Quality is a key essential when buying car parts, especially when it comes to suspension. There are many different coilover brands that you can choose from but there is one that we usually tend to skip over… and that is the “ebay coilover”. Today we break down what ebay coilovers are and find out if they are worth it. Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below!

maxpeedingrods $450 version on a FC Vert #studentlife lol
Still stock. Looking into Gecko for mines.
Koni yellows with Eibach springs going on my 2012 MazdaSpeed 3 this weekend or next. Original stock ones from when I bought it new starting to give up (61K daily driver miles) and the right rear spring broke like they commonly do on the Mazda 3 line.
Lowering spring from tien on both Outback and wrx because they are daily drivers.
I’ve got eBay specials that came with my G35, previous owner put them on, honestly they’re actually not that bad
Me buying EBay coilovers after this video and telling people I have BC Racing coilovers
This has my dying 😂😂😂😂
😂😂 To low for the haters to see anyways 🤷🏾♂️
Lmfaooo
Find a BC Racing sticker to “prove it” ezpz
@@AramysFS7 you can buy those stickers off of ebay or even the bs website boom its bc lmao
Bashing eBay coilovers because they hurt your sales lmao
Carter Davis ok cool
Yeah i felt that exact thing. I wrote something on that
I just got some Racelands for $400 and I’m happy with them
@@FELIPE8226M I just installed a $300 pair of eBay coilovers on my 91 Corolla. It's pretty cool. I'm sure the thousand-dollar ones would feel better but I can't justify dropping $700 more. I literally spent less than that on entire car
@@crow-vz5lx now that it’s 5 months later how good did they do for u?
I’ve been bouncing around on cut springs for months, yall are clowns thinking ima care what brand my coilovers are
josepla yer21 this shit made me laugh more than you would think hahaha
Laughed hard as fuck at this
Same here man eBay coilovers are nothing compared to that cut spring life
Bro fucking same, I sent it hard with my 11th gen Corolla cz j wanted to be low, I risked my life and car to be low so eBay isn’t all that bad if anything improved my car 11110000000 million times more than the cut springs ctfu, shit same with my ek civic I never once had an issue with my eBay coilovers I installed on it. Only issue is I had to modify holes in the actual coilovers cz bolts where to thick for the tiny little holes they had 😂 bruh when I say I had a bumpy fucking ride , it was terrible
I took the car in a cornfield on cut springs dawg not intentionally lol so if I can trust the car coming out alive on that ima say eBay is good for the price lol
wouldn’t buy a thot gucci, I’m not buying my $1k salvage title car nice coils 💀
Squirrel M3 you got a point 😂
Facts.
😂
Fax
BIG FACTS!!! 💀💀
I had people who got them to put on daily drivers. They are great for lowering but don’t expect a soft ride. They are great for track use. If your looking to lower your car but keep ride quality go for lowering springs or higher end coils overs. The max speeding rods last a good time my friend has them on his focus and 2 1/2 years later they still ride good however the paint is cheap and will chip off easy. Don’t go for the 200$ one get the 300$ with adjustable dampener. Once you get them the first week will be horrible but once you break them in the will get better. And before install them put anti seize on it and lube around the top so it doesn’t clunk or squeak. I was gonna put them on my 05 wrx but I don’t track it I daily drive it so please consider lowering springs if you care about ride quality. And to those people saying it’s junk you never owned them nor tested them. Do your research before you spread misinformation about them.
Ebay has so many made-up brands of coilovers. The same Chinese factory making 20 different fake brands. Sorry but $500 isn't going to get you a good set of coilovers. Their damper valving will be poor quality, and they probably have never been track-tested by anyone with real experience. Some of them don't even tell you what the spring rate is, much less allow you to choose your own rates.
