Re: CRX: coilovers?

[Lee & Tracy Grimes]

I have mentioned then problems coil-overs before and will keep it quick (for me at least).  You get what you pay for and it is not necessarily just in the metal pieces that you buy, it is also the engineering and decisions behind the pieces.  Most of the companies selling threaded sleeves and cheap springs are simply copy-catting the good stuff like Ground Control.  If I wanted a sleeve system, I would go no where else but GC.  I know the people and beleive they know better than anyone else what is going on.   Being in the suspension business, I don't think I have ever seen a car part that has generally caused more damage to or screwed up more cars than cheap coil-over kits.  At best, they are not the right way to do it.  At worst, they will damage your car. Even when well designed with good parts and engineering, they are simply tools to can be used right or wrong (usually wrong) by the owners or installers. A hammer is a really great tool for driving a nail, it is really good at smashing your thumb too.   Most dealers know cheap kits are trash and don't really want to sell them but do because kids without enough money to do it right demand that they sell them.  The return and complaint rate is through the roof.  Caveat emptor (buyer beware).    If someone truly sells a sleeve only really cheap and suggests that you cut your factory springs to fit-  OH MY GAWD, RUN FOR THE HILLS!   Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: danny To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 3:23 AM Subject: CRX: coilovers?
