any first hand experience from anyone owning a set of these? they got for dirt on ebay.

DreamN · 01-17-2008, 02:02 AM

damn didn't even know they made those. honestly, i don't think ppl have really reviewed them yet. i know their intercoolers get some good reviews. i personally have their sway bars and they're decent for the price, nothing special. don't think i'd cheap out on coilovers though.

IRN · 01-17-2008, 02:19 AM

I was about to get their rucas and sway bar set and came across their coils. I just havent seen or heard of them ever. I already own a set of flex so im good. just curious about their quality.

AznDrftr. · 01-17-2008, 02:26 AM

Hmm, well if you got a project type car to throw them on, go for it. Wont know until you try them yourself, but, on the other hand you dont want them to crap out you either.

bo2o · 01-17-2008, 02:39 AM

hey they dont look too bad.. they have warrenty also. theres 2 types like megan has... and company hasnt had ne bad reviews other that there egay stuff.i have the sways and i love them!.

dual adjustable height and dampening... thats a pretty good deal over megan.

BustedS13 · 01-17-2008, 02:44 AM

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GODSP...QQcmdZViewItem

....and here's the version with 16 way dampening.

GooseXRS · 01-17-2008, 02:47 AM

if i could sell my kit i would probably buy them and let you all know. but that seems impossible. lol

!Zar! · 01-17-2008, 02:49 AM

More than likely they will dampen just like ever other cheap chinese coilover.

Shit isn't new. Yet you all keep posting the same generic stuff up. Like you are going to stumble upon a godsend and have 700 coilovers perform like 7k ones.

hahaha.

zilvia...

It's pointless to have six camber bolts per damper, because once you adjust them you'll have to remove two. per shock.

GooseXRS · 01-17-2008, 02:53 AM

and the parade has been rained on. lol. I saw these and have been considering trying them but my other ish has to go first.

!Zar! · 01-17-2008, 02:56 AM

I'll save you the agony.

Don't buy them.

But I mean who needs quality and performance.

When you can have low cost poor quality and, red.

GooseXRS · 01-17-2008, 02:58 AM

ill take your word for it !ZAR! and I wont get them. You probably know better than me anyway.

Ca_laurier · 01-17-2008, 07:17 AM

ya looks like they are produced by the same guys who make k-sports and form and functions

for the price its not bad, but it always comes back to: you get what you pay for

Edgar · 01-17-2008, 08:02 AM

Ok I will be real honest and I know who manufatured those coilovers. I have a problem when people up the price so much. One of my guys that run our events here has them on his S13 and I will probably be able to get a better review on these once he hits the track.

Want to know where they got these from?

Here it is
http://www.emotorusa.com/suspension.asp

E Motor brings these over from the great land of somewhere

How did I reconginze these? The 3 Camber Adjust bolt things.
These were posted on our site as soon as the shipment arrived. I'll try to get some information on them.

Ian · 01-17-2008, 08:20 AM

They look like the same design as Megan Racing stuff

Bor Chuan or w/e

ZX88 · 01-17-2008, 08:27 AM

they look like megan fronts with ksport/d2 rears.

no im not im just pointing out an observation i have no problem with products megan and ksport make and peoples views differ base what they use their products for dd, track etc. id probably run these on a daily driver. Im actually interested in what your guy says cause a buddy of mine want was looking at a set for his s13.

**Phlip** · 01-17-2008, 08:50 AM

I will only allow this thread to remain open as long as it is not the pissing contest that the others like it usually become.

MAGILLA · 01-17-2008, 08:59 AM

wow for the price these look a lot better than the nex coilovers you usually see on ebay. Hopefully they perform as well as they look.

haha who knew I owned a honda.

I was thinking about getting some, as my coilovers now are blown and I need a cheap fix, but I know I'll get what I pay for, so im just going to save and get something else.

axiomatik · 01-17-2008, 09:46 AM

these are nothing special, just more cheap ebay/china junk. They are shiny, and they allow you to adjust your ride height. that is about all they are good for.

Edgar · 01-17-2008, 10:04 AM

lol probably a typo

EDacIouSX · 01-17-2008, 10:11 AM

i was gonna say just get megans since its good quality for the money but....... then i looked at the god speed coilovers price. if they perform just as well as me gans for about 2/3rds the cost of a megans then i say get the god speeds... only problem is, they are new. if you try them, good luck.

Bobafreak · 01-17-2008, 10:20 AM

I actually have them on my car and there not bad at all i took them up to Mt baldy and touged it down hill(very skeptical about it thinking they would break and i would die...lol but shit you can die just about anywhere in socal) and there pretty decent(i havent adjusted to low because i wanted to see how it would be first.break em in,) I have it on a 2 1/2 inch drop. On the roads they were not really bouncy like ones i have had before, they are just like the megan drifts if you ask me(had those too) but the copy is from the apex N1 model. Yes i was the guinea pig for there full suspension set up and shit for the price (free) you think i turn that down....hell nah! lol. But overall there like megans. Heres the picture proof.

robtheflyer · 01-17-2008, 10:22 AM

I tried to ask questions and start a thread about these a month ago, but a moderator locked my thread before anyone would respond. I would say someone with a budget project should try them? Tax time is around the corner anyway right? Well, here's hoping that someone is brave enough to give them a try.

shmiddy · 01-17-2008, 10:25 AM

i dont own any godspeed stuff but a friend of mine put one of their aluminum raidiators in his twin turbo supra and it seems alright. one thing i must say the look nice but are dirt cheep. 500 bucks is pretty cheep..... i dont know if i trust 'em but if you get em let us know how they ride

Bobafreak · 01-17-2008, 10:32 AM

hmm well ill have thesquidd drive it around and maybe he can shine his input on this as well.