One thing I did love about the Maxpeedingrods was that when I asked the seller to supply me with adjustable dampers (i originally had the non adjustable), they sent me some for about 80 bucks, which was a surprise considering they're eBay coilovers lol
80's Boombox Collector that’s why it’s called “budget” and I bought race land before and Max speeding rods befor to test. Pretty similar but the eBay ones have cheaper paint and you will have to lube them up before installing. And I used them for my Subaru Outback for track use and the work great for the price. Don’t expect them to be as good as 500+ coils your trying to compare. Next time actually buy the product and test it out before you spread out misinformation you boomer.
I doubt cheap eBay coil overs are great for “track use”
Harsh conditions for some Chinese parts..
I can say the same for maybe eBay turbos and such
Lol, don’t track cheap coilovers unless you want to revalve or replace them after every track use
Where the ebay built boys at. We stay bouncin on the coils
high five 😆
Just swap out the springs with 326 powers I promise you it’ll work yea it runs you 250 dollars but if you wanna be static for cheap and not be on washers 🤷🏽♂️
@@neverfinished646 thanks for the helpful information I've been after stiffer some stiffer springs and had hard time finding the right vendor.
I’m definitely guilty when it comes to the topic of “did I ever consider buying these?”. Y’all did too, don’t frickin lie 😂
I’m stilling driving around on my stock 20 year old struts anythings is an upgrade at this point 😅
Same on my 1983 BMW 5er 😂
Hella
Relatable
Same here but my struts are done for
This guy gets it.
I'd still take them over stock 90s suspension
Facts
*M A X P E E D I N G R O D S*
All I’m saying is, for the money those are pretty damn good. Definitely would buy those over ricelands
Bought this brand and it started leaking fluid. Would definitely not buy again.
Koolblue yah I have a buddy with an Acura RSX type R and he got a set of maxpeedingrods full adjustable coilovers that even allow him to adjust the dampers for a smoother ride and he payed around $360 for them and they have been on his car for 2 years now and had zero issues and ride smooth and look great so tbh I’d definitely buy them they seem like a fairly good brand tbh
A friend got some for his celica and the rear end sits higher than stock height lol
ScreamingPandas7 you do realise you can adjust the height right
If my dad found out I ran eBay coil overs he’ll disown me
😂
I treat my car like it's my girlfriend (I don't have a girlfriend because race car) she gets pampered and all the best stuff. Costs a lot but I mean, I don't know bout you but I don't wanna be breaking cheap parts while doing reckless things in Mexico if you know what I'm saying.
$800 Civic HX, $300 adjustable coilovers....yes...We talkin' about budget build.
a 98’ hx?????
Mine was a 97.
So far I haven’t broken anything with mine.
How long you been on them?
Maxpeedingrods on my 3G Eclipse sitting on 18x9.5 lowered to about 5” off the ground (or the Height of an iPhone 11 Max 😂). They have been put through their paces and honestly, they are adjustable as hell with the exception of dampers. From track use to road use they’ve held pretty damn well.
Do u still recommend em for a 2G?
Not low enough
So you spend a grand on a car but the want you to spend 2k on 4 pieces of metal lol. Thank you eBay
Exactly
I’ve had eBay parts on cars when I first started out and didn’t have a lot of money if you just starting out go for it you might learn something and y’all know what to look for on your next build it’s about fun guys not how deep your pockets is
Absolutely well said!! It's about the experience, and learning from those experiences.
why do you take so long to explain this. I legit just wanna know if they're worth it not a history lecture.
Exactly this. I just commented about this.
He drag the fuck outta this.
that's pretty much how every video on this channel is sadly, gotta try to hit that 10 min mark i guess.
I have $300 maxspeeding coilovers on my 1995 Toyota Corolla dx and it rides like a champ super slammed 😁
So the ones with dampening?
Just bought some for my Scion xB haha hope they work out
I just bought Mostplus adjustable coilovers for my '96 Corolla DX lol
we basically have the same car & yes mine also costed $300
@@Jeremy_Hill_2020 incoming back problems when that "adjustable" part was just bullshit lmao
@@SLAAMIT xD
...I have been told from many Honda heads...."buy eBay coils and slap some swift/326 springs"...you're welcome...
