    Thumbs down Coilovers On Stock Struts????

    ok so i bought the coilovers that fit over your stock struts....


    All i have to say is DO NOT!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THEM...


    Why you may ask?.... because most of them come with allen wrenched screw used to stabilize the coilover the strut which are very weak i tried this method and thankfully it broke when it wasnt moving after i put my new tires on while my car was on the lift.

    basically the coilover shattered and came out of the boot so if you like yor car do not buy the coilovers and yes some of you probably did and the ened up working fine but mine didnt so this is just a warning!!!! thanks guys

    i agree. We got a set for free and it didnt even have the allen key things, we got a grinder and modified where the bolt goes on so theres a 10mm bolt in there now. its been good as gold since then haha
