400 dollars and a month? i rather saved up and spend extra 5-6 hundreds dollars on real coil

 

only 3 max? eh I'll wait on real C/O's. I am already 2/2.5 and want to tuck the front tires(rears already do slightly).

 

cool cool, wat you got? sportline or H&R race?

 

hmm i'm tempted to try out the ebay ones i was thinking about regular coilvoers however KYB GR2's plus thous might not be to bad it would be like 500 for a full new suspension

 

TenzoR's. Honestly I dont see why people bitch about their "Quality" they seem decent to me, best $50 I spent on this damn car to date.

 

"right now we currently have them in red and blue. they are special ordered throught KYB here in the US. Spring rate is 350f 325r. Send us your email address and We can send you a copy of the install instructions." thats what i got after emailing the company about the ebay ones"

I emailed ground control to get the specs for them as well to compare

 

nice

 

what does 6-7kg transfer in the other raiting i'm guyssing its 350/ 325 lbs ?

he

hanks alot man youve been great with the responses.. one last thing is it possible to get different spring rates? from what i've been looking at the rear should be slightly stiffer then the front

if not for that price i'm willing to give it a shot lol

awesome thank yuou very much and where would I find the direction? I'm hoping to be revamping my suspension soon and I was debating between real coilovers or just redoin my spring and such however these and new shox/struts would be the cheapest. best route

What kind of spring rate are you lookin for? "

he's been great about helping me out so lets see what he can do supposedly these setups from KYB which i know they do make some.. so if it really is from them then awesome

 

i believe you divided it by 52 or 56 from the lbs/in

 

awesome i'm going to ask for 350 front and 400 back would would generally be 6250 front 7150 back ..

or maybe 325 front and 400 back which would be about 5825 front and 7150 back

just too see my options

 

so anyone order the ones from ebay yet to give them a try? they fit ss/sc's?

 

i just asked him if anyone has ordered them and if he's gotten any feed back.. they should fit ss/sc's though however i'm working on different spring rates so just give me a min unless you want to really test them they COULD be fine however usually rear setup is stiffer but kyb should know wtf they're doing

 

cool ill wait on a update. i wanna slam my car and wont mind doing it with 135+ coil overs from ebay just to try them and what not. if i dont like it then go back to my sportlines

 

what my plan is these sleeves and ss/tc shocks/struts so it'll be like 400 for a full over haul.. and the only thing you're missing on normal coilovers is dampening adjustment

but i have an idea for that as well after talking to B&G the otherday apparently each shock/ strut is 125 a piece so that means you can get the fully adjustable B&G shock/ struts for 500 + 135 for the kyb sleeves and maybe have a good setup for cheap

 

maven said something around go 1+ higher on the rear. and i would go for like 6kg front and 7 on the rear. but then the seller from ebay told me that is gonna be stiff with that high of a spring rate, but its gonna plant the balt on the road.

 

yea i sent him an email asking for

would it be possible to get a either 300 front and 350 rear, 325 front and 400 rear or 350 front and 400 rear that'll be a range of about 5300 kg/mm front and 6200 kg/mm back to 6000 kg/mm front and 7200 kg/mm back . it seems like most of the setup'sve i've seen upon research have stiffer rear springs.

has anyone ever bought the cobalt setup before:? have you heard any reviews on it ? i'm just expressing a concern based on my research as well as others on some of the forums i'm on. and considering you've been greatly helpful I figured asking wouldn't hurt..

 

is hundreds, not thousands. you put like 6000kg/mm, its 600kg/mm, lol. 300 is too soft in my taste. 350 front and 400 rear would be nice, not TOO stiff, and it should give a nice comfort ride.

 

so the lil ebay set brings the sleevev and the spring right? or what? im new with this stuff kinda. what are all the numbers yall are discussing about?

 

actually we're both wrong it's like 6.3 kg /mm lol i wrote it out in grams but left the units in Kg i was a bit drunk at the time though lol but yea i think 350/ 400 would be good

 

oh my bad, i typed it wrong too, oops. lol.

 

To go from 1Kg/mm to lb/in you multiply 1x2.2=2.2lbs/mm, multiply 2.2x25.4=55.88 lbs/in

 

thanks for explaining it for me, and i'm still debating if i want it over the rear coilover...... if someone buy it before me please let me know how it rides, please.

 

No problem, I never did good in any class unless it had math in it. I have quite a few conversions memorized.

 

haha i just put it into google lol 350 lbs/inch to kg/mm lol

 

^ thats something i did too. spring rate conversion chart.