$2000 civic? Yeah, definitely not putting $1500 coilovers on it, Ebay it is!!
Got eBay coilovers for mine.
They work just fine .. comfy enough.
Even better then Tein lowering springs which are very stiff.
Been running maxspeedingrods on my 2002 TL type S for sound 7 months, not too bad honestly. Just wanted to be slammed and lower center of gravity to tear up the corners and they do their job 🤙
Lowering Springs > Cheap coils
David Baginskiy static mafia
@@LowerClassClique coils are also static.
Alex Strömberg in a sense yes. I understand you can’t adjust as ur driving obviously but you can just lift it up when preparing for winter and shit like that. So I say TRUE static is unadjustable period.
(Also yes I understand some coil overs don’t adjust)
@@LowerClassClique coilovers are static, bags aren't. Easy as that.
Yeah until you blow out your stock struts. Unless your car has under 100k miles I would never put lowering springs on stock struts

Never had any issues or complaints about my maxpeedingrods. Every set I’ve had has done great and lasted far past my ownership of the vehicle. They could withstand daily driving and track/ canyon driving just fine. Rides a little harsh but for the cost and what I got out of them, it’s not bad at all.
I bought the orange ones in the video and let’s just say I had to jb Wield my rear shock together 😂
For security with this stuff, check the reviews before you buy it.
Reviews can tell ya a lot of important information that you might not see in the 'about' section.
That can point you in the right direction, and stay safe people.
On Ebay. No one really gives reviews
I feel he knows there are some good generic , "rebranded" coilovers.but can't legally say they are garbage. .cause he wants you to buy the 2500 dollar ones they have...just spit balling.
I would say it's more about what car it's going.
How big/ heavy is it. How powerfull is it.
Does it have awd? Traction control? Expensive wheels and tires?
How hard do you drive it?
I'm actually buying 250 dollar " ebay " coilovers. The specs look better than the others. Also im putting them on my 91 carolla. Which i bought for 850$$ a couple years ago.
I'm not buying 900- 1500 dollar ones
I have maybe 100 hp.
I won't benifit from terribly expensive coils.
It's my daily. Also my shocks are gone i can botton out very easily.
I have the orange set of maxpeedingrods coilovers shown in the video and they are very well built, the lower the car nicely, and have been amazing for auto cross on my 2010 impreza wagon, the ride quality isnt the worlds best but it isnt terrible, not too much different from my old BCs on my 2g eclipse.
I put maxpeeding coils on my civic, and I love the ride, they ride pretty decent, and handle well. And the best part is they were 200$! (on sale, and a discount code) To be clear I didnt max them out, which plays a part into them feeling better. Also they have dampener adjustment that works pretty well. I highly recomend them to anyone who is trying to get a little bit lower, but not slammed, and is on a strict budget.
Just bought those
I went with Ebay special coilovers on my first build an ls integra. I didn't expect a good quality. But I have been pleasantly surprised with them for the cost.
Which ones did you buy
@@hodgee3643 maxspeedingrods I think
Yes they are worth it,
Some lessons are learned the hard way
They are worth it only if you go for quality and proven engineering. Sorry but $500 won't get you a good quality set of coilovers.
Or you realize that 500 dollars is too cheap when all the name brands cost 1k and up.
@@alexstromberg7696 Yep. But these kids just look at the Ebay photos and assume they're all the same, so hey let's just buy the cheapest ones, yo. Or they listen to some scrub on a forum who says they're great just because they've lasted 8 months so far lol, or saying "they ride awesome", neglecting to mention that they're bouncy as hell because the dampers aren't good quality.
