Hey Crypto,


I have never dealt w/ suspension before.... so I have a few questions.

How hard are these to install?

How long should the install take?

What tools are involved?

I will be modding a few things on my car soon, and I'd like to do much of it myself.

I have a friend who owns a shop, and he'll let me use the space and the tools, but I'll have to throw him a little green to have him work, which is of course reasonable given he is a pro who does it for a living and i'll probably be taking some of his free time.

install is easy, probably easier than installing springs. It will probably take a few hours, depending on what tools you have, and how good you are at this stuff.

Tools involved would be a wrench/socket set, car jack and stands.

it is fairly straight forward, and thats good you have a friend there to help you. You should be able to install these without any problems

haha, you might wanna describe what you mean by "better". While I dont personally have them installed, coil overs in general make the car feel much, much more "race-car" like. But these ones have adjustable dampening so they can altered between a variation of settings. However, every coilover car I have ridden in has not been very commuter friendly regardless of the setting they were on :P . But, if thats what you mean by better, then I think you will be happy :beer:

from what we have heard from our customers the ride is excellent. It is def stiffer than stock, and with the car being lowered it corners a lot nicer too.
The dampening adjustment def helps with these. I have NEX coilovers on my 03 lancer, and they don't have dampening adjustment, and the ride can get pretty rough sometimes. However i love being able to feel the road and a more solid ride.

It's all about personal preference really. However this is THE most reliable and safest way to lower your car, and is easily the best suspension modification you can do.

What are the adjustments here. Is the knob on the top for the adjustable dampening?
What are the marks down each side for? Do you get some sort of cabmber/castor adjustment as well?

Is there any kind of a warranty with these?



How long should they typically last with general everyday type driving?





I wouldn't want these things to wear out in 30-40 miles....for that price they better last a while longer...like 40001 :)

If one of the first photos is an indication of where he set it, then there is a lot of room to go up and still a bit to go to come down.

Can the megans get the car back to standard height?
