TornActive Coilovers ?

Does anybody have or heard anything good or bad about the tornactive coilovers, Im trying to decide between them, neuspeed race springs, or goldline springs. If you didn't already have your car lowered what would you go with ?

I think he's referring to these by TornActive.

Looks like TornActive has its own brand now..

These adjustable Coil Over kits will lower your car between 1-4" simply by adjusting the spring height. They are brand new in the box, with the 4 springs, aluminum collars, aluminum perches and Allen Wrench Tool. They are manufactured by a major automotive specialty company, which is currently private labeling the kit for us and we are passing the saving to you.

The springs are 20-30% stiffer than stock applications depending the application. The ride is very good, we installed them on our test vehicle (2000 Civic Si), and they rode very well, on stock shocks.

The look exactly like the Ground-Control Coil-Overs.

If you guys/gals have any questions, please email me.

Thanks

Rob says these coilovers are similar looking to gc's, I asked him about the quality and he said that the quality of these coilovers was good but maybe not as high as the gc's, there about half the price of gc's, so if there even close that would make these a great buy. I just ordered these coilovers today, so I will let people know how they turn out.

Well here they are setting right in front of my and what do you know, sombody said another ebay coilover, how right you were, these are R1 coilovers so I will let everybody decide for themselves on them. Im going to try them for now, and do tein ss's this summer. So my reccomendation is just buy R1's off ebay for $60 and save your money, R1 and TornActive[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]...highly dissapointed. All in TornActives defense they say only some of there coilovers come from R1, the rest are probably dropzone or something.

because on the box it reads....Generation 2...then go down a little bit and it says...R1 Racing Sports Coil-Over Sleeve Kits....then on the flap it says...Super Tuner Suspension....and on each sleeves box it reads R1 Racing Sports, and then again on the spring itself it reads R1 Racing sports. 2 of the springs are 350P and the other 2 are 450P, and there blue so they dont even resemble the ground controls or the skunks, I guess they will do for a drop for now.

It doesnt say tornactive anywhere = kinda false advertisment isn't it ? TornActive's trusty goat on AIM says that I have to pay a 20% restocking fee, because its not their fault that I don't like them, so my plan is now to Never buy anything from tornactive again and I will highly disadvise anybody else from purchasing through them, I have read thousand of good reviews about them. Here's my reveiw, shipping = no tracking number ? , service = 20% restocking fee for false adveristed item, I thinks thats called fraud but Im gonna let them slide on that one, quality = well just read the reviews on R1 coilovers and let them speak for themselves, price = My butthole is still sore, $139 for R1's[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] Hopefully this thread helps out alot of new members that want to lower their ride for cheap, GET SPRINGS !!!!!

i should get mine soon and i'll let you know if they look anything like gc's. try calling tornactive and talk to rob directly, that might help. if these are r1 coilovers, there is no way i'm keeping them!

03 silver, hell naw i'd returned that ****.. it is false advertisement. if they're R1 coilovers he should just sell them as R1 coilovers and not tornactive. if it is true, i'll put his company on blast. i'm tired of companies f*****g people over. if my2k1vic are R1s too, robs going to hear it from me. i hear torns a great company too but if their doing some bull **** like this then i think everyone should know