80's Boombox Collector you keep commenting with this snobby mentality but at the end of the day for 2-300 dollars they are not bad. Your comparing 300 dollar coils to 1000 dollar coils. Of course the top dollar ones are good nobody is saying they suck. We are just saying that for the price they are good, I’ve seen maxpeeding on multiple vehicles last a while and people on here that have legitimately tested them and they are okay. Not amazing nor superb but they are okay for the price
I recently bought a $150 set of adjustable height and dampener. Off ebay, didn't have a brand but imo they ride pretty good fr the price, and I have no no more wheel wobbles
eBay parts are completely hit and miss from what I've seen... Sometimes you get something that fits the need and works just fine, other times you get something that doesn't fit, or doesn't actually work as described. So... Customer reviews tell you everything. And if you buy something that doesn't have a customer review... Please review it once your bought and tried it out. For the sake of everyone else out there trying to cheap out as you have.
Was on cut springs before , I trusted my life and car on them , and bouncing around on flat ground I think my eBay coilovers are 1 million times better than being on them 😂 a that 1 year warranty got my back it’s cool , 2 time eBay coilover guy I ain’t scared lol
I ran racelands on my 7th gen civic , they were ok for a little less then a year. Went with the good ol ebay maxspeeding rods coilovers. I liked the overall design and set up alot better then the Racelands. Ended up using the Raceland springs on the Ebay coilovers. It's the best of both worlds, better ride, able to lower it where I wanted
This video didn't answer anything
I have had my for a month and they aren’t half bad . Why pay 1k for some adjustments when all I want is to be on the ground
Truhart StreetPlus and loving them!! Customer service is top notch and FAST! They helped me out when I need another component🤘🏽 wayyyy better than any Raceland BS. I had RL Reds and Ultimos and still don’t compare to Truhart imo. Get mad in the comments🤷🏻♂️
How long have you had them
Racelands are eBay specials
Alex Strömberg facts
They're tempting not gonna lie but I saved up and bought my teins flex Zs for my sti 😃
my experience is as follows. im gonna get shit for it but i own several 92095 eg civics.
my first one was a dedicated daily driver with emusa coilovers on it, matched with lenso vpd 15" wheels and federal 595s. took it to the track and they performed exactly how i thought. tight in the corners and a rough ride anywhere else. it felt like a "rAcE CaR"
fast forward to when i picked up my second eg, they have fuction and form type 1's. little bit more expensive coil over and let me fucking tell you something, comparing a name brand ike f&f to an ebay brand was just hilarious. the ride quality was soft enough that i didnt have to look like a drunk driver dodging every pot hole in the ground, the corners were tight enough to hold balance through them, the ride feels like stock height, and get this, THEY HAVENT SIEZED up since having them on there for 5 years lmao.
point is - you get what you pay for, im again buying another set of f&f's regardless if theyre $600. this hobby isnt cheap.
Worth if u broke 😂
Don't buy it instead of you're broke
broke you're if functionality cars your ruin Don't
@@KaiserVonKrieg WHAT????
yeffocyort read what he said backwards bro
I’m not broke I’ll just rather spend money on other things like rims or a lip
Got TRD springs on factory shocks on my daily (reliable) FRS, and eBay coilovers on my project/fun/ slammed (no shits to give about comfort) Integra. EBay coilovers are just eBay coilovers. They are good if you don't expect a lot out of them other than to lower your car.
I was planning to buy a set for my 01 celica. But i heard a thing that it doesn't drop at the rear. Can you please tell me anything about that?
I got the basic Maxspeedingrods coil overs because my wider tire setup wouldn't allow for just lowering springs. Yes they need to be lubed, anti-seized, and zero-preloaded, but they're still reasonably dailyable. When the road is smooth, they are smooth. When the road is rough, they are rough. I recommend them as beginner coil overs or people who aren't going to be tracking them often.
My corolla is worth 1000$. Name brand coilovers would be worth my entire car. I’m gonna go ahead and stick with some budget ones...wish me luck lol
Found some from maxspeedingrods there good...but i never told anyone there from ebay (im broke)
Rusty Rocket I’m running the same coilovers no shame paid nearly 250 for mine
How long have u had them
If you're broke, don't buy coilovers at all.
