i want to run coil sleeves on my es but im not sure if its a good idea or worse ever so please help me decide the best way to lower my car

 

i think it is a good idea for looks and a little on the handling aspect. i put a set on about a 2 months ago and i love them they make my car look better and i think they preform well for what they are. alot of people disagree on running sleeves but i took the chance and loved them so if you want it i say go for em! I think you will like the out come if you put them on!

 

Sleeves are bad. They will blow out your stock suspension. I know theory said he has had is for about 2 months, but I would like to know how is stock shocks and struts are holding up. Your best bet is to save your money up and get a full set of coilovers.

 

Depends on the roads in your area. I roll on Ground Control CO's w/ Eibach springs and yes it's quite jumpy. But if my wife can drive it like this, it's just fine for now.

 

I used to have them on my old civic and they were great. Had ground controls on tokico HP shocks. Performance and ride quality was great, even at a low ride height. Don't even think about putting them on stock shocks though.

You could just get Tien basic coilovers for around 800 bucks. Not too bad really. You'd be spending that much already between the coilover sleeves and shocks anyways. Oh, and don't get the cheap *** arospeed-like sleeves. Get ones like GC or skunk2 that have eibach springs.

 

Ground Control sleeves are the only ones i would recommend. And even then, you still need upgraded shocks. A custom G/C setup with Koni Sports would be ideal, If youre not going with full coilovers.

 

Any spring or sleeve will ruin your stock shocks after a while. If I had the money I would go with tein basic coilovers.

 

the GC ones are like $387 and the skunk2 are like $2something There is a company where i live called high end you have probally seen them all over the super street covers but ya they priced me for tein about $1,800with install and i thought that was ridcoulous so you guys would run coil sleeves with aftermarket shocks where do i find shocks at reccommand a website

 

stock struts and shocks are doing fine but yes of course money permitting and the fact im going to iraq here soon i want better but for a cheap upgrade and time being they are great! sets the car right where i want the stance! yes i would suggest my self upgrading to better springs and some nicer struts and shocks but like i said for the time they are doing the job!

 

Get Tien Basics for like $850 and install those biches yourself.

To TRY and go the cheaper route, get Skunk 2 or Omnipower sleeve coilovers (if they make them for your car) and some tokico or KYB shocks off of ebay. I recommend the tokico HP (blue) if you wanna go the cheap route. I have them on my stang and they ride great.

 

sleves are teh suck, i dont even install them at my shop. people were complaining about bouncyness, noise, harsh ride, blown struts.

get some tein basics or lowering springs
