Saw these on ebay.... anyone think they would work? I'm affriad that the spring rate might be a lil soft, but..... and $40 for shipping is a complete ripoff tho.... has anyone bought these?

 

i have no experience with them but remember, you get what you pay for

 

Wise words to live by..

 

I wouldnt even consider do that to my car.

 

Really... I cant believe you would even ask... you might as well make your own.

 

Check out this link...it's for an Audi, but describes in detail how the system works. Personally, I'm not sure how it would work in the rear since xB's have separate shock and spring positions.

I am not advocating this type of coilover; just giving you an idea of how it works.

I wouldn't hit it.

 

someone on here has them but I sure wouldnt buy them...

 

What they said...

 

I believe Hotbox05 is running a set of those (or something real similar. I think he's pretty happy with em. I wouldn't know

 

These might be like the other coil overs that were on Ebay that someone who owned an Echo said they popped out on him while he was driving. I personally wouldn't risk it, but if you do purchase them PLEASE be carefull.

 

I have a set of different ones on my Xb for over 6 months or more now. Never had problem with them and the spring rate is very high on them. I can't understand how people who have never had experiance with them can talk about something they have no clue about . I'm happy with the set I have and I'm not going to ditch them anytime soon. They do exactley what I want them to do. No complaints here............some people just need to lighten up. If you don't like them fine. Just don't go telling people to stay away from them if you have never had them

 

das my boy. tell'em munch.
oh and one question will they fit my stock shocks or do i have to get new shocks?

 

Munch, you said the spring rate is very high? How low is the lowest setting considering the higher rate of the springs?

 

The thing about running cheap coilovers is that you have to be worried about the sleeves cracking over time from stress.

Here is a reference thread you can check out with analysis from an eibach employee.

 

I'm running my stock shocks and struts.

 

The ride is still pretty decent even on the lowest setting. I like a stiff ride so I can't really know if you or anybody else will.

 

That's why I check mine weekly when I check my tire pressure and when I wash my car. It's like everything else. You gotta maintain your car if you want it to treat you good.

 

you guys NEED to look at that Honda link. . . wow!