@@Mr.grubby 3 months now runnin good and low
@Alex Strömberg dude, weak trolling and bullshit. They're not actually broke. Do they not have jokes in Finland? Crappy caramel cheese, but not jokes apparently.
CXRacing Coilovers almost $600 rides perfect! Oh I bought that off eBay 👌🏽👌🏽
I was running truhart coilovers on my Acura TL. Felt good, had a ton of adjustability as long as you didn't want to go with the stock height. The tallest they went was still a 1 1/2" drop so not bad at all
@Gideon Jones I had truharts on my 2008 TL Type S and they were fine. I even paired them with some name brand UCAs with the adjustable camber plates and the car didn't give me any problems. Props to the TL guys in the world. Lol. I don't have the car anymore but now I have a 1997 Accord LX and am looking for some cheap but reliable coilovers. Don't think I will be going eBay or Raceland. Probably something low to mid range price wise. Maybe some TruHarts again or some entry level Teins
I’m running rev9 hyperstreet II on my genesis coupe they have exceeded my expectations for 480 bucks on eBay. They have dampening adjustability with pillow ball camber plates. I’ve had them for 7 months now with zero issues.
I bought those too
Godspeed makes those.
How did they hold up 2 years later?
Maxspeedingrods on the g35 and they felt pretty good. I have never had a expensive coil over set but I will say for 300 dollars they were pretty damn good and did the job.
Max speeding rods(spell check) 24 adj on a 94 civic hatchback. Manual, street and track use, gutted but have AC, drove on them for about 2 years.
Even on the hardest setting. It is like a mid+ setting on more expensive brands. On streets I ride 5 clicks away from max (pot holes in Florida and huge speed bumps) very fun to drive. My bucket seats makes the ride much more fun and gives me more information from the road. New upper and lower control arms and others tells me more if my car is in control going to do something crazy. New S drive tires all around, upgraded the brakes n stuff and I have a smile on my face every time i drive her. Of course, if i was thinking about going into competition, i would have to upgrade alot of stuff to get my time down.
But for entry level? Go for it. Learn from these so you know what you really want in a full coilover kit that cost over $1000
as someone extremely new to suspension mods it's interesting to watch this before even really knowing what a coilover is lol
I have a set of ebay jdm speed coilovers on my 09 impreza hatch, it lowered it about 4 inches from stock hieght, they're my first set of coilovers so I can only compare it to stock suspension, definitely stiff but the soften up a tad and all around good price and haven't had a problem, I've had them for about 7 months and cant complain
How have they held up?
Honestly have had ebay covers in my eclipse for like 3 months and as long as you get the ones with dampening adjustment they can ride nice and handle well. My friends with tien and megans interact heir car have said that it feels like a set of 800$ coils. The life of then are definitely shorter that your top end products but honestly you can't beat it for the price
10 yr and still on $255 coilovers with no problemo
I bought them because my Imprezas rear strut is broken and 1 factory strut is like 400 so why not spend 400 on a pair of Coilovers and I get to lower the car
How you gonna bash ebay coilovers when you make a killing off fake wheels lol
I got the yellow maxpeedrods for my Mazda 3. Yes, they’re stiff but that’s what I preferred especially if my main goal is just lowering my car without the fear of bottoming out.
That’s the pro side of the coilovers, the con side is the horrible built coil overs.
I had experienced snapped end links because the front coilovers was actually spinning around in the knuckle. The company that made these coilovers didn’t take that into account.
Also, I had a bad set. It would make noise when turning the wheel. Like banjo strings plunking.
The customer service behind the coilovers is trash. Tried to get in contact with someone about the problems, no response... ever.
