this is the lowest you can go without losing shock trave in the front, not slammed but still a nice drop

Welcome to E-MOTOR

they are good for the price $375 shipped cant ask for more. if anyone plans on buying this set of coil overs don' t slam your car and you ll be fine

 

['97boostinGST]

Just emailed them asking for a price, and if they offered warranty.

I did notice that they only had one spring rate down, arent the AWD and FWD spring rates different??

im not sure if gsx and gst use different spring rates. call them and ask if they offer higher spring rates.

I thought they did? AWD's are heavier due to the added rear diff and subframe.
Still havent had a reply.

yes they have different spring rates but in aftermarket suspension that doesn't matter..!!

dont email them is better is you just call

 

[jakelandry]

Are they still holding up? No leaks or anything? Im considering buying some just to drop a little without the roughness of just springs. The way i look at it is, as cheap as they are you can just buy more as they tear up .

 

[TJCTalon]

+1 how are these holding up? Are they easily adjustable?

 

[Absit]

Enjoy the effects of the spring not being compressed squarely.

 

[flyineagletsi]

I would all the way to the bank if someone would dyno these. Please, pretty pretty please, someone dyno a set. Maybe then people would realize that you truly get what you pay for or in other words, the lack there of.

 

[jordancespedes4]

this still holding up and are much better than stock suspension and better than droop springs for 375 $ im still happy with them

 

[TSITurbo95]

Glad they are holding up for you, and that is a great price. I was looking into a set. But with the new Megan Racing EZ Street coilovers for only $650 shipped from venders, that is hard to pass up as well.

it dont reallt matters on aftermarket suspension , u can always change the springs. im have 6kg back springs and they are stiff

yes the megam ez street coilovers seens like a awsome deal , if u have the money go with the megans and review them.

my friend has tein flex on his gst and he likes how smooth my set rides on the streets

 

[gprix1]

Great! now another thing to spend hours researching.

[907gs-t]

I might have to pickup a set of those coilovers for that price.It is almost to good to pass up imo.
