Sleeve type coilovers? - 6/1/2008 10:41:33 PM    goodnightninja   Posts: 11 Joined: 5/27/2008 Status: offline I've been looking around on the internet for a way to lower my car without spending 1000+ dollars. I came across this one type of coilovers, they're sleeve type which just fits over your existing shocks/struts I guess. They are considerably cheaper than true coilovers, but I also hear they can be dangerous and a waste of money. If anyone knows anything more about either of these please let me know, b/c I really don't know what to do. Peace. Post #: 1

Good brands for sleeve-overs are Skunk2, Ground Control, and DropZone are okay brands. It's when you buy no names from eBay that the danger things comes in to play. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF 99 Accord F23A1 5MT (in reply to WheelBrokerAng) Post #: 3
