Installed coilovers :D







got a sweet deal on these coilovers from Teso Sports..

was kinda skeptical at first about how well they would perform, but so far i've been pretty impressed. Coilovers are the only modification i've done to the suspension of the car, and just by installing these the suspension feels way better.. The car has much less body roll and it theres not as much understeer or drama when you go full throttle in mid corner.. These aren't going to win Redline time attack or SCCA races, but they work perfectly fine for what I use my car for, and gave me the look and alignment that I wanted

keeping my OEM struts and springs for now until I'm 100% sure that these wont give me any problems but definitely happy so far

flame on!

I know it's about your coilovers, but I'm just impressed at the condition of your Brembo's. Mine looks like ****, but yours looks pretty good.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
No one is asking the important questions -

What is the rate (front and rear)?

tvbf1 - I haven't done anything special to keep them up, just clean them every once in a while.. I've got about 55k on my car and no sign of brownbo brakes =-p

Nice. I've been debating between coilovers vs springs but GTWorx had a good deal so I'm going that way for now.

Whatever you're doing, keep it up. Because once it becomes brownbo, it's just nasty.

nope! still love them
