I'm looking to pick up these coilovers soon.

I negotiated him down $600 for these coilovers and he claims they only have 3k miles on them.

I'll ask him for some pics and I'll post them up if I ever get them.

My questions:
Are these worth $600?

How can I tell that they're in good condition? That they're real?

I have no experience with coilovers and just want to be careful when picking these up.

Thanks.

also i wouldn't let me post this in the suspension forum.. idk why.. too lazy to figure out why

 

napa coilovers?!?!?! i think youd be better off spending another $500 and buying some tanabe's or BC's man. i dont like dealing with situations like yours, people are very sketchy

 

i agree with rob, just save up your money and get BC coilovers (heard better things about them than tanabe, although there both great). You NEVER know how many miles are actually on used coilovers.

 

^ yeah im gonna buy some BC's lol i just wanted him to know the options so he would research, but i hear that BC's are of a higher quality than tanabe's.

 

^^ Not true. The struts for Tanabe are made by KYB and the overall quality is higher than BC. Ride quality is better on the Tanabes as well. The BCs are cheaper though and offer a lot more drop than the Pro 5s. Tanabe Pro S-OC offer more drop but no dampening adjustment are in the same price range as the BCs.

 

I dont think those are napa the emblem looks like eibachs. Dont know why theres a napa box but I think those are a little too big to come in it.

 

Yeah these are the eBiach if you look at the link URL

 

So you have the Tanable Pro 5s's? Are you running them on the lowest setting? Got any pics?

 

They only have about another 1/2" F/R of drop left available in this pic. I can't say enough about the ride quality though. Amazing...........

 

i think u need to get ur eyes checked lol

 

Lol yea those r def eIbach

 

So is this a good deal??

are these in good condition??

 

i didnt click the link and it was late lol i can see that theyre eibach in the link now and blue i wanna hear more about these tanabes!! i thought tein also made coilovers for our cars? ive seen springs...i dont want springs
whats the price of tanabes vs BC's?

 

The Pro 5 I got were under $1200 new. If dampening adjustment isn't important to you the Tanabe Pro S-OC can be found for under $900 new which is cheaper than the BCs. They offer a bigger drop than the Pro 5s as well so take that into consideration. Here's a review from earlier in the year from OCG35 on the S-OCs. He seemed to like them a lot.

All I can say about mine is I really like them. They are perfect for what I wanted out of a set of coils.

 

Got my BC's for a little under that amount, plus it's fully-adjustable. I'll have to take your word on ride quality though as i have no experience with the Tanabe's on the G.

The BC's ride pretty nice FWIW, much better than stock IMHO.
