nvr-fast-nuf Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Please save yourself the trouble and stay far away from these. Ebay coilovers I tried these and they are not even strong enough tohold the weight of the car. They bottom out as soon as you let the car down off of the jack, if you can even jet the jack out from under the car. They also came out of the box looking like they have been used. And I would not buy from the seller, it took him almost two week to ship and does not respond to emails for days. All and all I got ripped off, screwed and burnt by this guy. I sent him an e mail about the quality and he has not responded. I guess that i am just out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creepin87 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 so your saying I should not waste my time installing these on my car? I already got my money back from her but I would hate to install them only to be disappointed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89PalermoSHP Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 you kinda get what you pay for right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 You sure you installed them correctly?? Did you adjust the height?? If you had them lowered down all the way, it would make the car very low and you wouldn't be able to get the jack out of the way... it seems like this is what is happening in your situation. The reason for the threaded sleeves is so you can adjust the height, turn them up and raise the car and report back. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvr-fast-nuf Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Yes I know how to install them. No they were not as listed the ones I got were already USED. They are the same helper spring that you can get through JC Whitney or at local auto parts stors. The ARE NOT MADE TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OG A VAR BY THEMSELVES. And how can you adjust them when the weight of the car compresses the springs flat. These springs have only 94 lbs. spring rate. That means that it takes 94 lbs to compress them 1 Inch. I checked them. I cannt even get these people to respond to me. I have e mailed them and called. I did get one email when I had to threaten to dispute the sale before when they didnt ship them or respond to me when I asked for shipping information. It took them 9 days to even get them to UPS. These people only seem to want you business until they get paid. Then they no longer care. I run a auto restoration shop. We mainly do body and paint work but I have worked in several suspension and machine shops over the years. Every where that I have worked take care of their customers before during and AFTER the sale. That is how you get return customers and good word of mouth advertisement. These low-lifes dont understand that. If these springs had worked I would recomend them to my customers, but i would die first. I also called shops here locally and they flat out refuse to install these springs because of this same problems in the past. I guss next time I will do more homework before I buy and I did blast them on their feed back but only told the truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8starion Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) so your saying I should not waste my time installing these on my car? I already got my money back from her but I would hate to install them only to be disappointed! After all you went through to finally get those springs you should at lease give it a shot. Just do the fronts first. See how it goes. You got em its just a few hours and you will know. Edited May 15, 2009 by v8starion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvr-fast-nuf Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I have PM Jessica, now I want to hear from her some how some way Lets see how long it takes to get a responce. I have sent themmessages through e-bay and called them for a week i have the phone bill and a copy of my messages to prove it. I need this resolved and it is kind of hard to do when the other party does not respond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvr-fast-nuf Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I finnaly got a responce and this is what they said "ok first off I personally sent the setup out and know they were not used. I am sorry for not responding quick enough but I was in the hospital due to an accident. the kit we sent you were not helper springs. and guess what, we also run a performance shop and have personally installed this kit so that is why we know they work. honestly I dont care about our feedback anymore due to impatient and whinnie a** people. we have installed every kit that we offer for whatever the vehicles. send them back, I really dont care at this point. once we receive them I will glady give you a refund. - boosted_kreationz" Now I do understand if this person was in the hospital, but i am doubtfull. here are some of the reasons it took them over a week to ship 1." we are moveing shop and it just fell through the cracks " 2. "...someone hacked my ebay account adn we were locked out." 3. "we shipped them and I am not sure what happened, so we will ship out another set today." then they gave me a tracking no. ups web site said " billing information received." for 4 days before they were actally delivered to ups. so now I am not sure. But at least I got a responce and can now take the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89PalermoSHP Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 heck, even their positive feedback has negative statements... i would avoid these people like the plague and thier cheap*** coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