If you’re tight on cash, just want to lower your car, doesn’t track your car, think luck is on your side to get a set with no problems, can fix a problem with the coilovers if you do happen to run across them, then I would get them. From my experience, it’s a hard NO.
Man my toyota tercel is probably 1000$ and the coilovers cost 950$ 🤦🏾♂️

Running a maxspeedingrods coilover on my first gen mazda 3 😂 so far its not bad. 1.5 years old and going strong 👌👌 only issue I have is spring binding due to the cheap thrust washers 😕
Any answers on how to stop the springs from binding ?
@@christopherbaboo8732 What I did was swap out the trashed thrust washers with some swift springs thrust sheets(washers) and added a little pure grease just for added measure and it went away. Hoped this helped!
@@akatsuki.5428 can you link me to the swift washers ?
@@christopherbaboo8732 well this is what I used www.ebay.com/itm/362903788532 you just have to make sure it's the size you need since it comes in a few diffrent sizes depending on what coilover you have and what size washer it has
I have some blue maxspeeding rods on my 07 is250 and I was honestly extremely surprised. A good bit of adjusting is required but after that it's amazing. Not bouncy, comfortable ride, plenty of adjustments, and I've had them well over a year.
How are they holding up, im thinking of getting them for my 06.
What adjustments did you put it on

If your gonna buy coilovers, u might as well get a well known brand with reviews. They have well documented coils that are relatively affordable. I ran CXracing coils on my SC. Only costed me like 500-600 dollars and they worked just fine.
They work just fine on cheap cars that’s it.
Yeah cuz your bugatti Chiron is super expensive right 😭😭😁😁
@@t.g.1124 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are under rated, picked some up for 200 bucks for my Sc300 and it transformed the look, they are not the smoothest riding but definitely worth it
Coil overs are badass but there are a couple things you need to keep in mind: 1) $$ - You need to drop some legit bank to get a quality product (like $300/wheel) 2) Drop - Coil overs are likely going to blow your alignment so either you chew your tires up or spend even more $$ for camber fix
Never have I bought Ebay coilovers.
If you're too "broke" to buy quality parts, don't build a car at all. Simple.
Either save up and do it right the first time. Be patient, do research. You're wasting your money in the long run buying cheap shit while you "wait" to buy the name brands.
So many people don't even know what's inside a coilover or how it works. So they don't understand why some coilovers are better than another. You really have to learn how they're built and what's inside, how the valving works, and you should analyze the company literature to see how much experience they have, whether they've track-tested them on each car they sell it for, and how many racers use them and vouch for them. The best companies don't charge $2K+ for their coilovers just because of the brand name, they do it because it's a high quality piece of gear that costs a lot to make.
Reighner Gargantos people like you are the opposite of what the car community stands for. it’s sad really. building and customizing cars is something that brings people together for events, competitions, photo shoots, and so much more. i’ve made so many friends and had so many good memories because of my car and the community around cars. I’ve never made enough money to buy the best parts or the nicest car. But it doesn’t matter. It’s about taking something and putting time, money, blood, sweat, tears, hatred, and passion into it to make a car into what you envision and then sharing what you made with other enthusiasts. A car full of eBay parts isn’t worthless because of that. It’s just balling on a budget because it’s an expensive hobby that everyone can be a part of, not just the people who make stupid amounts of money. Obviously parts from places like eBay are lower quality, but saying “don’t build a car at all” is pathetic. I’d rather build a shitbox with cheap parts and love the fuck out of it than be too scared of entitled people like you crushing my project because i can’t afford the best. Sad.
@@notevenchris It may be harsh but the message serves a purpose. When you buy cheap parts, you take a risk that they'll either break in a short period of time, or you won't like the way it performs. That's why you can't buy stuff on price alone. I mean people spend hours researching which phone to buy, and they rarely buy the cheapest one, so why can't that be true for coilovers too?
