Getting a discount on Godspeed products would pretty much make them pay you to take the parts lol. Joking aside, Godspeed products look okay at first glance but do not wear very well at all. Quality wise, they are comparable to ichiba products(suspension wise) as many parts between the two companies are interchangable. Which mesns they are not very good. a good rule of thumb is that suspension is one of the things that you should never cheap out on, as its a extremely cruical part of the cars safety and it can lead to even more costly propositions in the future should some part of it fail.

Yeah I don't plan on going cheap on my suspension but he said he can get me a good deal, then i thought about it, and was like a good deal can't hurt but is the product any good? he said they are I didn't believe him personally hence why the forums are made! Thanks a lot B_moneyy!

Ya I ran their headers at one point and a weld leaked.... Not saying they are cheap or anything. But when it comes to suspension its one of the most important things on your entire car. I would only run the best! Because if anything goes wrong its not just you at that point its everyone on the road.

In my opinion, I think that DME, Godspeed, Megan, D2 and such have parts made with no real testing/research behind but made more for "looks". Stick to real name brands and confidently install their parts on your knowing that you'll have nothing to worry about. But again that's just my opinion.

No that's where you have it wrong Megan actually does test their products they actually have Cyrus Martinez using a 240SX with full Megan Racing suspension. A arms control arms etc.. etc.. so Megan has very good products

This. Also, FWIW, there are PLENTY of people out there running D2 coilovers with no issues whatsoever.

Either way, D2, Megan, Ksport, and all those other coilovers you see for just a hair under $1000 on eBay are pretty much the same thing. In fact, I'm pretty positive you can swap parts between D2's and Ksports. I had Ksports on my Maxima with no issues. And their customer service was awesome every time I called looking for parts.

OP: The only Godspeed parts I'd ever consider investing in are their not suspension parts. Sway bars, maybe. But that's about it.
