need opinion on coils....

[Robotin]

so i picked these up and they are APC coils. ive never heard of APC and when i went online. there was not alot of literature on them. and the few JDM fan-boy wish-i-drove-a-real-car forums they all said that APC was terrible. but what do those JDM kids know. so any opinions or tell me about any of your previous encounters with these. thanx guys!!

If the JDM fan-boy wish-i-drove-a-real-car forum guys said they were terrible, then chances are they're terrible. I've never heard of them, so my opinion is really nothing but for what it's worth I would stick with eibach springs from GC. They're titties.

EDIT: But you should throw them on anyways and see how they ride. Who knows right? Maybe they're pretty sweet. Have you done a coil-over conversion on your front struts already?

[ckarsonkidd]

ive never heard of those coils either i agree eibach are awsome

[Robotin]

no i havent done a coilover strut conversion. yet. i plan on getting new struts soon. and hopefully some adjusters too.

They're garbage. This should have turned up first - they sell those ugly chrome taillights. That should be your first warning sign!

[Robotin]

its just shitty ricer parts


that said, it's hard to fuck up coils. as long as you know the spring rate you should be fine. We're not talking about dampeners here, just wound up metal that is then rated for a specific pressure.

Pressure is force per unit area. Stiffness is force per unit length.

Pressure is force per unit area squared. Stiffness is force per unit length.

honestly, you lost me bro. haha.

excuse me for not using the correct terminology if that's all you're getting at. :)

It is a spring, it can't be that bad? Maybe I am wrong though.

[Robotin]

the spring rate is 450pound. i put them in with some KYB struts. and they have been good. i accept them. any one know where i can get some adjusters??