80's Boombox Collector I understand what you’re point is, but I don’t think the analogy applies. A phone is something you use everyday for school, work, the internet, social media, texting etc. It’s essential for most people’s daily lives. Coilovers aren’t essential for daily lives. Having a custom car isn’t essential, it’s a hobby/ passion. So spending $1,000 on a new phone that i’m gonna use every single day for hours and hours and get countless utility out of isn’t the same as spending $1,000 on a suspension for my 2001 Z3 just so I can sit a few inches lower and take corners a little harder. But budget setups that are more affordable for my income and can still get me to that stance i’m looking for just makes sense for a kid in my position
Yeah I hear you. But honestly, you're better off taking that $500 and using it to buy a matched set of springs and struts from a legit company like Eibach or H&R who's been in the business for decades. They might not lower as much as coilovers would, but I doubt massive lowering was your objective with a Z3.
I can buy 10 sets of cheap coilovers with 2years warranty each for the same price as one expensive set. Of course, the expensive ones are better, but id say ebay coils are definitely worth their price. I had cheap coils on my first car (mk5 gti) and never ran into any issues with it. Adjustability was great, and they even installed them for me for only 40 euros extra (they weren't technically ebay coilovers since I didnt get them on ebay, but they are the same price and quality as ebay ones). If you're on a tight budget, or your car just isn't worth expensive coilovers I dont see how you could go wrong, especially if they offer two year warranty. 200 bucks for 2 years guaranteed seems like an absolute steal to me.
dailyd an e36 with racelands for 9 months, bent two struts and cracked a spring, been dailying another e36 on fortune autos for almost two years, jumped train tracks once and had the car in the air over a crest and they're still 100%, along with NE potholes and all that comes with that. you get what you pay for, and if your gonna have the car for a while, spend the money on legit ones so you only gotta spend it once
If you’re thinking about ebay coils and you have no intentions on hardcore drifting or auto cross I would say get them. I’ve had a few sets on a few different cars and I’ve also had some name brands ebay is the way to go if your just going to be racing in a line or drifting here and there and you’re not going to be competitive. They do also last along time I’ve had one set on my daily for the past 4 years. Are they the best and most adjustable? No but they do work for a more controlled ride especially older cars are well as looks.
They do have a name and a brand. They are made by Maxpeedingrods, who also make all sorts of other stuff including forged rods, turbos and more, and the quality is actually pretty decent.
pwnski the maxpeedingrods coilovers were the only cheap coilovers I even saw in the video too. They didn’t even want to mention Emusa. Which are manufactured by the Bor Chuann company that makes BC and Megan Racing. I’ve heard really good things about them
I bought some maxpeeding rods coil overs because of the reviews I’ve seen. Since my suspension is over 20years old I’m sure it’ll be an upgrade.
a year later, howd they holding up?
For real Bc I just bought some
I'm boutta too
Yep this has done it for me I'm definitely going to spend 3x what my shit box cost me for the quality and brand for when I want to go crazy on one of my many trips to the track in my 1ltr corsa
I feel you but I can’t justify almost spending twice the amount of my car on Coilovers that cost more than it
Godspeed coilovers? Any opinions?
Had godspeed on my 2000 Civic hatchback. I liked them. This is coming from a person that also had a 05 sti with bc coilovers.
Godspeed are good for the money. But for the price, you might as well get racelands for the lifetime warranty
I have a 2015 lancer GT cvt sportronic, I bought msr coilovers for $290, I had to ziptie abs line and brake line to the coilover since they didn't have a brackets, and the adjustable sway bar collar was always coming loose and twisting the lower collar loose ..about a year later the top mount bushings wallowed out and made some crazy clunking noise, and even at the lowest ride height I still had a 2.5" wheel gap in the rear, stock 18" tires. I just recently replaced them with another ebay brand "LOD shock" and they still have a 2" wheel gap in the rear, preload is at 0, and the fronts have a 2" wheel gap but if I bottom those out it will tuck the tires but... My rear end will still be up. I'm $600 into coilovers in 2 years, don't cheap out on important stuff
I didn’t know eBay made coilovers
Thats the sexiest scotty image ive ever seen
Ebay might not make coilovers, but they help China dump tons of cheap-shit ones on our shores. They've got like 20 fake brands dreamed up by the same 2-3 factories.
