the more i read about them the more i think they aren't a bad option. I mean they used to make coilovers for cavaliers so they aren't just an ebay brand.

There are some minuses to sleeves but if you can live with them then they can fit specific needs. I don't run them because they tend to be not very street friendly unless you get shorter springs and add a helper or tender spring. Also they are not really meant to be adjusted by height. Proper use should have them adjusted according to corner weight and spring preload. If none of this makes sense, you shouldn't even be considering them.

i was looking online and wanted to get a set then upgrade the springs. maybe throw in a set of 7k stance springs. my buddys run the setup on their cars just with bad struts, which is why their struts blew. I was just curious as to if anyone had tried it. I dont have the funds for $800+ coilovers and im not sold on the quality of the ride for that price.

the only thing im worried about is our rear strut. When the car is on a lift or jacked up the spring won't just fall out will it? Thats why im unsure of what size spring height wise i will upgrade too

I would probably go a 6k spring in the front and a 7k spring in the rear. the 6k being 336lbs and the 7k about 392. Or would u guys recommend a 5-6 setup
