Default Ebay Coilovers

I've been looking around at coilovers and found some on ebay for $500 shipped. Wondering if anyone have bought these before. They are branded Godspeed, or there are some that are branded Yonaka. Anyone use items from this company before? Thanks.

you pay for what you get my friend. i will always stay away from ebay unless they are selling a name brand product.

Yonaka is a "cheaper" brand. Do your research online and decide if thats something you want to put on your ride.

dtp is using godspeed coils on his civic. ride is firm, dont know about quality, i still prefer my buddy clubs over ebay any day. if you want ebay coils, might as well just get some premium springs.

I got godspeed coilovers on my car. Now they were meant to go on a DA, so not sure if that would change anything, but regardless...ride is firm, put over 20k on em and have no problems. They are not damper adjustable, and you got no adjustment other than height. iirc, the dampers are manufactured in the same plant as megan or something, just springs aren't. Ah, either way, in reality, you want to go low and not care about ride quality nor handling aspect (I'm assuming). So just to be slammed these coils will do and actually are quite good bang for the buck. Was gonna try different springs on them, but got too lazy to swap them.

Getting ebay parts is a hit or miss. You gotta do your research first

Can't remember where I read this. but this guy was trying to do a Turbo build with ONLY ebay parts to go against the statement "Cheap, Reliable, Fast, you can only pick 2"

He did all 3 of them and its been great for the last few years.

Research is your friend
