Personally, i should go to where you live and smack you. If you shelled out the money for blues, at least get a good coilover kit. Ive never heard of this brand and you might have your springs snap. Go with a good brand like ground control

Re: coilover help pls

Are the front springs stock? If so, yeah coilovers are damn small compared to oem. I had ground controls on mine but went back to stock (busted shocks) and the size difference is crazy

i would highly advise against those cheap ebay springs. they are just about the worst thing u can buy.

get some good quality coils like the eibach ground controls.

Re: coilover help pls

ground control is the way to go...its what I got for mine and they are solid quality. Slap those on your blues, drop it 1.5" or so, and you have a solid setup going on!

you asked if those will fit ur car?

that pic on that ebay is a generic picture not specific or any car. you will get a blue spring with some sort of coil adjuster.

it doesnt really matter if it really fits ur car or not, you shouldnt get cheap springs. its dangerous because they will break or wrap under stress/useage.

suspension is one of the few things you should NOT cheap out on. either keep it stock or go for something decent


(the other two being tires and brakes)

Re: coilover help pls

erm...
em2brasil, first off, where do you live?
if you still in Brasil, i do not know any roads that have any pavement left in the holes of the roads.
so, the shocks might survive, but the springs will need to be very reliable.
recommend you looking at the eibach prokit instead. sports might be too low.
boa sorte

Re: coilover help pls

ok, then if you going to get coilovers, get GC.
E-Bay generic ones you need to know who you buying from, the ones that do know get cheap ones. but they usually end up doing some fabrication for them. the ones that do not know better, could end up with a kit that will dismantle soon, causing a lot of damage.
Since no one have any idea of that seller, well, you can be the first one to test, but if yer unlucky i am afraid you might not even be able to come back here to report.
risk assessment.