Max peeding rods for the win! Lol
Some people really think buying cheap coils are going to break in half or shit flying out. There's people who willing to test them ourselves and it does a pretty great job.
I bought Rev9 coil overs for me 9th gen Si. I was worried about quality and how long they would last. For the price it’s scary. 2.5 years and 40k miles later I’m still on the same set and they ride great.
They need to be set up right… if you don’t know how to set pre-load and the travel of your shocks if you have shocks in the rear have someone else install them.
Less than a year in after installing ebay coilovers and the shock blew through the top hat.. 💥awesome.
Ebay coilovers break from bottom piece where the bolt is inserted common issue quality is poor and you end up paying twice and whole kit 4pc. Again when 1 just broke🙄🤦🏼♂️might as well just get good upgrades still spend money regardless
Bought eBay coil overs from my other car just bought another pair now I watch your video
From experience my lady have ebay and i have bc coilovers and her Ebay coils ride better than my bcs

Idk bro, I had a set of COT6 coilovers on my bugeye that I picked up because my passenger side rear strut was blown. I kept them on for a few months and when I eventually switch to Tien the difference was very underwhelming. I gave them to my buddy down the street and he loves them. I listened to everyone saying that it's a trash company and let it get to me. In my opinion the extra 850 bucks is not worth it and for most applications outside of a dedicated track car the Maxpeedingrods COT6 line coilovers are more than sufficient. They are way better than the stock setup on a 2nd gen wrx that's for damn sure.
They are absolutely worth it in the right circumstances, if you paid less than 1000$ for your car (or even got it for free) then you are never going to spend 1000+ on some good coilovers, but some cheap ones get the job done(specially when compared to the 20-30 year old stock suspension) and are a good learning experience so if you fuck up something it's not a big deal. Then when you buy an actual project car that you really like then sure, give it some good ones
$80 coilovers on my e46. Rides like shit but I’m slammed lol
#lowlife
😂😂😂😂😂
😂 this comment killed me
Send that link bruh lol
If you can’t afford Raceland coilovers just don’t even think about lowering a car .EVER
Ryan K. How much are they ?
@@BigALdeek 399 for a current gen Golf GTI. 999 if you want an air suspension ooilover.
Raceland is crap, EMUSA ebay coilovers are better
Alright first name first names, super subjective.
Bought some maxspeed rods coils and had them for 4 years now but they just crapped out. Gotta get new ones.
Not worth it spend the money and they will last.. I bought ebay coilovers to see if I would like them and they lasted two weeks and all the fluid came out of the back shocks
i have a set of rev 9 on my 97 mirage that i got off ebay... good experience with them so far
What spring rates shipped with yours? What’s your impression of what they shipped with? Considering the rev 9 for another Mitsubishi.
So you guys gonna start carrying? asking for a friend...
Godspeed makes quality coilovers called the mono max. They are considered ebay but are legit.
I don't want to put suspension that costs more than my $800 car, i just want to get rid of the 2 inches of wheel gap lmao
occupo then buy lowering springs ... lowering springs > cheap coils or I believe the Tein street basis z coils are like 500-700$ and their apparently a solid choice you can look into that, H&R springs are a solid choice too my bud has a 370z on h&r springs and it rides real nice
I was stupid and bought eBay MaxPeedingRods coilovers for my 350z, they were great for about 3 months, until my rear struts blew out, I replaced those with two brand new ones, that lasted about 2 months before blowing out, along with one of the front ones. Basically it was a waste of about $300 after all was said and done. Do yourself a favor, if you want cheap coils, buy the cheapest teins they make for your car, at least those will last a while longer.
