has anyone heard of a company called lowtek??

They seem to have listings for struts and springs online. They say the struts are desgined for lowered vehicles and it comes with a lifetime warranty! Just want some personal imput if anyone has used them or dealt with them before.

They are cheap shit that will give worse than stock performance as well die rather quickly. The ride isn't great either.

The lifetime warranty only covers defects and basically after you install them they will weasel their way out of that part of their shit warranty as well.

I have Stagg 4 shocks with the Eibach prokit, the ride quality is excellent, and all 4 shocks were only 128 dollars. Its also been about 6 months, and they still feel like they did the day i installed them.

I've heard they are bad. Had a buddy buy some and they went out after about 4 months. Ad had trouble getting his warrenty replacement.

Haha well yeah I guess I worded that like a idiot. Thanks man.

What I ment was I am willing to spend enough to buy toikico or kyb but I was just wondering if there were any other competitors in the same range.

I also found the company stagg, they look to be cheaper than than lowtek... Can anyone else confirm these aren't junk and can handle dropping a car on eibach springs.

Thanks

Only thing I've ever bought from Lowtek, or at least I think it was them, is my gauge pod. They're the only ones that make them for Spyders that I've seen. Pod is different than the hard tops pod.

 

[curt-s]

I had their their triple pod; unfortunately they didn't tell anybody at the time that it was for the retractable seat belts which my '91 doesn't have.

Then I smartened up and realized the 3-pod looked rather ricey, so I trimmed it down to a single pod for WBO2. Still never fit as well as I'd like even with manual moulding of it, but I'm too lazy to fiberglass, and it performs it's function well enough.

On another note, Stage # struts? What's with this whole "stage" thing.


*edit* Wait, are we talking about the same Lotek?

They are junk, my roommate has some on a s14

No stagg is another Chinese company I've found, but on the flip side I've found nothing but good reviews on these. Which for lowtek I only found awfully bad reviews

If you're willing to chill out the cash for the kyb's, I would recommend koni's street struts. I have them on my spyder and it handles quite well, very little body roll. You can get all four for a little over $300 on koni's website
